This producer was the
first of many to see the potential for greatness in Jessica. However,
because of the lack of finances the independent label went bankrupt,
preventing Jessica's album from reaching wider audiences.
Although
heartbroken, Jessica's dream to be on the radio remained. With support
from her family, and her father's managerial talents, Jessica's
independent album managed to work its way to Tommy Mottola's desk, then
President of Columbia Records. He was won over by her "pure heart" and
strong voice. Jessica's singing career with Columbia would take her all
over the world many times over and include three major albums reaching
Gold, Platinum, and double Platinum.
