Yeah, Don.

That, plus maybe a little extra special help?

Satan says, "when I strike bargains with people, they first get something here on earth -- glamour, beauty, talent, wealth, fame, glory, a golden fiddle."   Throw out "glamour, beauty, talent" and that "golden fiddle," and add "power and influence" to the "fame and glory" part, and one might well ask WHO REALLY made a pact with the Devil.
