songwriting
Twenty years had passed between my first hit single as an artist and my first dream cover as a songwriter. In the same way that “Sometimes When We Touch” had turbo-charged my performing career, Celine’s magnificent version of “Seduces Me” galvanized my songwriting career. From 1997 on, I concentrated on songwriting for other vocalists.
This had several upsides: songwriting, while more challenging creatively than performing, is also less physically taxing, and none of the vexing and superficial “artist” issues nip at your heels. No one cares if you’re cute, hip, fashionable, sexy, or young. All that matters is whether you can deliver the big song. And so, by the late 90s, wanting to spend more time with my family and pay closer attention to my health (I had been diagnosed as diabetic in 1996), I decided songwriting was the logical, the only, career choice for me. And there was yet another deciding factor: ability. I’m not going to play the modesty card here; I consider myself to be a very good singer. Nevertheless, I’m an even better songwriter. (That being said, my vocal ability has, in many cases, helped me sell my songs to various artists; I record or demo most of my songs before they’re pitched to singers or groups.)
Here is a list of some of the songs I’ve written that have been recorded by other artists. Most of these songs I’ve written with other writers. For the sake of brevity, I won’t include their names here, but they are listed in the song credits on the CDs, records, DVDs, movies, iTunes, ring tones, and videos that feature them.
