What a band, what an album. I bet this one song on thriller set Steve for life.

[@sunsetsoundrecorders]

It did. I asked. And the 1000 others he was on, like Dirty Laundry

[@DonnyNoMarie]

Sadly, it looks like the days of writing a monster hit and getting paid a fortune are gone. The music business that existed in the 80s is dead.

Beautiful song.

How about a nod for John Bettis? He also co-wrote. 38 songs with Richard Carpenter for the Carpenters, including their number one hit top of the world.
