From LOUDER THAN WORDS
Written by Lionel Richie
“Louder Than Words,” released in 1996, was Lionel Richie’s comeback album after a long period of inactivity due to personal issues. The veteran pop/r&b superstar who wrote and sang evergreens like “Hello,” “All Night Long” and “Endless Love” gave audiences an interesting new album that was sheer evidence that his talent was still intact.
From CHANGING TIDES
Written by David Foster, Jay Graydon & B.J. Cook Foster
In the late seventies, Nigel Olsson, the rhythmic force in Elton John‘s touring band, established himself as a solo artist. Olsson’s records had decent sales and even spawned a couple of Top 40 hits like “A Little Bit Of Soap” and “Dancing Shoes.”

Written by Diane Warren
In 1998, Whitney Houston released a new album entitled “My Love Is Your Love.” It was a state of the art affair that involved the cream of the nu soul/hip-hop music makers like Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean of The Fugees, Missy Elliot, Rodney Jerkins plus legendary mainstream powerhouses including Babyface and David Foster.
From THE UNIMAGINABLE LIFE
Written by David Foster & Kenny Loggins
The summer of 1997 saw the release of Kenny Loggins’ new album entitled “The Unimaginable Life.” This album is a delightful musical journey into the most elegant acoustic pop/soul sound with jazzy echoes while lyrically it’s a (sappy) celebration of Loggins’ newly found love.
