from TO PROVE MY LOVE (single)
written by Ned Doheny
In the Seventies, Ned Doheny was one of those rare and magnificent singers/songwriters who beautifully mixed the country/pop atmospheres of Jackson Browne and The Eagles with the funky/soul of Stevie Wonder and Bill Withers, enhanced with jazzy arrangements and top notch performances. Unfortunately, Doheny’s elegant music style went largely unnoticed in those days.
from GEMS – THE DUETS COLLECTION
written by Sting
Sting’s evocative masterpiece, “Fields Of Gold,” from his 1993 album, “Ten Summoner’s Tales,” became one of the trademark songs of the late, American singer, Eva Cassidy. Cassidy was an amazing vocalist who walked in a fascinating music world between jazz, blues, folk and pop.
from STRONGER

“The Best Of Me” is without any doubt one of David Foster’s lovelier compositions ever. This sweet ballad, co-written with famed arranger, Jeremy Lubbock and superstar singer/songwriter Richard Marx, was initially recorded a couple times by Foster for his solo releases. The second version, sung as a duet with Olivia Newton-John, made the Billboard charts in 1986 and was also a top adult contemporary hit.
