TO PROVE MY LOVE

from TO PROVE MY LOVE  (single)

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.

BEST OF ME

from STRONGER

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.
