Collaborating with songwriting partners, Howard Greenfield and Phil Cody, he penned numerous hits for Connie Francis, Carpenters, Captain And Tennille among others. He credited Elton John for reviving his singing career in the mid-70s. Elton signed him to his new label in the United States and sang on "Bad Blood".
