For those few songs written by a famous singer who isn't otherwise normally known for their songwriting.

Probably one of the best examples:




For a long time I thought Nutbush City Limits was the ONLY song written by Tina Turner, until I think we discovered on this very forum a while ago that she'd actually written a tiny handful of other, rather less well known songs!

The only song I know of that has Celine Dion included as an actual songwriter - and it's one of her worst songs.

Hmm.. I notice that Heartbreak Hotel isn't on there. Probably some guy decided he wasn't worthy of a writing credit as he only changed some lines. A bet that guy hasn't even got any hair or had an er*ction in 10 years.

I've just found a second song co-written by Celine Dion - and it's a Christmas song! gasp





It's not very Christmassy.

He's written two songs on his own.





The spirit of Hank is big on the first one.

I've found a third song that Cliff solely wrote! From his 1984 album The Rock Connection.

It's like he entered a contest to see how many cliches he could fit into the lyrics of one song. happy

I had to look up what/who/where "La Gonave" was - turns out it's an island off Haiti. I've seen an interview with Cliff on Wogan talking about doing charity work on a poor island near Haiti so it must be this one.

La Gonave

(Richard)

La Gonave I see your mist
La Gonave well I know you're kissed
By the same sea of trouble
That stretches back home
La Gonave
You've got troubles of your own
Yes I got troubles
Won't you come on and see
I got my needs just follow me
But they gonna ease by and by
If you tell all the people
That it's no lie
You only came for forty eight hours
Didn't realize how useless I was
Came to you for the nation sells lies
Lord knows but I still feel helpless
La Gonave I don't feel good
La Gonave do you think I should
Turn my back and walk away
La Gonave tell me what to say
If I'd been at home
Would you telephone me
I'm situated across the sea
But it's a small world from any point
Of view
Spare a thought
This could have been you
You shook my senses
Took my time
Froze my feeling
Broke my mind
La Gonave you've played your part
La Gonave you sure got heart
Didn't leave my heart in San Francisco
Didn't want to stay in Omaha
Never got fooled by New York city
But I lost my heart to la Gonave
Didn't leave my heart in San Francisco
Didn't want to stay in Omaha
Never got fooled by New York city
But I lost my heart to la Gonave
Didn't leave my heart in San Francisco
Didn't want to stay in Omaha
Never got fooled by New York city
But I lost my heart to la Gonave
