I did not know that, pretty cool.

He was a great songwriter having also written "Him", "Jennifer Tomkins", "You Got It All", and "Timothy" among others - the latter being the only hit song ever about cannibalism.

Where on earth did you go?

"Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain
I´m not much into health food, I am into champagne
I´ve got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape
At a bar called O'Malley's, where we´ll plan our escape"

He tells a pretty interesting story about "Timothy" on the latest edition of the (very funny) Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast:

Let's not forget "Answering Machine" as well.

He is also a Tony award winner for writing "The Mystery of Edwin Drood".
