John Bettis songs

[Vinylalbumcovers]

Forgot about this one. He wrote this one with Michael Clark:

[AM Matt]

Also done by Heart (Ann & Nancy Wilson) from 1993 "Desire Walks On":

 

[Tom_P]

This is one of my favourite Rita Coolidge songs from way back in 1975. John wrote it with Jackie DeShannon. I wonder if this was the connection that got R&K "Boat To Sail."
I Wanted It All

 

[Bartog739]

Here's one from Juice Newton 1982. Not to be confused with the Poco song of the same name.

 

[Without A Song]

John also co-wrote with Richard a song for his solo album "Time": "I'm Still Not Over You." Like Karen's solo tracks, that's a Carpenter tune, not a Carpenters one.

Was trying to stay away from Carpenters' tunes in this thread. This one's about songs written away from Carpenters entirely. LOL!

How about this one from Christopher Cross?



This was used in “Growing Pains” and almost got him another hit. Nice song.

It is outside of Carpenters, as it's a solo song by Richard, though I'd buy the argument that it's very Carpenters-like in how it sounds.

LOL! Richard Carpenter wrote and performed it. We know Carpenters tunes Bettis co-wrote already. I was going for tunes co-written by Bettis outside of Carpenters entirely as the rest of the thread has shown. These are the tunes we may not already know he was involved in.

Always loved this one since I saw it on Growing Pains.

 

[Tom_P]

This is Jackie DeShannon's original version of "I Wanted It All", written by DeShannon/Bettis.

Another DeShannon/Bettis song.
