    I just read this song writer/producer died.

    Total Eclipse Of The Heart + Making Love Out Of Nothing At All + I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) + Read 'Em And Weep + Rock And Rock Dreams Come Through = [song writer]

    Go ahead and name the recording artist for each song of you like too.

    Bonnie Tyler/Air Supply/Meatloaf/Barry Manilow /Jim Steinman.

    Song writer is Jim Steinman. I read that he was Meatloaf's best friend and he is devastated by his death. Was a very talented man.

    These artists share the SAME SONG TITLE but DIFFERENT SONGS:

    Bobby Sherman
    The Spinners
    George Strait
    Elvis Presley
    Merle Haggard

    NAME THE SONG TITLE (and give a shout out to your favorite)

    Mine are Bobby Sherman, George Strait and Merle Haggard (in that order)

    deckerp Posts: 4,433 Member
    My first thought for Bobby Sherman was Julie Do You Love Me and it took me a while to think of Easy Come Easy Go. Duh.

    I like Bobby Sherman's version the best and probably Elvis second, but am not familiar with any but Bobby Sherman's version.

    My favorites DEFINITELY George Strait.
    I remember Bobby Sherman’s version, but not really a fan.
    Don’t remember ever hearing the other 3, but listened to all 3. i like the Merle version. Not really a Merle fan either.

    I like a few of Bobby Sherman songs; Julie Do You Love Me, Little Woman (I had that record cut out from the back of a cereal box), Easy Come Easy Go and Getting Together. Getting Together was a minor hit and theme song to his short lived TV show, with the same title. The show was actually a spin-off of The Partridge Family.

    And George Strait...REAL Country Music! (so is Merle)

    @deckerp first to answer. You're up.

    TV theme song from a show of the same name. I think it was his only hit, but a good song from 1979.

    American Werewolf In London / Sitcom theme song = [singer/song]

    Looking for an actor from the movie and the sitcom. He sang the song and acted in both.

    David Naughton / the song I can hear in my head. I just can't think of the title. something...."it"..... Movin' It.....Shakin' It...Makin' It.... I think it's Makin' It (without looking it up.)

    I remember seeing American Werewolves in London at the movies, when it came out. And I remember watching the TV Show. I also remember his Dr Pepper commercials. They were catchy. ...wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too.

    deckerp Posts: 4,433 Member
    Correct: Makin' It

    I am a Pepper and that is a catchy tune, even though I drink more Diet Pepsi.
