Over 500 songs written, I believe, many for other artists. Neil is just SO important to modern popular music!!!

My favourites include :
"One Way Ticket" (bcoz who doesn't love a good train song!!)
"Wheeling West Virginia" (written when Down Under)
"Star Crossed Lovers" (very popular Down Under)
"Standing on the Inside"
"The Hungry Years"
"When You Were Loving Me"
and esp the slow version of "Breaking Up is Hard To Do" .....

Oh, but just too many to list, haha!!!

Top writer / Top singer / Top pianist !!!

THANKS for the Music - VALE, Neil.

I seem to remember that Artur Rubenstein once called him the best piano player in NYC.
