Rich Fammeree died a year ago last May from ALS....a bad death. His daughter was 3. From 1983 until his death we were partners. We learned how to write together...nose to nose. Ritchie and I were were very competitive and rarely gave the other credit...who finished the bit was the writer of record (like this means anything...as we rarely got money for writing -- though Rich had a hit single in Australia). So, I am unpacking boxes moving here - and when my back hurts too much I work to finish our bits. And as Ritchie is dead and can't complain - I credit it to both of us. This started as his bit...I wrote the about 1/2 of the lyrics and the middle 8 (the love you bit...more dissonant than Rich would have tolerated...though it employs a chromatic run that was one of his "tricks'). I'll record it and send it to his wife and daughter....because he was brilliant and his work shouldn't be lost...come the wind...the wake...or the rain.
