"His list of hits written with Nicky Chinn under the “Chinnichap” moniker include Quatro’s Can the Can, Devil Gate Drive and 48 Crash, Mud’s Tiger Feet and Lonely this Christmas, The Sweet’s The Ballroom Blitz and Blockbuster, Racey’s Some Girls, Toni Basil’s (Hey) Mickey (originally a Racey song called Kitty), Smokie’s Living Next Door to Alice, and Stumblin’ In, which Quatro recorded with Chris Norman.

"Chapman, who was educated at Churchie, also co-wrote Turner’s (Simply) The Best, Benatar’s Love is a Battlefield and Blondie’s Heart of Glass."

"Ride Like the Wind" is the debut single by American singer-songwriter #ChristopherCross. It was released in January 1980 as the lead single from his Grammy-winning 1979 self-titled debut album. It reached number two on the US charts for four consecutive weeks, behind "#CallMe" by #Blondie. On the album's inner sleeve, Christopher Cross dedicated this song to #LowellGeorge, formerly of the band #LittleFeat, who had died in 1979.
