Wow. I see that name, David Naughton, can picture him, and so I was
thinking, "You know, he looks just like that maven of Broadway (and the
Planet of the Apes TV series) James Naughton. I wonder if they're
related." And lo and behold, they're brothers.
Of course, what this has to do with power pop anymore, I dunno.
Powerful Pop Culture, maybe.... :-)
As for the songwriters, it appears that the duo Dino Fekaris and Freddie
Perren wrote the song. They're also credited, it should be noted, for
writing "I Will Survive," among other disco hits.
