Rick Chertoff Produced This! He went on to become Cyndi Lauper's Producer (And Yes, He Produced Her Hits "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" "Time After Time" "She Bop" "All Through the Night" and "True Colors") And this is the second album you posted that features Randy Brecker (Brecker Brothers) On here, the other being Tornader's "Hit It Again" Ralph Schukett Arranged some of the tracks on here, he started off in the bands Clear Light and Jo Mama (And Mama features Danny "Kootch: Kortchmar, James Taylor and Carole King's Guitarist) speaking of Carole King, Schukett was also on her "Tapestry" record and has done studio work for James Taylor, Hall & Oates (on "Wait for Me") Todd Rundgren, Yvonne Elliman, Desmond Child & Rouge, Rex Smith, Rachel Sweet, Four Tops, The Manhattans, Rodney Crowell, Patty Smyth (Scandal and John McEnroe's wife) Whitney Houston, Belinda Carlisle and others, he also produced Sophie B Hawkins hit "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" He was once married to Ellen Shipley and he produced and co-wrote most of the tracks off her first album that you have! He and Christopher Ward wrote the song for the 1995 film Empire Records song (Rex Manning's "Say No More (Mon Amour") which is now a meme) He went on to become a TV Composer, working on shows such as Katie & Allie, Pokemon, Sonic X and Viva Piñata. Now this part is interesting, He was in Todd Rundgren's Utopia in the 70s and then left the group and reunited with them in their "one/off reunion" in 2011, and in 2018, when the group was going back on the road, he was going to join them and appeared on interview, then he backed out due to "Health Issues" They don't explain what, and then in April 2021, he died and they don't even say what from! which is strange, what was going on with him?

This is Ellen Shipley. Ralph Schuckett died from a rare form of Cancer. He is greatly missed

Hey Thanks! I Was Wondering What Happened to Him, P.S. I Like Your Music and the Songs That You've Written for Others (Such as The Belinda Carlisle Stuff) It's Cool on Your 1979 Album, You Had Hall & Oates Doing the Backgrounds, How Did They Get Involved With That and What Song Were They On?
