She absolutely did, only the song did not meet the condition of being a Top 20 (USA Billboard Chart) hit--if it was even released as a single, at all, whereas "Close To You" was a Top 20 hit. "Top 20" was important, in that it squeezed in CBS/Kanye West's "Ghost Town" which peaked at #16.

Connect Gary Lewis & the Playboys to Kanye West with just TWO connecting recording artist (and 3 songwriters)


NOTE: One song appears TWICE in the connective list...

Every song made it into the USA Billboard Top Twenty

Note: I've been proof reading my last post and neglected to mention you guessed "Arthur's Theme" correctly. I fixed that.

Thanks for sticking with this puzzle! It took me just a couple minutes to concoct it, I never imagined it would be so hard!
