Shakedown Cruise was another song of his that I think made the top 40. Pretty good song at that.

Jay Ferguson has been quite successful since the '80s. Not as a recording artist, but as a composer in TV and movies. Award winning for the theme song of "The Office", and currently is composer for "NCIS:Los Angeles".

Cheers,
Greg
