Title: Written by MK but ONLY RECORDED by someone else
Post by: Jules on May 11, 2016, 08:20:38 AM

Hello!

I was just thinking in songs that MK wrote but were ONLY RECORDED by other artists, not by MK/DS/NHB... this would be the list that comes to mind:

- PRIVATE DANCER
Written by MK for the Love Over Gold DS record, but never released by them, but made a hit by TINA TURNER

- OVERNIGHT SENSATION
Written by MK, as far as I know, for TINA TURNER, and released in her record "Break Every Rules"

- THINK I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH
Written by MK for the DS record On Every Street, but never released in STUDIO by them, just by JEFF HEALY in is "Hell to Pay" record

- OLDER SURFER ON THE BEACH
Written by MK for the Privateering record, according to Guy, recorded by JIMMY BUFFETT only

- I NEVER MET A ONE LIKE YOU
Written by MK for the Privateering record as well, released by HOT RIZE, the band in which Tim O'Brien plays

Any other that comes to your mind?

Remember we are talking about songs NEVER RELEASED IN STUDIO VERSIONS by MK/DS/NHB...

Wrong, this song was recorded by MK under the name of "Our Shangri-La" in 2004 ;D

LOL, yes, it´s so similar than it´s easy to understand why MK decided not to record it  ;D

I think there was also a song in a Chet Atkins record co-composed... Can't recall... Cosmic Square Dance?

Yep, from Chet's 1985 release Stay Tuned. Written by both and Paul Yandell
