This photograph is from a record review and ad for my release of "We Could Have Laughed Forever" It ran in "Indie Bullet," a Country Music Magazine (Volume 2 Issue 9)

“We Could Of Laughed Forever” is one of my favorite songs.“ Jeff explained, “ It was recorded a number of times. First as a pop record by my writing partner Mark Wirtz and later as an R&B track by John Valenti. John also recorded a song Mark and I wrote called "Save Me" for an album on Ariola Records, as did the English duo Peters & Lee. John's album contained his hit song "Anything You Want." He was a great singer and drummer and could make his voice like other recording artists. On his hit "Anything You Want" he sounded just like Stevie Wonder.“ "We Could Have Laughed Forever" was later recorded by Wayne Newton on 20th Century Records. It was one of two songs being considered for the second single release from the album "Change Of Heart" when the record company lost it's funding and went under. “At one point I worked for the American Song Festival. They were sending me to Las Vegas. Before leaving LA, I decided to see if I could get tickets to Wayne Newton's show. Wayne's album "Change Of Heart" was in a stack of albums put aside for my record review column. I found it and called his record company to ask about getting "comped" to the show. While waiting on hold, I started looking over the record cover. Imagine my surprise when "We Could Have Laughed Forever" was one of the songs on the album. Needless to say it was a moment of elation“ While in Vegas I contacted Wayne, who offered front row seats to his show. He did not have to ask twice. After the show I was invited back stage. While Wayne changed in his dressing room I struck up a conversation with Lola Flana who was also waiting for Wayne. “I met co writer Marc Wirtz when I was Professional Manager at Playboy's Music Publishing. He had several hit records in England before coming to the states. One was "They are Coming To Take Me Away" with Kim Fowely on vocals. Author Richard Williams refers to Mark (page 135) in his book "Out Of His Head" about Phil Spector. Stories circulated that Marc was involved with arrangements for the Beatles on but he was very hush-hush about this info.“ See the Links page for more on Marc Wirtz, Wayne Newton and John Valenti
