His 2nd LP had some fine moments, but was not as strong as his debut.

His 1983 LP for RCA "Back to the Front" had solid tracks such as "Lover Come Back".

He and writing partner Robert Rans struck commercial gold when they composed a song called "Material Girl" which became a career-defining hit in 1985 for Madonna.
