Another fine British tunesmith from the sixties and early seventies.
90 GEOFF STEPHENS
Born 1st October 1934 in London, England. Geoff Stephens was just one of the great pop song writers to emerge from England in the 60's, his success in the pop charts continued into the late 70's, when he went onto more success writing musicals for the West End stage. During a long career he's received many awards including a Grammy and an Ivor Novello, he's still writing, when he's not on the golf course, although the hits dried up long ago.
