Produceded Donna Summer's two albums "She Works Hard For the Money" and "Cats Without Claws". Granted, the title hit "She" is assume and both albums have their moments, but not the best in her catalog. He also worked with her in the ninties, I believe.

Yes (as well as other stuff for her) but is that her strongest material? Sorry is that is off topic, everyone.

Back on topic, I think he also worked on Amy Grant's smash "Heart In Motion" album (the pop album with four or five big pop hits like "Baby, Baby" from the early ninties).
