Notes

Although considered a one-hit wonder in the US, he has had multiple singles chart in other territories and continues to write, record, and tour. [1] [2] Music [ edit ] Friedman and Marsa first met when Marsa was auditioning for manager Don Puluse at Columbia Recording Studios. Friedman then went to one of her shows in a club in New York. Then, a few weeks later they bumped into each other in West Village, where Marsa lives. Friedman then called her to say he had written a song with her in mind to sing it. Marsa went over to his apartment and suggested that they sing it together with her adding a harmony. [4] [5] The record company neglected to put her name on the credits of the single. However, she was included on the album credits. [6] As time went on she has been known as "the Mystery Voice" or "the Mystery Lady" and Friedman says that who she is is one of the most common questions he is asked at interviews. [7] [6] Marsa said it was an "on-going issue collecting royalties" and she was not paid any royalties until 2008.
