While she was finishing her debut solo album 'She's So Unusual,' Cyndi Lauper was introduced to songwriter Rob Hyman. Both songwriters were having difficulties in their personal relationships. 'Suitcase of memories' is a line that Cyndi Lauper remembers as particularly grabbing her. The pair put together 'Time After Time' as one of the last songs for the album. It was released as the second single from the project and became Cyndi Lauper's first #1 hit single. It earned a Grammy Award nomination for Song of the Year.
Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway - 'The Closer I Get to You' (1978)
James Mtume and Reggie Lucas, two former members of jazz legend Miles Davis' band, wrote 'The Closer I Get to You' while backing up Roberta Flack. The song brought Roberta Flack back to the pop top 10 for the first time in four years. It was also her second top 10 duet with Donny Hathaway following 1972's 'Where Is the Love.' Donny Hathaway died tragically less than a year after the release of 'The Closer I Get to You.'
Jackie Wilson - '(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher' (1967)
'(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher' was the final top 10 hit by R&B legend Jackie Wilson. It is arguably his best-remembered hit.

Peabo Bryson and Roberta Flack - 'Tonight I Celebrate My Love' (1983)
'Tonight I Celebrate My Love' was co-written by legendary pop songwriter Gerry Goffin and R&B songwriter Michael Masser. The duet followed Roberta Flack's return to the pop charts the previous year with 'Making Love.' It was the first recording by R&B singer Peabo Bryson to break into the pop top 40 after a long career of R&B hits dating back to 1975. 'Tonight I Celebrate My Love' was a top 5 hit on both the R&B and adult contemporary charts.
Adele - 'Make You Feel My Love' (2008)
Bob Dylan's song 'Make You Feel My Love,' originally recorded for his 1997 album 'Time Out Of Mind,' has become something of a contemporary pop standard. The gentle love song has been a chart hit for Billy Joel and Garth Brooks, but it is Adele's heartfelt reading that is most often recognized as the definitive recording.
Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell - 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' (1967)
Married songwriting team Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson wrote the classic 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough.' British singer Dusty Springfield wanted to record the song, but the songwriting pair held it back as they were wanting to draw the attention of the Motown record label. The Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell recording of 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' became their signature hit and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.
Ashford and Simspon - 'Solid' (1984)
Married singer-songwriters Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson had been writing hits for other artists since the 1960s, but they had never created a major pop breakthrough of their own. In 1984, the emphatic declaration of committed love on 'Solid' went to #12 on the pop chart and #1 R&B. The pair remade the song for President Barack Obama as 'Solid (As Barack)' in 2009.
Box Tops - 'The Letter' (1967)
'The Letter' was written by Wayne Carson after his father Shorty Thompson suggested the line, 'Give me a ticket for an aeroplane.'

When the group recorded 'The Letter,' lead vocalist Alex Chilton was only 16. The song was the group's debut hit and went all the way to #1. It earned two Grammy Award nominations. Joe Cocker took 'The Letter' back to the pop top 10 in 1970.
Snow Patrol - 'Chasing Cars' (2006)
'Chasing Cars' first came to prominence through inclusion on the soundtrack of the TV show 'Grey's Anatomy,' but this song's words of devotion make it memorable well beyond its inclusion on TV. It received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock Song and went to #5 on the US pop charts. In the U.K., Snow Patrol has spent a total of more than two years on the pop singles chart with 'Chasing Cars.'
Sonny & Cher - 'I Got You Babe' (1965)
At the time that he wrote 'I Got You Babe,' Sonny Bono was working for Phil Spector as a songwriter and producer. It was released as the debut single for married couple Sonny and Cher. The song went to #1 and became a defining hit of the hippie counterculture. It went to #1 in Canada and the U.K. as well making Sonny and Cher pop stars.
The Beatles - 'And I Love Her' (1964)
Paul McCartney has said that 'And I Love Her' is 'the first ballad I impressed myself with.' Although it only reached #12 on the US pop chart, it has gone down in history as one of the group's greatest love songs. The song is included in the film 'A Hard Day's Night.'
Peter Gabriel - 'In Your Eyes' (1986)
'In Your Eyes' was first released as a track from Peter Gabriel's 1986 album 'So.' However, it is the 1989 teen romance 'Say Anything' that made the song one of the top classic love songs of all time. The movie's character Lloyd Dobler serenading his ex-girlfriend with a boombox playing 'In Your Eyes' is one of the iconic film scenes of the 1980s.
Righteous Brothers - 'Unchained Melody' (1965)
This song has a long and fascinating history beginning with its use as a theme from a prison movie 'Unchained' in 1955. In 1955 it hit the U.S. top 10 in three different versions by Les Baxter, Roy Hamilton, and Al Hibbler. The latter two went to #1 on the R&B chart. In 1965 blue-eyed soul duo the Righteous Brothers released the most enduring version and it peaked at #4 on the pop singles chart.
Elton John - 'Your Song' (1970)
'Your Song' was originally released as the B-side of a single with 'Take Me to the Pilot.' However, DJs preferred 'Your Song' and it ultimately became a top 10 pop smash. Elton John's classic was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998. Ellie Goulding took the song to #2 on the U.K. pop singles chart with a cover version in 2010.
Eric Clapton - 'Wonderful Tonight' (1978)
Eric Clapton wrote his classic 'Wonderful Tonight' while waiting for his then-girlfriend Pattie Boyd to get ready for an annual Buddy Holly Party thrown by Paul and Linda McCartney in 1976. It was included on the album 'Slowhand' and climbed into the top 20 on the pop singles chart in 1978.
Billy Joel - 'Just the Way You Are' (1977)
Billy Joel wrote 'Just the Way You Are' for his first wife Elizabeth. It became his first top 10 pop hit and a major breakthrough. The song climbed to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the adult contemporary chart. It won Grammy Awards for Record and Song of Year.
Paul McCartney - 'Maybe I'm Amazed' (1977)
Paul McCartney first recorded the song 'Maybe I'm Amazed' for his debut solo album 'McCartney,' released in 1970. It is dedicated to his wife Linda McCartney. A live recording of the song from the album 'Wings Over America' became a top 10 pop hit in 1977 and is the best known recording.
Roberta Flack - 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' (1972)
'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' was written in 1957 by British singer-songwriter Ewan MacColl for Peggy Seeger who would later become his wife. Although played and recorded by a number of artists, it is Roberta Flack's 1972 version that has become the definitive interpretation.
The Beatles - 'Something' (1969)
This is the only song written by George Harrison to be released as the A-side of a single by the Beatles. It also quickly became the most covered song by the group after 'Yesterday.' George Harrison said that James Brown's recording was his personal favorite. Frank Sinatra referred to 'Something' as 'the greatest love song of the past 50 years.'
