'True Colors,' 'Like a Virgin,' 'Eternal Flame', 'I’ll Stand by You', 'I Drove All Night'... Escribió principalmente las letras, no la música, pero aún así, vaya currículum. Y qué diferencia a veces entre la fama de los intérpretes y la de los autores.

Tea time.Feb 17

I’m so sorry to hear of #billysteinberg's passing. He was a great lyricist and a wonderful collaborator. He and Tom had such a way of capturing the range within an emotion, from the subtlety to urgency. When I think back across ‘True Colors,’ ‘Unconditional Love,’ ‘I Drove All Night,’ ‘My First Night Without You,’ and ‘Heading West,’ I’m wowed. I mean, come on, ‘I’m like a letter with no address.’ Pure genius.”
