"Women's songs" written by men

[ailsagirl]

I can think of three:

Private Dancer - Mark Knopfler

Angel of the Morning - Chip Taylor

Woman in Love - Barry Gibb

Interesting-- never would have guessed it!

I'm sure there are lots more

1. Respect - sung by Aretha Franklyn

was written by Otis Redding.

2. That's not a woman's song.

At least not when Otis Redding wrote it.

Aretha certainly made it her own and a woman's anthem in the process, but we can't credit Redding with that.

3. "my boyfriend's back" -- Bob Feldman, Jerry Goldstein and Richard Gottehrer

[tymorial]

4. I saw Tina perform Private Dancer in 2009

For her 50 anniversary tour. The entire concert was incredible. Age did not slow her down.

7. "boys" -- Luther Dixon and Wes Farrell

the beatles covered this song (ringo's best lead vocals, imho).

8. I did not know that

I recall that Ringo sang lead and I remember it was an exuberant song

Tho' I haven't heard the original, I still think my vote would go to the Beatles
