Born in London, England, he is best known for writing and/or producing numerous hits for Brotherhood of Man, including "United We Stand" (1970),[5][6] "Save Your Kisses for Me" (1976),[5] "Angelo" (1977),[7] and "Figaro" (1978).[7] The song "United We Stand"[5] is considered a worldwide standard and has been recorded by over 100 different artists.
