Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode wrote 3 songs on their latest album having never written for the band (although he had had a solo album out) previously - Suffer Well, Nothing's Impossible and I Want It All.

I love all Denny Laine's lead vocals on Wings albums, tho 'Time To Hide' (Speed of Sound) was the only song he wrote on his own.
Shame both of Jimmy McCulloch's songs for Wings are rubbish, as he seemed to be obsessed with drugs as a subject matter. Why am I not surprised to learn that he died in his 20s? |

You mentioned Bruce Foxton, Reg.......I assume you've already noted his excellent 'Freak' solo top 40 hit?

Guns of Brixton by The Clash was written by Paul Simonon, who also did the vocals on it.
