So,ich hatte mal wieder ein bißchen Zeit und Lust,einen weiteren begabten(und sehr erfolgreichen!) Songwriter zu posten: Diane Warren.

Three years later, Warren penned "Rhythm of the Night" for DeBarge, which hit number three on the pop charts and number one on the Adult Contemporary chart.

Diane Warren has written for such legends of song as Elton John, Tina Turner, Barbra Streisand, Aretha Franklin, Roberta Flack and Roy Orbison.
