I remember when t came out

[Mamyalynne]

'Diana' made Number 1 in UK and the USA.

[Mexican18]

Didn't he have something to do with ' My Way'?

[MargoTester]

He wrote it

[postman44]

The question asked was biggest hit. I know he sang and wrote for other people that is what I was thinking. I put Diana.

[Zacs-Master]

Yes but that can be meant as largest number of sales or highest chart entry which are not necessarily the same thing.

[fiction-factory]

Yes, I think he wrote the English lyrics for My Way but not the tune as it was an established French song

[MargoTester]

...or most downloads.
I think Diana will be right- it was a big hit internationally- see Mamyalynne's post

[Mexican18]

I'm sure that Diana will be right.

[Zacs-Master]

With 9 million sales and a number 1, it probably is.

[MargoTester]

FF - look at my post 15.57

[fiction-factory]

Hi margotester- what about your post at 15:57?

He also wrote Puppy Love for Donny Osmond etc

When I saw the thread title I thought this was going to be an RIP thread

[Mamyalynne]

I think Margo means you mentioned me but not her, we posted at the same time.
