Gerard Kenny
It was not until 1978 after moving to England that he scored his first hit single with "New York, New York (So Good They Named It Twice)" (an ode to his hometown), which spent two months in the UK Singles Chart, with its parent album "Made It Through The Rain" going Top 20 the following year. Another single on the RCA record label, "Fantasy", proved to be another chart hit in 1980. On the same year, he released an album, "Living On Music", which saw success in the Philippines. Its lead single "Getting To Know Each Other" became a hit in local radio stations and was featured as a soundtrack in several movies and TV shows within the country. It was later covered by local artist Ariel Rivera. His composition "I Could Be So Good For You" was recorded by Dennis Waterman for the theme tune of the ITV series "Minder" and became a Top 10 hit single in the United Kingdom during 1980. It also gained an Ivor Novello Award for Kenny. In 1983, he began to work with Alan Jay Lerner on a musical adaption of "My Man Godfrey", but Lerner died before it could be completed. However, two of the song the pair had composed for this musical, namely "I've Been Married" and "Some People", later appeared on Kenny's album "The Time Between The Time" a decade later. In 1985, after moving to WEA, Kenny charted in the UK with another theme song, "No Man's Land", from the ITV drama series "Widows".
