Many thanks to the producers of series Sex Education who included the song 'Rain or Shine' which I produced and co-wrote with Pete Sinfield for the group Five Star Official in the 80’s which is in season 4 episode 1.
'Rain or Shine' is streaming alongside the entire Sex Education soundtrack on this wonderful Spotify playlist...
Over 40 years ago, Billy co-wrote a song with Terry Britten and Sue Shifrin called “She’s Trouble” for the iconic Michael Jackson Thriller album. Michael started recording the song with his vocal on the track but the song was never finished. Christmas 2022 was the celebration of 40 years since the release of Thriller and a new re-release was put out with previously unheard Michael Jackson recordings that included “She’s Trouble.”
