Allee Willis is a Grammy award winning songwriter most known for her writing the Theme Song for Friends and Earth, Wind & Fire's Boogie Wonderland. She wrote a ton of other songs that you've probably heard, but didn't know she has a hand in. Here are a few of my picks of her's. She also wrote scripts for Broadway musicals, directed videos for Debby Harry, The Cars, etc. All around renaisance woman. I frankly had never heard of her but her name appears on all these songs, so you end up knowing who she is. She definitely knew music. Not a person I would have wanted to hang out with, but she probably wouldn't have wanted to hang out with me either. Oh well. I like September. And anything Fishbone does
