I found this Wikipedia narrative about the "composer" of the monstrosity, "You Light Up My Life":
(Joseph Brooks, born Joseph Kaplan[1] (March 11, 1938 – May 22, 2011),[2] and also known as Joe Brooks or Joey Brooks, was an American composer, director, producer, and screenwriter. He was a prolific writer of advertising jingles and wrote the hit songs "My Ship Is Comin' In", "If Ever I See You Again", and "You Light Up My Life", the latter being composed for the hit film of the same name that he also wrote, directed, and produced. In his later years he became the subject of an investigation after being accused of a series of casting-couch rapes. He was indicted in 2009, but committed suicide on May 22, 2011, before his trial.)
Seems like the kind of guy I would want to share an ice cold beer with.
