This collection brings together 27 compositions from the celebrated musician's catalog. The songbook opens with the infectious rhythms of "All Night Long" and moves through romantic ballads like "Hello" and "Endless Love." Readers encounter the gentle melodies of "Easy" alongside the upbeat energy of "Dancing on the Ceiling." The anthology captures both tender moments in "Three Times a Lady" and "Truly" and more spirited numbers like "Running with the Night." Songs span the artist's solo career and collaborative work, including the humanitarian anthem "We Are the World." Each piece appears in piano, vocal, and guitar notation, making the material accessible to multiple instruments. The collection reflects the songwriter's ability to craft both intimate love songs and celebratory dance tracks that dominated radio throughout the 1980s.
