This is testing the old fogeys out there but here goes.
What famous song writer had one of his big breaks in show biz with a song performed by The Monkees that appeared on one of the group's albums and performed in the TV show?
Hint: the man road a wave of enormous fame as one of the pioneers of the country rock genre in the early 70's. His biggest hit was a song named "Wildfire". That particular song was an enormous hit back in 1975 and reached No 3 on the Cashbox charts, #2 on the Billboard top 100 and No 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart. It was part of his biggest and most agree best album titled, "Blue Sky-Night Thunder" which also included another big hit for this artist, "Carolina in the Pines".
