Throw me a lifeline.......stars who've worked with Richard. |

A prolific songwriter, Richard Orange has had songs covered by many artists. He has also co-wrote songs with many famous people. Stories of some of those colaborations are told below: |
| Deborah Blando - Blando is something of a sensation
in her homeland, having had three No. 1 songs, including one that had
a 13-week reign), |
Born in Sicily and raised on the Brazilian island of Florianopolis, Blando is fluent in Italian, Portuguese and English. From early on, it was clear she had a future in entertainment: Her vibrant, Pisces-driven personality is suited for music, theater and (one day, she hopes) movies. The album entitled "A Different Story" contains Deobrah's version of the Orange song 'Other People's Houses' Check out a great fan site for more info. This site also provides an MP3 snippett |

| Jane Wiedlin - Former member of the popular all girl group the Go Go's, Jane never quite reached the success of fellow band member Belinda Carlisle. Her best known hit in the UK was the fast paced 'Rushour' taken from the album 'Fur' |

| Her third album 'Tangled' features the song "Paper Heart" originally written in N.Y., by Richard Orange & Cyndi Lauper. The song was originally written about the homeless in New York, however Jane would only agree to do the song if she could change the lyrics. |
| *"The collaboration with Cyndi Lauper on 'Paper heart' was strictly
by mail, |
| The original was quite a bit more in depth lyrically, and suffered by losing the lyrics which captured the imagery described by Cyndi, lyrics Richard has described as "quite beautiful and touching" *quote taken form 'The very best of Jane Wiedlin' jacket notes. (1993) |
