- Graydon has written more than 220 songs. His catalog includes the Grammy winners "Turn Your Love Around" (George Benson) and "After the Love Has Gone" (Earth, Wind & Fire), as well as "Who's Holding Donna Now" (DeBarge), "Friends In Love" (Dionne Warwick and Johnny Mathis), many songs written with and for Al Jarreau (including "Mornin'", "Breakin' Away", "High Crime", "After All", and "Roof Garden"), and several hits with Manhattan Transfer including "Twilight Zone", "On The Boulevard", "Smile Again", and "Spies In The Night".
This was written by David Foster, Jay Graydon and Bill Champlin. Graydon tells the story: "David Foster produced an album for Jaye P. Morgan in 1976. It's a great record. It's available in Japan, and never did anything here, really. Then he was at Motown playing some songs with Jaye to try to get a deal over there. He was in the middle of playing a song and he forgot the chorus, and he ad-libbed the chorus to 'After The Love Has Gone.' He comes over to my house, and we went into my little dinky studio. He sits down at the piano, and he says, 'Listen to this chorus.' He plays it, and I said, 'Hey, here's an idea for a verse.' And I went, 'da da dom, A major 7, da-D-minor-6, da da A major 7, bom ba da da da F-sharp minor.' And he just immediately continued on with that, and we had the whole song written in about half an hour/45 minutes. We called Champlin: 'Bill, get over here, we need a lyric.' David was producing Champlin at the time. David recorded it with Champlin, maybe three different versions. He got one that he really liked, though. But then David was also writing with Maurice White for Earth, Wind & Fire for the I Am album. He played the song for Maurice, and Maurice loved it. David called me and says, 'Hey, man, Earth, Wind & Fire wants to record it, but I don't want to tell Champlin that it's gonna have to get pulled off his record. Will you do it?' I said, 'I sure will.' (laughs) I called Bill and I said, 'Bill, here's the story.' And he says, 'I'm not an idiot, man.' (laughing) I said, 'I'm glad you say you're not an idiot. Because they say this thing's gonna be a single for sure. And this could be big.' Needless to say, that song still generates good money. It's unbelievable."
"After the Love Has Gone" was nominated for a Grammy for Record of the Year and won for Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group. The song also won a Best R & B Song Grammy Award for Foster, Graydon and Champlin as its composers. After the Love Has Gone has been placed on Bruce Pollock's list of The 7,500 Most Important Songs of 1944-2000
For a while to love was all we could do
We were young and we knew
And our eyes were alive
Deep inside we knew our love was true
For a while we paid no mind to the past
We knew love would last
Evry night somethin right
Would invite us to begin the dance
Somethin happened along the way
What used to be happy was sad
Somethin happened along the way
And yesterday was all we had
And oh after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around
Oh oh oh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
[ Lyrics from: www.lyricsfreak... ]
For a while to love each other with all
We would ever need
Love was strong for so long
Never knew that what was
Wrong oh baby wasn't right
We tried to find what we had
Till sadness was all we shared
We were scared this affair would lead our love into
Somethin happened along the way
Yesterday was all we had
Somethin happened along the way
What used to be happy is sad
Somethin happened along the way
Oh yesterday was all we had
And oh after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around
Oh oh oh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Oh oh oh oh oh oh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Oh woh woh
Oh woh woh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Woh woh woh after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found
Woh woh woh

Incredible musicianship, love the 1980 Airplay version and the 2002 version with more expressive guitar solo. Roxann with Warren Wiebe vocal is also a phenomenal composition recorded and produced flawlessly.

what an instrumental. How did you remove the vocal sound?? Are you using Audacity or other similar programs?
I think Graydon pulled this right off the 2' 30 IPS multitrack.
