Martin Page

Martin Page first gained recognition as a songwriter. With lyricist Bernie Taupin, whose usual partner was Elton John, as well as Dennis Lambert and Peter Wolf, Page wrote "We Built This City," a number one hit for Starship in 1985. Page and Taupin returned to number one the following year with "These Dreams," recorded by Heart. Teaming up with Peter Cox and Richard Drummie of Go West, Page wrote "King of Wishful Thinking," which was featured in the movie Pretty Woman, and became a Top Ten hit for Go West in 1990. Page's debut album, In the House of Stone & Light, was released in 1994. Its title track became a substantial pop and adult contemporary hit. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi
