My Take

Tony Sciuto is the kind of craftsman I genuinely root for: the writer behind the hits more than the face on the poster. Moving from Little River Band and Player to penning songs for the Bay City Rollers, Tina Turner, and B. J. Thomas, he spent his career quietly furnishing other artists with great material. I am especially struck that he landed a Top 10 hit in Japan, which gives him a real thread to our audience here. People like Sciuto are the connective tissue of the music industry, and I think they deserve far more recognition than the spotlight usually grants them.
