Benny Sutton's top 10 songs

I've written songs for as long as I've played guitar - 40 years!

I was fortunate that I was in the cohort after the Beatles, who had established that bands can, and should, write their own songs.

I've retained the appreciation for the form of the popular song, which hasn't changed that much over the years.

I think the best songs are written in twenty minutes and most of these were. I do love how a song evolves as you record it and I've always respected letting the song take me where it wants to go.

Vocalists

I'm fortunate to have had some great singers perform my songs. The singer will always make a contribution to the final product.

Singers perfoming here include...

• Samantha Blanchard all the female vocals
• Gary King Smile and Starry night
• Christian Erik Story of the Blues, Crazy Lovin'
• Me Japanese Girl
• AJ Lewis Hold On

These are my pick of the best I have written.
