6. "One Particular Harbor" - MCA

This one was released in 1983. His cover of 'Brown Eyed Girl' was the highest charting single. It made it to number 13 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. The craziest thing I discovered was that 'Stars on the Water' made it onto the soundtrack of the 1993 movie "The Firm".
