Rupert Holmes

In 2003 he published his first novel, Where the Truth Lies.. Jones received 3 awards at the Grammy Awards of 2005, two for her Record of the Year collaboration with Ray Charles on the song Here We Go Again. Holmes later became the first and so far only person singlehandedly to receive Tony Awards for book, music and lyrics, for the 1986 Broadway musical The Mystery of Edwin Drood. In 1996 he created the television series Remember WENN for American Movie Classics. In that same year, TIME magazine listed Jones among the Most Influential People of 2004. Holmes previously had been in the band The Buoys, which produced the song Timothy about cannibalism. Within a week of its release, Feels Like Home had sold over a million copies. 1 Hits of 1979. Rather than repeat the softer mood of Come Away With Me, her second album was more influenced by country music.

"Escape" was included on his fifth album, Partners in Crime, and reached the Hot 100 No. Her sophomore album, Feels Like Home, was released on February 9, 2004. That one song is so strongly associated with him that, in one interview (http://www.rupertholmes.com/writings/new_york_magazine.html), he reflected that his tombstone might well be a giant pineapple. Norah Jones walked away from the Grammy Awards of 2003 with 8 awards, including Best New Artist.
