Cogle has also written Sharon Blacks \"Struggling\", Marcia Griffiths \"Survival\" and Joe Coleman's \"The Way I Feel For You\". In 1982 Cogle contacted Polygram Records which is now Universal Music Publishers and signed a contract with them for thirty-nine of his songs. In 1987 the contract with Universal Music Publishers was re-written to include additional songs he had written; by 1997 this contract was finalized."@en . . . . "2019"^^ . . . .
