He was known for writing successful pop-rock and country songs, including his 1977 solo hit "[Do You Wanna Make Love](/source/Do_You_Wanna_Make_Love)", and "[Right Time of the Night](/source/Right_Time_of_the_Night)" for [Jennifer Warnes](/source/Jennifer_Warnes). At [Fairfield University](/source/Fairfield_University), McCann founded folk-rock group the Repairs, for which he served as guitarist, keyboardist, vocalist, and songwriter. He moved to [Los Angeles](/source/Los_Angeles) in 1971 to record with the Repairs under the [Motown](/source/Motown) label, and then was signed to [ABC Records](/source/ABC_Records) as a staff writer. McCann moved to [Nashville](/source/Nashville%2C_Tennessee) in 1987 and began a long career as a staff writer and occasional recording artist. McCann also spent upwards of 25 years lobbying for songwriters' rights in Washington, giving lectures on copyright law in several institutes of higher education across the United States.{{Cite web |last=Paulson |first=Dave |date=July 4, 2015 |title=How an accomplished songwriter is a 'one-hit wonder' |url=https://www.tennessean.com/story/entertainment/music/2015/07/04/accomplished-writer-mccann-also-one-hit-wonder/29629707/ |access-date=January 26, 2023 |website=[The Tennessean](/source/The_Tennessean)}} During his career, McCann had been signed as a recording artist to [Motown](/source/Motown), [20th Century Fox](/source/20th_century_Fox), [CBS Records](/source/CBS_Records_International) and [RCA Records](/source/RCA_Records).

McCann was of Irish, German, Eastern European, and Swedish descent.{{fact|date=February 2023}} Donald, who held a master's degree in [Gregorian Chant](/source/Gregorian_chant), taught at [Fairfield Woods Middle School](/source/Fairfield_Woods_Middle_School) in [Fairfield](/source/Fairfield%2C_Connecticut), Connecticut, and his eight children, all of whom were members of his St. James church choir, rehearsed weekly and sang in Sunday services, weddings, and funerals. Amelia was a pianist and a good singer who knew how to read sheet music, though she scarcely played in the house.P.

Peter went on to [Notre Dame High School](/source/Notre_Dame_High_School_(Fairfield%2C_Connecticut)) in Fairfield, taught by the [Holy Cross Fathers](/source/Holy_Cross_Fathers), and graduated in 1970 with a Bachelor of Arts in History at [Fairfield University](/source/Fairfield_University), a [Jesuit](/source/Jesuits)-run institution, specializing in the history of [colonial America](/source/Colonial_history_of_the_United_States), the [Tudors](/source/House_of_Tudor), and the first five [emperors of Rome](/source/List_of_Roman_emperors).{{Cite web |date= |title=Yearbooks |url=https://digital.fairfield.edu/cdm/landingpage/collection/yearbooks |access-date= |website=Fairfield University History Only}} In his freshman year at Fairfield University, McCann, a [baritone](/source/baritone), met fellow singers George Mathias, bass Emmett Kelly, and tenors Jim Higgins and Sebastian Fiori, all of whom joined the [Glee club](/source/Glee_club), with Jim taking the part sung by former member Michael McCann, Peter's older brother. At the time, it was rare for a freshman like Peter, attending Fairfield University on a scholarship, to make it into the [Glee](/source/Fairfield_University_Glee_Club) club as a freshman. The Glee club hosted several variety shows at which members alternated from [barbershop quartet](/source/barbershop_quartet) formation, the Bensonians, to a 12-man group, similar to the Yale [Whiffenpoofs](/source/The_Whiffenpoofs). == Career == === The Repairs === Eventually, he met students Larry Treadwell, a [Hendrix](/source/Jimi_Hendrix)-inspired electric guitarist; Jim Honeycutt, a folk guitarist and singer; and Mike Foley, a [rugby](/source/Rugby_union) player who had picked up the bass. Peter began writing songs, influenced by folk music like the [Kingston Trio](/source/The_Kingston_Trio) and the [skiffle](/source/skiffle) music played by Easton, Connecticut native band the Jackson Pike Skifflers, led by his sister Katie's husband Will Tressler. Led by Peter as a songwriter, keyboardist, electric guitarist, and vocalist, the students founded the folk-rock band the Repairs, which also featured drummer Timothy "Ace" Holleran and Jim's wife Sukie Honeycutt on vocals. In 1971, the band accidentally stumbled into [Andrew Loog Oldham](/source/Andrew_Loog_Oldham), producer of [the Rolling Stones](/source/the_Rolling_Stones), who got the band signed to [Motown](/source/Motown) and convinced the band to move to [LA](/source/Los_Angeles), where he produced two of their albums, ''Already A Household Word'' (1971) and ''Repairs'' (1972). During this time, Peter was continually writing songs, influenced by [Paul Simon](/source/Paul_Simon), [Joni Mitchell](/source/Joni_Mitchell), [Billy Joel](/source/Billy_Joel), and [Paul McCartney](/source/Paul_McCartney), among others. Torn between attending law school and pursuing a career as a songwriter, McCann's father encouraged him to follow his dream. One year after the release of the group's 1974 live album, ''Repairs Live'', McCann got signed to [ABC Records](/source/ABC_Records) as a staff writer. === LA years === After roughly a year without high-profile songs, McCann's prospects looked sour. However, his big break came when he wrote the song "[Right Time of the Night](/source/Right_Time_of_the_Night)", personally chosen by infamous [A&R](/source/Artists_and_repertoire) man and former [Columbia Records](/source/Columbia_Records) president [Clive Davis](/source/Clive_Davis) as [Jennifer Warnes](/source/Jennifer_Warnes)’ debut single. It went on to chart No. 6 on the [Billboard Hot 100](/source/Billboard_Hot_100), No. 1 on the ''Billboard'' [Easy Listening](/source/Adult_Contemporary_(chart)) Chart, and No. 17 on the [Billboard Hot Country Singles](/source/Hot_Country_Songs) chart. It was the 34th highest song on the 1977 [Billboard Year-End Hot 100](/source/Billboard_Year-End_Hot_100_singles_of_1977) Chart, above "[Blinded by the Light](/source/Blinded_by_the_Light)" by [Manfred Mann's Earth Band](/source/Manfred_Mann's_Earth_Band) and "[Dreams](/source/Dreams_(Fleetwood_Mac_song))" by [Fleetwood Mac](/source/Fleetwood_Mac). This success prompted his signing to [20th Century Fox Records](/source/20th_Century_Fox_Records), who released his self-penned single "[Do You Wanna Make Love](/source/Do_You_Wanna_Make_Love)" in 1977. The single—produced by Hal Yoergler, Vice President of ABC Dunhill Music Publishing—was an international hit and sold over two million units. It reached No. 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and No. 22 on the Adult Contemporary Chart. It was the 17th highest song on the 1977 Year-End Hot 100, eclipsing [Eagles](/source/Eagles_(band))' "[Hotel California](/source/Hotel_California)" and [Stevie Wonder](/source/Stevie_Wonder)'s "[Sir Duke](/source/Sir_Duke)". It also reached high chart positions in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. His 1977 debut album, ''[Peter McCann](/source/Peter_McCann_(album))'', reached No. 82 on the [Billboard 200](/source/Billboard_200).{{Cite web |first= |title=Do You Wanna Make Love by Peter McCann |url=https://www.songfacts.com/facts/peter-mccann/do-you-wanna-make-love |access-date=January 26, 2023 |website=SongFacts}} === Nashville years === In 1978 [CBS](/source/CBS_Music_Group), now [Sony Music](/source/Sony_Music), purchased his contract from the Fox organization and began a fruitful, 20-year relation with him as a songwriter in [Nashville](/source/Nashville%2C_Tennessee), Tennessee. When McCann first moved to Nashville, he didn't know how to read [sheet music](/source/sheet_music) and had only written songs alone; he didn't know how to collaborate with others. He learned quickly enough through a process he dubbed “publisher cross-polarization,” writing with as many people as possible for profit, all “hoping St. Nicholas soon would be there” in the form of a hit song. McCann recalled all the writers had the attitude that they “knew how to write a song and didn't need to practice. If you didn't catch fire, we stopped, and didn't want to waste energy writing an insufficient song”. McCann first saw the value of collaboration after talking with [Walter Becker](/source/Walter_Becker) of [Steely Dan](/source/Steely_Dan) in the mid-70s; both signed to ABC at the time. Walter played him an original song, "Android Warehouse", and McCann asked him why he needed to write with his partner [Donald Fagen](/source/Donald_Fagen), as the song was already good enough. Becker answered, “Well, I don't know how to start a song, and he doesn't know how to finish one!” The first songwriter he collaborated with was [Richard Leigh](/source/Richard_Leigh_(songwriter)), known for his [Grammy Award](/source/Grammy_Awards)-winning [Country](/source/Country_music) Song “[Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue](/source/Don't_It_Make_My_Brown_Eyes_Blue)” for [Crystal Gayle](/source/Crystal_Gayle). Although the pair were both learned in composition and lyric-writing, Peter was more lyric-oriented, while Richard was more melody-oriented. They’d try writing something in the morning; if it were working, they’d have lunch and go back; if not, they’d go out to the bar and complete the next session. Eventually, publishers started telling him that he'd “forgotten how to write a bad song.” Nevertheless, Peter wanted to write great songs, as those were the ones that sold. The Leigh-McCann collaboration gleaned the country song “[Wall of Tears](/source/Wall_of_Tears_(song))”, recorded by [K.T. Oslin](/source/K._T._Oslin) and later [Frances Black](/source/Frances_Black). Although it was only a moderate success on the US Country Charts, No. 40, it was huge in [Ireland](/source/Ireland), where it sold 1 million copies (out of a population of only 3.5 million). By this time, McCann was a successful Nashville songwriter. He had written 55 songs in his first year in Nashville. In a bar, he met [Harlan Howard](/source/Harlan_Howard), one of the most enduring and successful country songwriters of all time. Harlan told him he “needed to go back to LA,” saying, “every one of those chart positions is mine, and you're molestin’ my hunt.” Eventually, Harlan warmed up to him. Peter recalled Harlan told him that country music was “[three chords and the truth](/source/Harlan_Howard).” He joked that after much pleading, he convinced Harlan to let him add an extra chord to the song “All I Want for Christmas Is You” in 1982. McCann often joked that they wish you could copyright a song title, referencing [Mariah Carey](/source/Mariah_Carey)'s hit single by the same name. McCann's hits in country music include the Grammy-nominated performance "[She's Single Again](/source/She's_Single_Again)" by [Janie Fricke](/source/Janie_Fricke) and the No. 1, "[Nobody Falls Like a Fool](/source/Nobody_Falls_Like_a_Fool)" by [Earl Thomas Conley](/source/Earl_Thomas_Conley). In 1991, [Baillie and the Boys](/source/Baillie_and_the_Boys) had a hit with "[Treat Me Like a Stranger](/source/Treat_Me_Like_a_Stranger)". McCann also had a song on one of the largest selling female debut albums of all time (''[Whitney Houston](/source/Whitney_Houston_(album))'') when [Whitney Houston](/source/Whitney_Houston) recorded his song "Take Good Care of My Heart". His song "The Star" appeared on [Kathy Mattea](/source/Kathy_Mattea)'s Grammy winning Christmas album. [Isaac Hayes](/source/Isaac_Hayes) and [Millie Jackson](/source/Millie_Jackson) took their hit duet version of "Do You Wanna Make Love" up the R&B chart. In 2012, McCann concluded a three-year contract with GrandVista Music in Nashville as a staff writer. === Songwriters' rights activism === Throughout his career McCann was active for the rights of songwriters and publishers, lecturing for [NSAI](/source/Nashville_Songwriters_Association_International), [SESAC](/source/SESAC), [ASCAP](/source/American_Society_of_Composers%2C_Authors_and_Publishers), and [BMI](/source/Broadcast_Music%2C_Inc.). He also lectured at the [University of Southern California](/source/University_of_Southern_California), [UC Santa Barbara](/source/University_of_California%2C_Santa_Barbara), [George Washington University Law School](/source/George_Washington_University_Law_School), [University of Tennessee](/source/University_of_Tennessee) Law School, [Belmont University](/source/Belmont_University) and [Vanderbilt University](/source/Vanderbilt_University), the latter at which he taught ''gratis'' music classes for the students. In his later years, he lobbied ''[pro bono](/source/pro_bono)'' in [Washington, D.C.](/source/Washington%2C_D.C.), on copyright issues. McCann was a vice-president and board member of NSAI. Being influential in several PRO circles, McCann was among the people pushing for [Bob Dylan](/source/Bob_Dylan) to receive the [Nobel Prize for literature](/source/Nobel_Prize_in_Literature). He also pushed for [Paul Simon](/source/Paul_Simon) to receive the honor. One time, Peter ran into Paul, inquiring on the fact that there had been legal action taken against him, to which he replied “you're nobody until somebody sues you." == Personal life and death == On the morning of January 26, 2023, McCann died in his sleep at his Nashville home. He was 74. McCann was survived by his wife and son.{{Cite web |title=Obituaries in Nashville, TN {{!}} The Tennessean |url=https://tennessean.com/obituaries/ten248123 |access-date=2023-02-01 |website=tennessean.com |date=February 2023 |language=en}}{{cite web |url=https://musicrow.com/2023/02/hit-songwriter-peter-mccann-dies-at-age-74/|title=Hit Songwriter Peter McCann Dies At Age 74|date=February 1, 2023|first=Robert K|last=Oermann|accessdate=February 2, 2023|website=MusicRow}} == Commendations == In 1995 he won NSAI's President's Choice award for his work in copyright protection. In May 1999, then [Attorney General](/source/United_States_Attorney_General) [Janet Reno](/source/Janet_Reno) presented McCann with the Volunteerism Award from the [National Center for Missing and Exploited Children](/source/National_Center_for_Missing_%26_Exploited_Children), for composing "Among the Missing" as an anthem for the Center's free use. Alongside co-producers [George Massenburg](/source/George_Massenburg) and [Gary Paczosa](/source/Gary_Paczosa), he produced the video, arranged the strings, and co-produced the recording of the song, performed by [Michael McDonald](/source/Michael_McDonald_(musician)) and [Kathy Mattea](/source/Kathy_Mattea). In 1995, McCann released a Christmas album of his own compositions on RCA Records, of which one of the songs, "One Voice", received critical acclaim and a letter of commendation from [Pope John Paul II](/source/Pope_John_Paul_II). In 2003, he won a special commendation from SESAC for his continuing efforts to strengthen the nation's copyright laws. ==Discography== ===Albums=== {| class="wikitable" style=text-align:center; |- !Year !Album ![''Billboard'' 200](/source/Billboard_200) ![Record label](/source/Record_label) |- | 1977 |align=left| ''[Peter McCann](/source/Peter_McCann_(album))'' | 82 |rowspan="1"| [20th Century Records](/source/20th_Century_Fox_Records) |- | 1979 |align=left| ''One on One'' | — |rowspan="1"| [Columbia Records](/source/Columbia_Records) |- |} ===Singles=== {| class="wikitable" style=text-align:center; |- !rowspan="2"|Year !rowspan="2"|Title !colspan="3"|Peak chart
