Sorry! I did some more research and found a Randy Newman online interview snippet in which he said that, because some of his fans prefer his socio-political commentary best, they respond poorly when he writes a straight love song. SO, he wrote "Feels Like Home" in 1995 for Bonnie Raitt. However, I was right about the Bonnie Raitt version being part of the "Michael" soundtrack.<br><br>Just goes to show you that you have to be careful about what you read on the Internet!

Everything I found says that Bonnie Raitt wrote the lyric and Randy Newman wrote the music. AND, as a film buff, I want to point out that it was part of the soundtrack of "Michael" a 1996 Nora Ephron film.

He wrote a couple of hits for Glen Campbell 40 years ago. Seriously, he doesn't rate with Neil Diamond or Willie Nelson. Or even Jimmy Buffett.
