- “September,” Earth, Wind & Fire (1978) Willis’ first co-wrote for EWF — with the group’s Maurice White and Al McKay — was also the best song of her career, a joyful three and a half minute party that gets you on your feet from the first skittering guitar notes.
- “I’ll Be There For You,” The Rembrandts (1994) Willis was part of a team of six, including the Rembrandts’ Danny Wilde, who created this iconic theme for NBC’s Friends, which the band turned into a full-scale song after a Nashville radio station famously looped the TV version into a single-length hit.
- “What Have I Done to Deserve This? ,” Pet Shop Boys featuring Dusty Springfield (1987) Willis hooked up with Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe via a mutual friend in the publishing industry, writing this single about three years before its release, with the duo using the interim to refine the song’s structure and get Springfield on board.
