- “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.
