Geoff Stephens, a songwriter whose compositions were turned into hits by both British and American artists in the 1960s and ’70s, died on Dec. 24. Neither the cause nor place of death have yet been reported. Stephens was 86.
Among the many Stephens songs that graced the charts—most co-written with other songwriters—were Tom Jones’ “Daughter of Darkness,” Herman’s Hermits’ “There’s a Kind of Hush,” “Sorry Suzanne” by the Hollies, Mary Hopkin’s “Knock, Knock Who’s There?” and “My World Fell Down” by Sagittarius.
