Song wroter for Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Joe Cocker, Frankie Valli, The Hollies and Tom Jones

Doug Flett, song writer


Welcome to dougflett.com

Since the late Sixties Doug has enjoyed a significant career as a songwriter. Working with his long-time collaborator GUY FLETCHER, their songs have been recorded not only by scores of International stars but also by some of the defining icons of 20th century popular music including ELVIS PRESLEY, RAY CHARLES, JOE COCKER and TOM JONES. Doug is proud to have received both IVOR NOVELLO and ASCAP awards.

Writing across most genres Doug also works with talented singer & composer ANDY GILBERT and other new generation artistes and writers. Doug’s Independent Publishing Company is DREAMTIME MUSIC.

His “FALLEN ANGEL”, a former hit for Frankie Valli, is featured in the acclaimed, multi-award winning Broadway musical “JERSEY BOYS”. Two road shows are playing to packed houses across the USA. A fourth   company will open in its own dedicated theatre, currently under construction in Las Vegas, in April ’08.  The show’s London West End debut is scheduled  for  March 2008.  An Australian production is now slated for early 2009.

Doug has been active in Music Industry writers’ organisations for many years The Songwriters Guild, the British Academy of Composers, Authors and Songwriters and, in late 2005 he was re-elected to the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters where he sits on the Songwriters Executive.

A champion of the craft of song writing, Doug says, “I liken our industry to an inverted pyramid, the point balancing on The Song. It all begins with a composition and we must never let that be forgotten. A song is a mysterious thing, a creation that will often develop a life of its own. At times it seems to arrive all in a rush, from another level of consciousness. Power to The Song”.
