Title: Who exactly are Jim Dutch and Michael Horn?
Post by: TheWonderfulHarpsichord on August 13, 2017, 02:25:05 PM
The ones from Pacific Ocean Blue that co-wrote What's Wrong and Thoughts of You. I like those songs a lot and was wondering who they are. Like where they are from and what they do, I can't find any info on them

This would seem to be that Michael Horn:

Jim Dutch is trickier. I've seen that name mentioned as the pseudonym of a James B. Marshall, who wrote the lyrics for a song called "Mystical Lady":

And this Marshall person is mentioned here in connection with "Wild Situation":

Hope this is of some help. Maybe c-man has discovered his identity in the meantime...

It's gone all quiet here...

TWH, maybe Ed Roach has first-hand information about these two gents. If he doesn't see this, you could always PM him.
