"Baby Come to Me" was written by Rod Temperton, formerly of the band Heatwave. Amongst other well-known tunes, he wrote several hits for Michael Jackson from the albums Thriller and Off the Wall. Unfortunately, Temperton died in 2016 at the age of 66 after a brief-but-agressive bout with cancer.
Best known as the theme song from the sitcom "Family Ties," "(Without) Us" was written for the show by composers Jeff Barry and Tom Scott. Though originally performed in 1982 by session singers Dennis Tufano and Mindy Sterling, from the second season on the show used a modified arrangement sung by Johnny Mathis and Deneice Williams. Fans of the1984 movie "Footloose," which starred Kevin Bacon, may remember Deniece Williams' song "Let's Hear it for the Boy" from that soundtrack.
"I Want to Know What Love Is" was the first single released from Foreigner's 1984 album "Agent Provocateur." It features backing vocals from the New Jersey Mass Choir affiliated with the Gospel Music Workshop of America and keyboard work from Tom Bailey of The Thompson Twins.
