Passed away on this day in 1992 from AIDS related complications. He was 44. While Barry Manilow may have written the songs that made the whole world sing, Jabara wrote the songs that made the whole world dance. He wrote Donna Summer's Oscar and Grammy Award-winning hit "Last Dance" from Thank God It's Friday (1978) and Barbra Streisand's Golden Globe-nominated song "The Main Event/Fight" from The Main Event (1979). He cowrote the Weather Girls hit, "It's Raining Men" with Paul Shaffer.
