He collaborated with Diane Warren on Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now which became a number one hit in 1987 for Starship and for which he was nominated for an Oscar, Golden Globe and a  GRAMMY Award. Hammond also wrote I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love, a hit for Chicago that peaked at number 3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1988. Throughout his 40 year career, Albert Hammond worked with mega music stars including Tina Turner for whom he wrote I Don't Wanna Lose You, Be Tender With Me Baby  and Way of the World. On 19 June 2008, Hammond was inducted in the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
