This songwriter came from the New Jersey town of Paramus.
He had one 1977 hit song that made him famous.
With cute lyrics and a catchy tune considered swell,
his release titled "Ariel" climbed the charts quite well.
Despite his instrument playing and songwriting skill,
that would be the only hit produced from his mill.
He would meet Denise Marsa on the other side of the ocean.
"Lucky Stars" was the duet they recorded full of emotion.
As a composer, he still remains prolific.
Up to today, many consider him terrific.
I thank wikipedia.org online encyclopedia for valuable information I obtained to write this poem.

While channel two was signing off the air,
there was the rocket’s red glare
and the bombs bursting in air.
Where did you and Ariel go from there?
That was a nice tale you told.
Now it is over thirty years old.
You seemed happy as a lark
after the day you met her at Paramus Park.
Yes, Ariel was a girl you would adore.
Dean, could you tell us about her a little more?
Based on the 1978 hit song “Ariel” by Dean Friedman.
