Other hit songs include Living Next Door To Alice, Lay Your Love On Me and Mickey. Chapman has amassed a personal fortune of more than $250 million from his song writing, with his music played in pubs and bars the world over. There were so many hits that I just loved every one of them,'' he said.
Every hit over the years has been a highlight for me.'' ARIA Awards event producer Mark Pope said Chapman was approached for a lifetime achievement award this year but wasn't available. Plans are now under way for him to receive a lifetime achievement gong next year.
ARIA is well aware of the enormous body of work that Mike Chapman has done on a world stage,'' Pope said. Chapman forged strong friendships with Suzi Quatro and Blondie's Debbie Harry but admits it wasn't always easy working with some of the biggest egos in the business.

I have made it quite clear over the years that my relationship with The Sweet was a very strained and a very difficult relationship,'' he said. But I think out of that strain, tension and angst came some pretty hot rock and roll hits.
