Question: Did Rubert Holmes write Escape?
Context: John Schmid (born 1949) is an American country and folk singer and songwriter who is popular among the Amish and Old Order Mennonites.  He sings songs both in English and in Pennsylvania German.  He is especially popular in the Holmes/Wayne Amish settlement in Ohio where he lives.  He may be the "only man ever to write songs in Deitsh". The Quest Begins is the first novel in the "Seekers" series.  It was written by Erin Hunter, which is a pseudonym used by authors Cherith Baldry, Kate Cary, Tui Sutherland and editor Victoria Holmes.  The novel follows the adventures of four bears, Toklo, Kallik, Lusa and Ujurak.  Each bear is stranded by themselves in the wild and must learn to survive.  The declining environment of the bears is the main theme conveyed throughout the novel.  Like the "Warriors" series also written by Erin Hunter, "Seekers" began as a request from HarperCollins who requested another animal story.  The company and Victoria Holmes agreed to write about bears after discarding dogs, horses and dolphins.  The novel was released in the US on 27 May 2008 and has also been released in the UK, Canada and translated into Russian.  Critical reception was positive with reviewers praising the realistic behaviour of the bears. "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" is a song written and recorded by British-born American singer Rupert Holmes for his album "Partners in Crime".  As the lead single for the album, the pop song was recommended by "Billboard" for radio broadcasters on September 29, 1979, then added to prominent US radio playlists in October–November.  Rising in popularity, the song peaked at the end of December to become the last US number one song of the 1970s. Tigers and Fireflies is an album released by Lynsey de Paul in 1979 on the Polydor record label.  It was launched at a special event at the Mayfair Club in London, with de Paul looking similar to the 1940s film star Veronica Lake.  Recorded at Long View Farm Studios and produced by Rupert Holmes, the album features lead single "Hollywood Romance" (co-written by de Paul and David Jordan) which was well received and became a radio hit, and the follow-up single "Tigers and Fireflies".  Other tracks include "Losin' the Blues for You" and "Melancholy Melon", both co-written by de Paul and her boyfriend at the time, the actor James Coburn, "'Twas" was a piano bar song with a blues tinged feel that was co-written with the album's producer, Rupert Holmes.  De Paul teamed up with former Eurovision singing partner Mike Moran to write the jaunty, jazzy and uptempo "Without You".  The album also featured an updated, rerecording of her earlier hit single "My Man and Me", giving it a more blues/country style than the original ballad. Partners in Crime is an album by American singer-songwriter and musician Rupert Holmes.  The album was Holmes's most commercially successful record and includes all three of Holmes's top 40 solo hits: "Him," "Answering Machine" and "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)."  "Escape" was the Billboard #1 hit of December 1979 and January 1980; it was the only single to hold the #1 position in both years and in different decades.  The album itself reached #33 on the Billboard Album Charts.  Although "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" was released as a single on Infinity Records, "Him" was released on MCA Records.  The Infinity catalog had been absorbed by MCA at the time the latter single was released. Allen & Grier is a folk rock parody duo that in 1963 released the comedy album "Better To Be Rich Than Ethnic" on Vee Jay Records.  The duo consisted of musician Jake Holmes as Allen and his wife Katherine "Kay" Holmes as Grier.  The two met at Bennington College and decided to write songs that mocked the popular folk music of the time.  The result was an album that, according to interviews Jake Holmes has given, earned the pair the label "the most tasteless folk group ever" from Pete Seeger. Anthony Boucher (born William Anthony Parker White; August 21, 1911 – April 29, 1968) was an American crime and fantastic fiction editor and author of mystery novels and short stories and radio drama scripts in those fields.  He was particularly influential as an editor.  Between 1942 and 1947 he acted as reviewer of mostly mystery fiction for the "San Francisco Chronicle".  In addition to "Anthony Boucher", White also employed the pseudonym "H. H. Holmes", which was the pseudonym of a late-19th-century American serial killer; Boucher would also write light verse and sign it "Herman W. Mudgett" (another of the murderer's aliases). Quinn Fawcett is the pen name of a pair of authors, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro and Bill Fawcett, who also write separately.  Among their collaborations are a series of mysteries featuring Victoire Vernet, fictional wife of one of Napoleon's generals; a series featuring Sherlock Holmes's brother Mycroft; and a series fictionalizing the espionage experiences of James Bond creator Ian Fleming.
