The last song written by NILE RODGERS & BERNARD EDWARDS (1995)

The song "Can I Touch You... There?" from 1995 performed by MICHAEL BOLTON was the last song written by NILE RODGERS & BERNARD EDWARDS (along with MICHAEL BOLTON & ROBERT JOHN "MUTT" LANGE). This song was registered in the United States Copyright Office in 1995, but the song that appears on the album "Greatest Hits 1985 - 1995" of MICHAEL BOLTON says it was written only by MICHAEL BOLTON & ROBERT JOHN "MUTT" LANGE, not listed in credits NILE RODGERS & BERNARD EDWARDS. What would have happened? It could have been an error in printing? MICHAEL BOLTON & ROBERT JOHN "MUTT" LANGE could have written a new song and not having used the original song? I don't know but would like to know.

Thanks to FrenCHIC, he managed to decipher what happened in this song.
He says:
- Unfortunately it's not a new song of Bernard & Nile.
- They are credited because this song includes some part of 1982 Carly Simon's Why.
- Listen from 00:04 to 00:14 for example: it's the "la dida dida" of Carly.
He's right, we can hear this little piece of "Why?" of CARLY SIMON. Probably the first version of this song would have the largest piece because it was registered in the United States Copyright Office with 4 names (NILE & BERNARD & MICHAEL & ROBERT), and the final version the song uses a very small portion, perhaps why MICHAEL BOLTON & ROBERT JOHN "MUTT" LANGE not put the names of NILE & BERNARD in the credits.
