Geoffrey Cushing-Murray (born 1946 in New York, United States) is an American songwriter. He served as a decorated Army officer in Vietnam and studied English at UCLA, where he was a member of the varsity fencing team. He has written songs such as "Hot Night in a Cold Town" which was covered by John Mellencamp, Uriah Heep and Steppenwolf. He was also a longtime songwriting partner of Carl Wilson[1]of the Beach Boys, having co-written "Angel Come Home", "Full Sail", and "Goin' South" with Carl, and "Love Surrounds Me" with Dennis Wilson. Plans to write with Brian Wilson were shelved at the initial discussion stage.[citation needed]
