He is probably best known for his early 70s hits "It Never Rains In Southern California" and 'Free Electric Band' - but he went on to write countless hits for other artists such as Madonna and Leo Sayer. In 1987, Hammond's composition with Diane Warren "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" (recorded by Jefferson Starship) was nominated for an Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy. In 1988, Hammond won an Emmy Award for the song "One Moment in Time", a song he wrote along with John Bettis. In 2008, Hammond was inducted in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He is immortalised in song by Half Man Half Biscuit in their 1986 track "Albert Hammond Bootleg".
His son, Albert Hammond, Jr., is a guitarist in The Strokes.

Albert Hammond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vísteme de nuevo
Dúchame con sueños
Lléname de amor
Dame tu sonrisa
Quiero hacer un juego
Para disfrutar de tí
Lo mejor
Yo
Yo que nunca supe amar
Y hoy
Siento el corazón que está latiendo sólo por tí
Y me pongo a temblar
Cuando estás junto a mí
Te haces dueña de mi vida
Píntame con besos
Vísteme de nuevo
Dúchame con sueños
Lléname de amor
Dame tu sonrisa
Quiero hacer un juego
Para disfrutar de tí
Lo mejor
Tú
Tú has cambiado tanto en mí
Que tú
Has logrado convertir en luz mis noches sin sol
Mi aburrido soñar
Mi promesa de amor
Ya eres dueña de mi vida
Píntame con besos
Vísteme de nuevo
Dúchame con sueños
Lléname de amor
Dame tu sonrisa
Quiero hacer un juego
Para disfrutar de tí
Lo mejor
Llévate mi soledad
No quiero verla más
Déjame compartir tu sol
Nada puede suceder
Después de conocer
La maravilla del amor
Yo
Yo que nunca supe amar
Y hoy
Siento el corazón que está latiendo sólo por tí
Y me pongo a temblar
Cuando estás junto a mí

The lyrics of "Píntame con besos" by Albert Hammond convey a plea from the singer to be loved, desired and filled with affection. The opening lines of the song, "Paint me with kisses, dress me anew, shower me with dreams, fill me with love" set the tone for the desperate need of the singer to be loved and cherished. He wants nothing more than to be adored by the person he's speaking to, and he'd do anything and everything to feel her affection. The second verse reflects the change that the person he's speaking to has brought in his life. He no longer feels the same way he used to and is amazed at how her presence in his life has brought light to his darkness.
The chorus is a repetition of the opening verse, reinforcing the message that he desires for his love interest to make him feel alive with her love. The song also has a subtle hint of playfulness, with the singer asking for the love interest's smile so that he can play a game to enjoy her presence. Additionally, he yearns for the love interest to take his solitude away and share her sunlight with him.
Overall, "Píntame con besos" is a beautiful love song that speaks volumes about the power of love and how it can transform a person's life. It conveys the singer's desperate need to be loved, cherished and desired, and how his love interest fills up his life with joy and happiness.
