Most people know that his band made him famous, however, they don’t know that he is the man behind most of their songs. A few of his best songs include “With Or Without You”, “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”, “Beautiful Day”, and “Sunday Bloody Sunday”.

Bono doesn’t keep his talent just to himself. He ha written plenty of songs for other artists and he doesn’t even take the credit. Some of these songs include, “Mystery Girl” for Roy Orbison, “Jah Love” for the Neville Brothers, “Goldeneye” for Tina Turner, and “Slow Dancing” for Willie Nelson. He also collaborated with Johnny Cash on “The Wanderer”.
