Hi lebeiw...and welcome back! :D
Your answer was correct, but I'm afraid Bobo jumped in before you. :-/

Looking up Hey Deanie it seems it was written by Carmen...
But Shaun Cassidy might be the person you're looking for.
Eitherway, without meaning to offend anyone, I'd rather think that it was by Carmen than Cassidy.

You know I really don't understand why a lot of people have trouble remembering this song. :-/ I've always liked it. In fact, it made #1 here in the U.S. in 1975.
