Yes, only on Cross Road/Greatest Hits and the WAN Deluxe Edition (!) as bonus track, not as part of the album. And I think they kind of made Blaze a band song over the years, which is why it's on the greatest hits..

Of course there are numerous songs only written by Jon (or credited for), like Bed Of Roses, Always, etc. but those are not Jon solo songs, but Band songs as well...

What if Richie is reasonably clean but not 100% sober? That might explain the "tip-top" type tweets along with Jon's implications that it's alcohol related. Maybe Jon demanded an alcohol-free Richie and Richie said screw that, you are way overstepping your bounds here, I'm performing fine.

Just a thought.

....so indeed, "Bon Jovi" works better as group effort.

I'm just kidding with you. Taste is subjective. I like most of the songs Jon wrote by himself.

I don't have all the songs Jon wrote by himself memorized, but I'm certain that he wrote I Believe by himself and they left that off the list.
