First *squee* I love that John and I are almost the same age because it means we like so many of the same songs.
Second, for some reason they cut off half the song title - You Don't Have To Say is You Don't Have To Say You Love Me, most famously recorded by Dusty Springfield but there is also a lovely version by Elvis (if you like Elvis - I do sometimes and this is one of those times).
From A Distance was recorded by Bette Midler a few years back.
I would say he would do I Know Him So Well as a solo - I have a CD of Elaine Paige's where she does the same and it's a lovely recording. I think she may have changed a line or two so it worked better as a solo and there were background vocals for the "Wasn't it good/wasn't he fine?" parts but it worked for her, I'm sure it would work as well for John.
And I believe the first one is the one Gary Barlow wrote for John.
