They were. All of the songwriters I’ve featured have added so much to music, not just here but all over the world. Everyone knows the artist, not many know the songwriters unless they’re also the artist (e.g Lennon-McCartney, Jagger-Richards).

I’m surprised at the range of musical styles their ssongs have been done in. You think “Oh, they only write rock songs,” but they also wrote easy listening, country, and rhythm & blues. That’s talent.
