SONGS THEY WROTE
When I hear a song and want to know who wrote it, I usually end up spending time searching the lyric sites, or the performer's site to come up with the songwriter's name.  However, more times than not, the lyric sites list the performer, but not the songwriter.  They will say something like "Willie Nelson Lyrics", although he may not have written the song, but was known for singing it.  Usually, I need the answer in a hurry, and don't have time to go searching.  ( and I sure hate being bombarded with a gazillion pop-up ads.)  So, I decided I would create my own list of well-known songs and the authors who wrote them.  You won't find any lyrics here.   What you will find are some of what, in my opinion, are the classics - greatest hits and some that will be  - including (but not limited to) real country, blues, jazz, big band, Old standards, 50's-60's, classic rock, folk, etc., along with the author/authors and where possible, the publishing date.  If applicable, the artist  most well-known for recording the song (other than the writer) will be in parentheses.   This list doesn't include any Willie songs, since they're all on the other page.
