Probably too much thread drift, but many songwriters don't get as much credit as they deserve. Google lyrics and you'll often find no mention of the composer.

1 - First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack
2 - My Way by Frank Sinatra
3 - Bobby McGee by Janis Joplin
4 - Cover Of The Rolling Stone by Dr. Hook
5 - The Unicorn by The Irish Rovers
6 - A Boy Named Sue by Johnny Cash
7 - Queen Of The Silver Dollar by Emmylou Harris
8 - Marie Laveau by Bobby Bare
9 - Put Another Log On The Fire by Tompall Glaser
10- One's On The Way by Loretta Lynn

Granted, these people did cover the songs, and some made them famous, but the composers were:

1 - Ewan McColl
2 - Paul Anka
3 - Kris Kristofferson
4 - Shel Silverstein
5 - Shel Silverstein
6 - Shel Silverstein
7 - Shel Silverstein
8 - Shel Silverstein
9 - Shel Silverstein
10- Shel Silverstein

I almost forgot
11- Snake by Oscar Brown Jr.
