Paul Simon is the "Simon" in Simon and Garfunkel.

I find it hard to believe you've never heard of Stevie, Lionel, or Smokey unless you're a zoomer. It's always sad to see the legitimately good (usually 70s/80s) black artists on the same lists as shit Jay-Z. Only took a couple decades for the new "executives" to turn it into nothing but crime and degeneracy. I don't know that I'd call them great songwriters though. Some iconic hits for sure but it's not as if "All Night Long" is lyrically complex.

Willie's such a prolific songwriter he should on his own list.

Poser or retard, pick one.

You've never heard of Carole King? Paul Simon as in Simon & Garfunkel? Smokey Robinson of the Miracles, and one of the most influential Motown musicians ever? Lionel Richie? Nile Rodgers, also of Motown fame? Absolutely no way you don't know who Stevie Wonder is unless you didn't see him (kek). Ditto Dolly Parton and her dittos.

You don't know who Dolly Parton is? She wrote most of her huge number of tits. I mean Hits! 😆 Huge hits!
Don't know Stevie Wonder? Wait is he still alive? Carol King may be less well known, but lots of acts covered her songs with better success/fame.

Anyhow: Dolly Parton's Tits, the song (PG) 1982
