... i'm always amazed that most people seem to give more weight to
songwriters than singers, because as far as i can tell, great singing is the
rarer skill. anyone can write a song. really.... >>>>
I TOTALLY disagree. Maybe lots and lots of people can write a song... and
maybe a good percentage of all the songwriters in the world may have one or
two good songs in them. But lots and lots of people can sing.
Of all the multitudes of songwriters, only a select number are really good
consistent songwriters -- and of all the multitudes of singers, only a
select number are really good singers. In my opinion, excellent songwriters
are harder to come by than excellent singers.
