I just simplified it to songs written and performed by the same person or persons.

However, Leiber and Stoller don't seem to have performed the songs they wrote, so perhaps I have not understood either!

That's what I thought hence my entry, but now I'm totally confused. The original entry was written by a performing singer/songwriter (Joe South), but not recorded by him (to my knowledge) and the entry in this list was performed by Deep Purple.

I have such a huge collection of music, that I occasionally surprise myself. Ranges from Tamla to the Classics.

One I like particularly is Kate Bush Ariel, and it takes a confident artist to do a triple album:

But we should lighten up:

Sorry for the confusion. A couple of you got it, but most didn't. The independent songwriter is a thing of the past.

There was a long tradition of songwriters writing songs, publishers publishing them, and then various artists performing's them. It started before the Civil War with people like Stephen Foster and ran tough the 1970s. Carol King and her then husband Gerry Goffin along with Bacharach and David were the last of the bread. But it was through this tradition that songs became known as "Standards." Modern artist that relied on other's songs were 3 Dog Night, Whitney Houston, and Dionne Warwick (she covered Burt Bacharach songs.) Elvis largely sang songs written by others as did Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, etc. Glen Campbell's early hits Gentle On My Mind and Wichita Lineman were written by budding songwriters John Hartford and Jimmy Webb respectably.
Even The Turtles big hit Happy Together was written by a songwriting team. It was a different era. RIP the Brill Building.
