When did it get to be such a big deal to write your own music? Gigwise @gigwise 29m29 minutes ago The big stars who didn't write their own songs www.gigwise.com/photos/79909/the-big-stars-who-didnt-write-their-own-songs … Here are some named: Elvis, Diana Ross, Frank Sinatra, Elton John(all the piano work is his but he has a professional lyric partner), Whitney Huston, and lMarvin Gaye. It is really because of US Copyright Law and royalties. Mechanical Royalties go to the composer -- started with Piano Rolls and is applied to any mechanical way of transmitting music -- like CDs. Partly blame Col. Parker (Elvis' Manager) who got Elvis songwriting credit even for songs Elvis did not write to increase Elvis' and the Colonel's royalties. Then the combined effect of The Beatles + Bob Dylan + many other 60's artists meant that singer-songwriter = credibility.

LOL! I would rather hear a mild comment about facial hair than the botox conversation or being told endless times how he is not as big as Katy, Taylor or fill in the blank star, tho, no one said he was. I guess everyone has something they are tired or reading about. He is still very handsome and I don't get tired of hearing that or being reminded to play WTTS. in my eyes he is the most handsome man I've ever seen....fact... I have met Adam two times: in Helsinki 2013 and in Vienna 2016. When I was waiting for my photo op turn in Vienna I tried to calm down because I knew he would be so gorgeous and I would be blown away! But it's not possible to be ready for His Gorgiousness I can't find the words And yes, he is the most handsome man I've ever seen!
