And now for something completely different.

Anybody here subscribe to the online version of the Oxford English Dictionary?

I am curious to know if they have an etymology for "singer-songwriter".

There is an interesting discussion of the term in Wikipedia that briefly alludes to the use of the term pejoratively but gives no details.

I think I remember a time when singer-songwriter was value-neutral.
