I OP'd a thread 3 years ago called Forgotten Writers of Well-Remembered Songs, which attracted several posts like the following, which bear on topic of this thread.

While I can't think of the names of any specific composers for this thread (which is kinda the point), one of my pet peeves is that on the Internet, the name of a recording artist is often given with the lyrics of a song instead of the song composer's name. That leads some people to believe that the vocalist named is the actual composer of that song.

I have refreshed the thread, as it covered some of same ground as this one as above example will show.
