I was listening to a 70's country channel on Alexa this morning. It took me back to a lot of songs in my younger years. I just wondered how much songwriters made when they wrote a hit song. Some of the artists I've been hearing as I write this include, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. If you summed up country music in the 70's I imagine those four had their fare share of hits. Maybe a few of them were written by others but for some, they were graced also with the ability to write their own songs.
