Of course you would. In music it\u2019s no different.<\/p>\n<p>The point is, whether for educational purposes or for your enjoyment, you should take some time and appreciate the best of the best. In this post, we will take a look back at 12 of the greatest songwriters of all time (in no particular order).<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Joni Mitchell<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aCnf46boC3I\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Hailing from Fort Macleod in rural Alberta, Joni Mitchell is noted as one of founding mothers of the folk movement in the 60s. Mitchell got her start busking on the streets in Toronto, testing out material. Joni Mitchell\u2019s knact for songwriting became apparent when artists began covering her songs early on in her career, including the tracks &#8220;Urge for Going&#8221;, &#8220;Chelsea Morning&#8221;, &#8220;Both Sides, Now&#8221; and &#8220;The Circle Game&#8221;. It wasn\u2019t until then Mitchell was able to sign her first record deal, releasing her debut album shortly after in 1968. That debut, Song To A Seagull featured tracks &#8220;Big Yellow Taxi&#8221; and &#8220;Woodstock&#8221; which paved the way to her success and solidified her as one of the most influential songwriters of all time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Bob Dylan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e7qQ6_RV4VQ?showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019d be hard-pressed to find a list of greatest musicians of all-time without including the folk icon that is Bob Dylan. This Jewish-American born born Robert Allen Zimmerman got his start in the early 60s writing bluesy, folk and country songs with his guitar. He quickly found success after meeting legendary talent scout John Hammond who says he signed Dylan on the spot to Columbia after meeting him for the first time. Dylan\u2019s unique voice and approach to songwriting that touches on politics and social issues quickly made him an international star, writing some of the most critically and publicly acclaimed songs of all time including \u201cMr Tambourine Man\u201d, \u201cLike A Rolling Stone\u201d, \u201cTimes Are A Changing\u201d and some of the most covered including \u201cAll Along The Watchtower\u201d and \u201cIt Ain\u2019t Me Babe\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. John Lennon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VOgFZfRVaww?showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>English-born John Lennon is one of the most famous and influential songwriters of in rock history. One-fourth of the beatles, Lennon wrote some of the most beloved songs with bandmate Paul McCartney as part of their legendary songwriting partnership including \u201cLove Me Do\u201d, \u201cStrawberry Feilds\u201d, \u201cHey Jude\u201d and many more. Lennon went on to write as a solo artist, collaborating with his wife Yoko Ono, later writing one of the most celebrated peace songs of all-time \u201cImagine\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Leonard Cohen<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pekuZglq-Sg?showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Born in Montreal, Quebec, Leonard Cohen was an artist by many trades. Artist, poet, novelist and songwriter, Cohen explored every facet of the human condition: religion, politics, sexuality and relationships. Never shying away from the dark side of life, Cohen rose to popularity in the 60s with his debut album Songs of Leonard Cohen, and was writing some of the most thought-provoking music up until his death in late 2016. While his catalouge is extensive, Cohen is most notably remembered for his 1984 song \u201cHallelujah\u201d, a song that has been covered by over 200 artists in its time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. David Bowie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Tgcc5V9Hu3g?showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>David Bowie, born David Robert Jones was one of the greatest figures in pop music spanning over fifty years. Hailed the \u2018pop chameleon\u2019, Bowie was known for the various iterations of his character including Ziggy Stardust. He had many hits in his time including \u201cSpace Oddity\u201d, \u201cLet\u2019s Dance\u201d, \u201cUnder Pressure\u201d and \u201cYoung Americans\u201d, amassing in over 140 million record sales worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>SEE ALSO:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/how-to-mix-vocals-like-a-pro\/\">How To Mix Vocals Like A Pro<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/home-studio-on-a-budget\/\">Home Studio On A Budget<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>6.

His meticulous approach to songwriting lead the group away from the \u201cCalifornia Sound\u201d they popularized in the 60s, moving towars his genius record Pet Sounds. The intricate mix of pop elements and barbershop quartet harmonies with exotic instruments was nothing anyone had ever heard before.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Chuck Berry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RoDPPgWbfXY?showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Chuck Berry was an absolute hit making machine. This rock and roll legend began in the 1950s with the smash single &#8220;Johnny B. Goode,&#8221; going on to write infamous songs such as \u201cMy Ding-A-Ling\u201d, \u201cRoll Over Beethoven\u201d and \u201cYou Can Never Tell\u201d. The list goes on. Berry passed away in 2017 at age 90, leaving a rock and roll legacy behind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Paul McCartney<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A_MjCqQoLLA?showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The other half of the Lennon-McCartney songwriting duo, Paul McCartney was, &#8212; and continues to be one of the most influential songwriters of all time. After departing from the Beatles in 1970, McCartney went solo and formed The Wings. He continued to write hits long after Beatlemania with \u201cBand on the Run\u201d and \u201cLive and Let Die\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Carole King<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UofYl3dataU?showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>One of the most celebrated singer of all time, Carole King first found success at the young age of 17 writing \u201cWill You Love Me Tomorrow\u201d. Her and then-husband Gerry Goffin wrote a number of hits for the Shirelles, including \u201cThe Loco-Motion\u201d, \u201cJust Once In My Life\u201d and many more. King has had hundreds of hits throughout the years, in part due to artists covering her songs, the most notable example of which was \u201cJust Once In My Life\u201d by Aretha Franklin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Neil Young<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Eh44QPT1mPE?showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Known for hits \u201cOld Man\u201d and \u201cHeart Of Gold\u201d, there are few artists more recognizable than Toronto-born folk artist Neil Young. After embarking on a music career in the &#8217;60s, Young formed Buffalo Springfield alongside Stephen Stills, Richie Furay, and others. By the time he had joined Crosby, Stills &amp; Nash in 1969, he had released two solo albums with his backing band, Crazy Horse, and three albums as a member of Buffalo Springfield. Young&#8217;s varied musical endeavors over the course of a long career have earned him a position amongst songwriting&#8217;s best.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11. Stevie Wonder<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0CFuCYNx-1g\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"Stevie Wonder Superstition\" title=\"Play video &quot;Stevie Wonder Superstition&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0CFuCYNx-1g<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0CFuCYNx-1g\" title=\"Stevie Wonder Superstition\">Stevie Wonder Superstition (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0CFuCYNx-1g)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Stevie Wonder is one of the most critically and commercially successful artists of the 20th century. A child prodigy, Wonder signed his first record deal at the age of 11&#8211;an unbelievably early start to a career that has earned him 25 Grammy Awards to date. Wonder is one of the most-awarded male solo artists of all time, and he is additionally one of the top 60 best-selling artists in history. Undeniably, Stevie Wonder is a songwriting legend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>12. Robert Johnson\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CRnzBm1wNFo<\/p>\n<p>Robert Johnson is one of the most iconic blues musicians of the early 20th century. His past was not well documented, ultimately giving rise to the myth that he sold his soul to the devil at a Mississippi crossroads. The veracity of these claims is debatable, of course, but his landmark recordings in 1936 and 1937 cemented his legacy and influenced generations of songwriters to come. Sadly, Johnson was murdered in 1938 at the age of 27. Though there are multiple accounts of his passing, he is thought to have died after drinking from a poisoned whiskey bottle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you\u2019re at the start of your music career or already have a catalogue of music under your belt, music appreciation should always be a part of your day.
