Holy shite...I thought you were just fricking with me...so I looked it up. The freakin Bee Gees wrote Islands in the Stream.
That is awesome
The Bee Gees had a fair amount of success over a couple of genres of music. Sadly, because they were so successful with disco music they took the fall when disco fell out of favor. No radio would play any new music they put out. So they were forced to write songs for others in the 1980s and those other performers, singing Bee Gees songs, had some big hits.

I was pretty old when I found out JJ Cale wrote Call Me the Breeze, Cocaine, and Traveling Light. I’m 30 for reference.

A remember way back when, I was surprised to find out a 16 yr old Jackson Browne wrote "These Days," which I first came to know from the Nico version..

I was a kid of the 1960s, it not until Clapton did his "unplugged CD" in the early 80s that I learned that a ton of songs done by Clapton, Led Zep, Foghat, etc. were all written by a old guy named Robert Johnson.
