    All the great song writers were mediocre singers. I’m talkin’: John Prine, Steve Goodman, Townes Van Zandt, Leonard Cohen, Paul Simon, Neil Young, even Willie Nelson I would put in this category.

    A weird exception is Joni Mitchell. IMHO one of the best singers of all time, and an a-list writer too.
