RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: don't forget Bill!

The Stones always wanted to be like Lennon/McCartney always giving writing credits (royalties/money) to only Jagger/Richards...

But Lennon/McCartney weren't that way at all! They not only gave George Harrison credit for the songs he wrote, they encouraged him to write his own songs and always saved him a spot or 3 on their LPs for his songs. Had Ringo been a songwriter, he would have been welcomed to write, too. I can't recall the song at the moment, but one of the songs Ringo sang the lead on he was given co-writing credit for yet he had nothing at all to do with writing the tune.

But with that noted, getting back to Jagger/Richards and their being totally unfair to Jones and Taylor, well, what about Bill Wyman? Bill was an actual songwriter, unlike Jones and Taylor who mainly only wrote music. Only 2 of his songs were ever used in the band. Had he been given the chance like the kind Harrison was given in the Beatles, I believe he would have shinned as much as Harrison did. Then it should be noted that Ronnie also wasn't given a fair deal early on either. Before he was even a member there was his solo song, IORR, that Jagger/Richards pretty much stole from him, what they gave him in return for his solo LP in exchange for the tune was nothing but a throwaway song.
