It would be almost imposible to name a best songwriter because there are so many fantastic songwriters in all catagories of music. I can only say my favorites of all times have to be lennon and mccartney and pete townsend land Justin Hayward. then there is Rogers and Hammerstein who wrote songs for the classic musicals which I love and Peter Simon James Taylor and Carol King Wow I could name a million and of course the legendary lCole Porter I could go on and on with this list love tia

Hands Down...The absolute Greatest Singer & Songwriter that ever lived was the immortal Hank Williams, Sr. who wrote & sung many songs including " I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry " , " Your Cheatin' Heart " , etc. which have been re-recorded by such diverse artists as Ray Charles & have sold tens of mullions of copies since Hank's death almost 55 years ago @ the age of 29.
