yes, definitely.

so either:

1. she was the best at the start of her career, and somehow drifted off later , forgot all the chords and arrangements and could never repeat it (there are many entertainers like that), or
2. her early / pre-FM songs were heavily worked on by Lindsey so you can't know where he begins and she ends - and she did not want to let him get away with doing whatever he wanted with her songs after they broke up.
