no they would not You have to write the actual words to get publishing credit, esp. when the words are registered prior to the song's evolution. Plus, I LB gets paid as a producer whose job it is to produce Stevie in this context within FM. Interestingly, Stevie often credits other people in the music credits under the name of each song

Also, I do not think anyone is arguing LB is not brilliant with transforming Stevie's work. Stevie repeatedly says that and certainly I freely admit that. It is just some people are instantly and seemingly smugly dismissive of her talent and make smart remarks that boldly state or at least imply Stevie has no talent and is lucky to be in the same room as LB. I know not everyone has that smugness and Lord knows the chiffonheads are easily enraged ( ) - but it does come across that way and some of it is intentional. And that is ashame to me because I think they both brilliantly shine at what they do. AND - they both have respect for each others' talent. But, some, not all, people are ensconced in their camps so the LB v. SN fighting continues.

Whatever
