Many of the greatest songs are the product of song writing teams, where often the lyrics and the music are devised separately by different partners, such as the duo Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller who were responsible for “Jailhouse Rock”, “Hound Dog” and “Stand By Me” or the trio Holland-Dozier-Holland who wrote “Stop! In the name of love” and “Heat wave”.
Many bands have or had duos writing songs together, such as John Lennon and Paul McCartney for the Beatles, Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus for ABBA and Mick Jagger and Keith Richards for the Rolling Stones.
Artists who write and perform their own songs are called singer-songwriters, or in German-speaking territories Liedermacher, like Reinhard Mey.
Bob Dylan made this genre popular and was even awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature "for his poetic creations in service of the great American song tradition".
