    No shockers here. But did “Floetry” write butterflies or did Marsha write it alone?

    How could they forget “Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera was written by Linda Perry of 4 Non Blondes? Linda Perry wrote a ton of stuff for Christina and Pink.

    LOVE this post. I’m always super impressed, like you, when I find out that great vocalists are also great songwriters – especially when it’s a song that makes me go “REALLY?!” with a smile. Beyond the groove factor, two words come to mind: KA-CHING :D … especially when said song(s) is a hit. Can you say Neyo anyone?
