Do you mind if singers don't write their own songs?

No, we would not have Elvis if that was the case. The Beatles revolutionized it and many other on both sides of the pond only started writing their own material in the early to mid 1960s'.I prefer the musical talent be more rounded and they produce a majority of their own, however if the talent of legitimately playing an instrument or simply singing is good enough then it is good enough for me.
