I'm going with Burt Bacharach. Cheesy? Perhaps, but the dude's songs have been recorded by more than 1,000 different artists. He has written 73 US and 52 UK Top 40 hits.

@Funlov I'm not sure it's a debate. Elton is an amazing musician and songwriter. But I am still going with Bacharach based on number of musicians and genres he crossed. IMHO I believe his music has had more airplay and been heard by more people that Elton. No disrespect to E J for his accomplishments.

Vin53 · M

I'd bet you'd be wrong about the airplay difference.

TrashCat · M

@Vin53 I don't know. There have been literally over 1k artists who recorded his songs. I think it's damn close

Vin53 · M

Ok. I'll buy you a beer if I'm wrong.
