Most covered songwriters

John Lennon : 3 (2 solo tracks and one of The Beatles' covers)[3]
Lee Hazelwood : 3

See all posts in the Originals series over here.

I generally stuck to tracks that had received an official release, although a few stray ineligible ones slipped through. Here are a couple that didn't but could have:

Footnotes

1: Including Magic Hour

2: Including Cagney & Lacee. Not including the covers on Emancipated Hearts or Dean Wareham as both were released after I started the series.

3: Technically John Lennon also gets a credit on Cheese and Onions
