Actually, "Various", "Standard" and "Traditional" are basically the same act. As people came and left the group, the name changed. Sometimes, it was even changed back to a prior name!

Because of their diverse and unique talents and their unlimited ability to excel in any genre, they have become the longest running act in show business history, dating back to pre-civil war times!

And please note that Stephen Foster's compositions help to foster the public's awareness of the act. And with their ever expanding repertoire, they continue to win new fans with every passing year!

Since Doc pomus wrote many iconic songs, even for Presley, I would have to mention him. Howsa bout Lieber and Stoller?

I would have to guess that Doc Pomus(Jerome Felder)/Shuman along with Lieber/Stoller were two of the most prolific composers (composing teams) in the early history of "Rock & Roll". Both teams worked in the famous Brill Bldg. But they were far from alone in being prolific. Another "Brill" team was Bacharach and David who collaborated on their first hit in 1957- The Story of My Life. It was a country tune for Marty Robbins.


And there/have been many very prolific country composers as well, including Willie Nelson.
