RenoRick,
Most of the guys I listed are lesser-knowns, so I'm not too surprised you only know a couple of them. Many of them are more known for writing songs for other people than for their own recording careers. For example, Mickey Newbury wrote "An American Trilogy," which Elvis did at almost every concert, and Steve Young wrote "Seven Bridges Road," which the Eagles had a minor hit with.
