hmmm. In part.
Yes, the songs came first, and they are both acclaimed producers with an impressive list of contributions over a wide variety of artists (nick decaro is favorite of mine).
I also think timing played a large part, that whole folk/rock sound that became popular in the seventies fit with Gord's sound (hand in glove, so to speak).
While I think they (Waronker and DeCaro) played a large part in the success of those albums, I can't say I attribute the highlight of his career solely to them.

And yes, 'they made 'em sound sweet'.
