It may have been Roy Orbinson.\n\n"End of the Line" is a song from The Traveling Wilburys first album, Volume 1, released in 1989. It is the last entry on the album, and its riding-on-the-rails rhythm suggests its theme and the implied on-the-move nature of the group.\n\nIt was released as the second single from the album. The sleeve cover of the 45 rpm single, photographed four days after the death of Roy Orbison in December 1988, featured a guitar in a rocking chair. The same image appeared in the video for the single, with the camera focusing on the guitar during Orbison's solo vocal parts.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_Of_The_Line

Ever?? Wow that's a tough one. I'd probably have to go with Carl Orff, the composer best known for "Carmina Burana."\n\nGreatest contemporary songwriter would have to be Paul McCartney. Runner ups include Paul Simon, Sting, Pete Townshend, and Tom Petty. Of course, you can't forget older musical greats like Cole Porter, Perry Como, or Bobby Darin.

The songwriting and production credits for "Fallin'" are credited solely to Alicia Keys. However, the song is based around an uncredited interpolation of "It's a Man's, Man's, Man's World", a 1966 single by James Brown, written by Brown and Betty Jean Newsome. Keys was able to clear use of the song without being required to credit the composers of the original song. Several hip hop producers, most notable Dr. Dre and Timbaland, have done the same.

Well, with respects to the other answers, the title is actually "Rhythm of the Rain", recorded by the Cascades in '62 (reaching No. 3 in '63).\n\nListen to the rhythm of the falling rain,\nTelling me just what a fool I've been.\nI wish that it would go and let me cry in vain,\nAnd let me be alone again.\n\nNow the only girl I've ever loved has gone away.\nLooking for a brand new start!\nBut little does she know that when she left that day.\nAlong with her she took my heart.\n\nRain, please tell me, now does that seem fair\nFor her to steal my heart away when she don't care\nI can't love another, when my heart's somewhere far away.\n\nRain, won't you tell her that I love her so\nPlease ask the sun to set her heart aglow\nRain in her heart and let the love we know start to grow.
