What does it matter who created the "art"? Although I like neither Milli Vanilli nor Tatu, I cannot dent that there was a pretty good producer/arranger/Svengali behind both acts.
The genius behind Tracy Chapman's breakthrough album was her producer/arranger. While her songwriting is pretty good, it is unquestionably the way the songs were arranged and recorded that made the album.
Rundgren, Spector, Don Was, Quincy Jones. Most of us have several of their CDs, but we don't even know it.
