This page features singers who are not primarily songwriters, but who interpret songs well.
Most art is about good taste. The ability of a singer to recognise good songs can be a great quality, and might be a factor which contributes to why that singer is so good.
Of course, the decision of which song to perform will not rest entirely with the singer, especially for recordings. The record company famously have some say in the matter. However the better singers will also be working with a good team, so their judgement can also be expected to be good.
Looking at the work of a great singer can be a good way to find great songs, and then the songwriters can be identified by reference to the credits with the records.
