Just discovered Barry White, the Lurve Walrus, wrote Doin' the Banana Split. How bizarre is that.

Mind you, I can't believe Quincy Jones penned both the supremely cool On days like these & Self preservation society for the Italian Job either, (still one of my favourite films).

Lots of well known singers were songwriters before they were recorded - Barry Manilow (aka Mary Benditoy), Neil Diamond, and others less well known.  Ever heard of a country singer called Jerry Jeff Walker?  Nope, thought not.  But he wrote Mr Tambourine Man, as well as a lot of other stuff.

Yes, but they all wrote in their own genres. Big Bazza never struck me as a Banana.

I've got a trivia quiz app on my phone (called Trivia 360 by Smart Owl Apps for those who enjoy that type of thing) and after over 8000 questions I am still getting asked new ones. Quincy Jones & the Italian Job was one of them. As it is multiple choice I only got it right because the others seemed unlikely.  I was surprised it was true too.

Sorry Biker Gran, Mr Tambourine Man was written by Robert Allen Zimmerman AKA Bob Dylan. Jerry Jeff Walker wrote Mr Bojangles.
