Absolutely, I agree with you Molly. There are so many famous songs that not many know that she wrote, or co-wrote. Here's one that also appeared on her Tapestry album which came out at one of the memorable times of my life. I loved it.

 
I don't know how many Del Shannon fans are out there, but Del was an underrated song writer, guitarist and singer. He wrote and produced records with Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne. Del died of a self inflicted gunshot wound in 1990. Most of what you read will state that he committed suicide due to his depression and the fact that he was taking Prozac at the time. I would rather believe the story of his long time friend (his name escapes me at the moment) that Del did not commit suicide, but the gunshot was by accident. He (Del's friend) wrote in his journal that Del like to fool around with guns.

Here is a YouTube video of his 1989 concert from Sidney:
