yes ... you're right ... famous songwriter Barry Manilow didn't write any of the songs for which he's credited
Neither did Elton John.

That's why neither of them have been able to afford extensive plastic surgery and goldplated Rolls Royces

So what you're saying is that during a career spanning decades
He didn't write four of his songs, but did help compose three of them.

No thats not what I am saying

That does seem to be exactly what you have said, though
"Manilow didn't write any of his songs. Here, I name one plus three that he helped arrange."

I said he is a karaoke singer and he would admit it
I am saying that in some cases he did help the arrangement (not all) but the vast majority of his hits are covers.

That isn't what you actually said, though.
I hope this helps to clear up any confusion that you appear to be under.
