"About Guns N' Roses - Wichita Lineman: It was written by Jimmy Webb and first recorded by Glen Campbell. Webb himself recorded it later. I think the original version of a song is the one by the artist who first recorded it, not by the one who wrote it (who may have recorded it later or never recorded it)."
Actually, if the writer recorded it (event at a later point) then it gets attributed to them. cheerio
