credit (for royalties), the publisher (usually owned by the singer!) gets
25%, and the real composer gets the remaining 25%.
My math was incorrect there. After thinking about it, my past personal
experience in these matters has been: well-known singer = 25%,
(normally)his own publishing company = 25%, composer = 25%, and words =25%.
