you can rule out Dave Clark, he never wrote a lyric in his life. He owned the band the "Dave Clark Five",he employed the other four guys and paid them a weekly wage. As such they were contacted to write songs and he was always credited as co-writer even though he never wrote a word. As for the songs such as "Because" and "Anyway you want it" which are solely credited to "Dave Clark" he actually bought them from songwriter Ron Ryan and put his name to them!
Before anyone says "What about Time the Musical" ? Well he bought that too, it wasn't his idea or his music as he claims.
