By that standard, Sinatra and Elvis never recorded any albums at all. Songwriting is one of a great many things that Paul McCartney does that contribute to his albums being with they are, for better or for worse. How you do a song can utterly transform it (should you doubt that, just listen to William Shatner's version of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds!). RDR is a remarkable artistic achievement.

I have to admit, I also tend to dismiss Run Devil Run when it comes to a '"real album" because of the covers, as with Give My Regards to Broadstreet as that is mostly re-makes..... but you've got a very good point..... The great Elvis essentially wouldn't have a career if it was all judged on songwriting. Had one writing credit, from recollection, for Love Me Tender. And I am tipping he probably didn't have a lot to do with it... So, it's not all just about the songwriting.

I'm pretty sure Elvis is listed as co-writer on All Shook Up, but I have no clue what he contributed to either tune.

Even when I googled it I got different responses. Apparently the writers of Don't Be Cruel gave up a song writing credit to Elvis. Pretty much to ensure they got exposure.... and coughed up royalties. According to flimsy sources, Elvis has 11 writing credits. Most of them dubious, I would imagine. But your point is not lost. Elvis' (and others) brilliant output should not be diminished because he (they) were not the songwriter. Reckon we could safely say Elvis wasn't a song writer. But, boy, the greatest individual performer of all time. That being said, one of my favourite listening albums of Paul is Wings Over America. But I don't include Live Albums in my list either.
