Still "Sunday Morning" is enough to mention them.

I wouldn't say so at all. Reed (usually) wrote the lyrics and created the general idea and/or melody... whereas Cale developed them into something more interesting and unique. It's like... Reed came up with a pencil drawing and Cale turned it into a painting. So, I would say it's around 50/50 as far as the songwriting is concerned.
