I'd take 'Stay' over most of the top 40 stuff from the sixties too.

Absolutely gorgeous song.
And there's more to art than the aspect of creation. It's performance. Singers can have voices that evoke emotions in people. Actors can interpret other people's writing and make it more human. I think both can be referred to as 'artists' because they take what others have created and embody it in a different way.
