Blowin' In The Wind, Traditional?

[edit]

If in case the melody of "Blowin' In The Wind" is based on "No More Auction Block", shouldn't the written-by-section say "Traditional, Bob Dylan" instead of just mentioning Bob Dylan? Best regards, --31.19.210.181 (talk) 09:38, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't just "Blowin' in the Wind". You can go through this album song by song and discover that nearly every song derives its music or much of its lyric or both from a pre-existing song, and "Blowin' in the Wind" is far from the most flagrant example. The article's songwriting credits reflect the album's credits, it would seem, and Zimmerman throughout his career (as well as long before his career began) was an habitual plagiarist. Just because the album cites "Dylan" as sole author, however, it doesn't seem to me that the Wikipedia article should have to also, which is to say that I agree with you.
