Beyoncé, Cee Lo Green, Michael Jackson and the Shocking Composers Behind Their Biggest Songs

“Umbrella” by Rihanna

Written by Terius Youngdell Nash, aka The Dream. I guess ol dude had to have artistic skills with a name like that. And does he. This is the song that catapulted Ri Ri to stardom and lasting chart dominance. The Dream’s musical portfolio is thick with hits for Justin Bieber (“Baby”) and the song that men probably don’t want to hear ever again, “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” sung by the mother of Blue Ivy Carter. You might have heard of her.
