    		Apparently it was a group of Syrians some 3,400 years ago (according to youtube, at least)

    		Actually, the song "I Write the Songs" was written not by Barry Manilow but by Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys (and originally recorded by former Beach Boy Daryl Dragon and his wife, also known as The Captain and Tennille).

    So I guess Bruce Johnston wrote the very first song. And I didn't know he was either Syrian or that old, either.
