Who was the original singer of the 50's song Runaround Sue?
Dion. It was co-written by Ernie Maresca, and was a hit in 1961. Not his normal band, the Belmonts here - it was The Del Satins who backed him up. In the liner notes of Dion's box set King Of The New York Streets, he wrote: "It came about by partying in a schoolyard. We were jamming, hitting tops of boxes. I gave everyone parts like the horn parts we'd hear in the Apollo Theater and it became a jam that we kept up for 45 minutes. I came up with all kinds of stuff. But when I actually wrote the song and brought it into the studio to record it, well, her name wasn't actually Sue. It was about, you know, some girl who loved to be worshipped but as soon as you want a commitment and express your love for her, she's gone. So the song was a reaction to that kind of woman."

Who is the original singer of the song "Sweet Dreams"?
There are two songs that immediately spring to mind. One being “Sweet Dreams (are made of this)” written and recorded by The Eurythmics in 1983.Obviously the title does not match precisely.The only song I can think of with a title of just “Sweet Dreams” would be the one originally written and recorded by Don Gibson (1955).It was also recorded by Faron Young in 1956,but the seminal version is considered to be Patsy Cline’s 1963 version.It has been covered by several others since including Emmylou Harris,Reba McEntire,Tammy Wynette,and even Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Who is the original singer of the song the rose sung by bette midler?
This was written by Los Angeles singer/songwriter Amanda McBroom. Midler recorded it for the 1980 movie of the same name, which she starred in. McBroom: "A song came on the radio. It was "Magdalena" by Danny OKeefe, sung by Leo Sayer. I liked it immediately. My favorite line was, 'You're love is like a razor. My heart is just a scar.' I thought, 'Ooh, I love that lyric, but don't agree with the sentiment that love is a razor.' As I continued to drive down the road the thought came, "What, then, do I think love is." Suddenly, it was as if someone had opened a window in the top of my head. Words came pouring in. I had to keep reciting them to myself as I drove faster and faster towards home, so I wouldnt forget them. I screeched into my driveway, ran into the house, past various bewildered dogs and cats and husbands, and sat down at the piano. Ten minutes later, The Rose was there. A year or so later, a professional songwriter friend of mine said, 'Listen, there is this movie coming out called The Rose, based on the life of Janis Joplin. They are looking for a title tune. Do you want me to submit this to them? I had never really tried to submit a song to anyone. I didn't consider myself a songwriter at the time. So I said, 'Sure.' The producers hated it. They thought it was dull and not Rock And Roll and totally wrong. They put it in the reject box. But Paul Rothchild, who had been Janis Joplin's producer, and now the music supervisor on the film, hauled it out and asked them to reconsider. They again said no. So he mailed it to Bette Midler, the star of the movie. She liked it, lobbied in favor of it; and that's how it got into the film and changed my life forever."
Who is the original creator and the singer for the song "Hallelujah"?
Leonard Cohen. And he wrote about ten other verses for it which he would sometimes switch out at various concerts. He died last November. He was a very respected poet/songwriter and he sang also (tongue in cheek). He was a tenor back in the sixties but his voice dropped to a very solid bass in his final years. Go Youtube and listen to a few of his renditions. My favorite is “Jazz Police”.
