Very few performers consistently produce really good music / songs. Probably the greatest composer ever, Irving Berlin, who wrote so many songs that his publishing company didn't even get all of them. Apparently he left more than 300 unpublished songs when he died. But Berlin didn't perform a lot of his own songs, mostly others did, and some of his songs are so good that even 50, 60, 70 years after he wrote them they still get sung, performed or recorded. The group "Taco" did a remake in the 1980s of Berlin's song "Puttin' on the Ritz," which was written over 50 years earlier, as most of the references were when the song was written, during the depression.
But there's at least one recent singer-songwriter, who I have found has, as far as I know, never made a bad recording; I like all of her songs. I am talking about Anita Baker, singer of "Body and Soul," "Caught Up in the Rapture with you," "Giving You the Best That I've Got," "I Apologize". "Same Ole Love," and "Sweet Love". I personally can't think of any of her songs I didn't like.
And I'm sure there are others, too.
