I agree. There are additional sources (lyric postings) that refer to Kay as the (only) composer. I went with the allmusic credits which include Grusin and McJohn. I have no idea who the other people are. McJohn makes sense because he is also in the band, Grusin was composing the Candy soundtrack

and was mixing in Roger McGuinn content for the rest of his score. Steppenwolf was the core of the soundtrack so composing the song certainly makes sense as well. The copyright office file would be the confirming source, but I can't find a lookup.

When you get there, use the BMI number 1261048 and you will see what he is seeing. A valid source. We have multiple conflicting valid sources. The question we need to answer is if Kay is the exclusive composer.

I get an error when I click on that link. Since this song has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works it shouldn't be too hard to find one that says who wrote it.

I don't know which is correct, but it seems wrong to say it was composed by John Kay alone, because that's not supported by either ref.

Allmusic and discogs aren't reliable sources, and since both BMI and the 45 label say it's exclusively Kay, I'm happy to go with that.
