Music connection quiz

What links the following artists?

Queens of the Stone Age
Steve Miller Band
Mark Wynter
Mary Hopkin
Cole Porter
David Bowie
Train
Stevie Wonder
John Browne
Jimi Hendrix
Don Partridge

I reckon this might be one of the hardest trivia quizzes I've ever set. If you find one or two things they've got in common you ought to be able to work out the rest.

Extra points for naming the song involved!

Thanks for trying, Helen.

No, it's not drums.

Think of a song each artist has written.
