These men also wrote Flying Without Wings.

Ascap.com lists two writers for YTFLM, and these are JBJ & RS. BMI doesn't list the song at all, so not a case of credit split across publishers. I know they're listed on Wikipedia, but that's Wikipedia.
I'm not sure if you got insider info, or are insinuating that "but these sound so close, they should have gotten a co-write!", but officially, no, they did not.
