Interesting. I wonder if there's anything legally that prevents a songwriter from reusing music from a previously published song and creating a new song with a new name?

Not much. It’s pretty much an artist’s easiest way to use their own material. Re-record it, change it up.

You are assuming John wrote the music for that record.

I'm assuming that Huff wrote the music and John wrote the lyrics, based on CD liner notes, but I could be wrong.

Depends on the contract. The smart ones jealously hold onto the rights to their music because that's where the money is. Steve Perry continues to earn millions a year from residuals for songs he wrote decades ago for Journey.
