Boyce and Hart were (maybe still are) professional songwriters, who
wrote many of the Monkees best known songs, including "Stepping
Stone".  However, Boyce and Hart didn't write exclusively for the
Monkees; and I have been told that "Stepping Stone" was originally
done by someone else.  Who this might be, however, I have no idea, and
for the purpose of the covers list, the Monkees is probably as 
accurate as you need to be.

And I suggest you don't knee-jerk too hard about the Monkees.  Image
aside, they did a whole lot of damn good songs which stand up very
well against a lot of more-highly-regarded contemporaries.  The
recent 25-song compilation is a good place to start.
