Goffin and King, What a team. RIP Gerry.
He and Carole King created such amazing music...her voice made the songs for me.

(And if he was 75,can that really mean Carole is 72? It can't be...:-( )
It's true!

What...even after reading my link K ?
I'd never heard of him before this morning.

Very famous half of a very famous songwriting team K.
Ken Bruce just played a medley of his songs. Afraid I didn't know his name but his music was the sound of my youth too mikey. Goffin and King must have been a formidable team.
I've seen that link before...fantastic!
Loved Carole King in my youth. Gorgeous voice. RIP, Gerry.
So sad - purveyor of life's soundtracks to the Baby Boomers, of which am one.
Tapestry....A good album for getting a woman in the mood;-)

A Great Talent.
before your time, Koromovaracun, but Goffin and King were one of numerous madly successful teams of songwriters working out the Brill Building in New York, mostly in the late 50s and early 60s. King later became a singer on her own.

A great songwriter - "They don't write them like that any more".

RIP Gerry.
