We Lost One of the Musical Greats Yesterday...

[ironpeddler]

Gerry Goffin passed away yesterday. While most of you may not know his name, you'll surely remember almost all the hits he wrote...and for so many different performers. He wrote a good many with his then wife, Carole King. The list is incredible...Godspeed Gerry.

The melodies, if not most of the lyrics, of all his top forty hits are ingrained, indelibly, in my mind. RIP.

I didn't know he wrote "You've got a Friend"

Here's a link to the upcoming documentry movie about the Brill building and Sound, where Goffin, King and others did their magic.  ttp://www.bluecanyonproductions.com/brill.html. Scroll down a bit to look at the list of hits that came out of that place.
