    Sorry to hear. The Goffin/King songs on The Notorious Byrd Brothers are some of my favorites. Rest in peace.

    Indeed. The Goffin/King songwriting combination produced so many hit songs, many of which keep on getting covered. Along with Lieber/Stoller, Mann/Weil and Bacharach, you could almost say they wrote the early 1960's.

    A great song writer (lyricist). Thanks Gerry.

    Does it matter that this waste of time is what makes a life for you?

    Such a wealth of songs from several time periods. I can't imagine how many times I've seen 'Goffin/King' on album liner notes...
