    Gerry Goffin (1939 - 2014), one-time partner of Carole King has died at age 75.

    Together, they wrote some great songs....

    Few, if any, have written so many quality songs in so many styles.

    Until Lennon/McCartney came along Goffin/King along with Bacharach/David were my favourite composers/song writers and a lot of my early music years were taken up listening to their stuff. RIP Gerry you leave a rich legacy of songs written with Carol I enjoyed them all.
