"Tonight you're mine … completely." This wasn't the very first song Gerry Goffin and Carole King wrote together but, with its subtly shocking opening line, it was their first hit (a US No 1 and UK No 3) and set the tone for their signature songwriting style. King's mostly perky upbeat melodies would be countered by Goffin's lyrics of brief joy temp...
Pure escape. It feels so natural, so close to its subject matter, that it doesn't feel like it was written at all. Goffin and King wrote their songs cooped up in a cubicle at a huge publishing house at 1650 Broadway in New York, and this song was surely as autobiographical as the ones about their break-up (Just Once in My Life, Road to Nowhere).

Goffin and King had already written two major hits for the Cookies – the masochistic Chains (covered by the Beatles), and their gum-chewing, catty Don't Say Nothin' Bad About My Baby ("you better shut your mouth!").

Goffin and King provided the Monkees with several classics: suburban melodrama Pleasant Valley Sunday, the trippy Porpoise Song, and this overlooked song from their second ...
Jerry Wexler came up with the two-word title – all Gerry Goffin had to do was write the rest of the lyric. A song about sexual and spiritual satisfaction written from the female perspective ("I just wanna be close to you, you make me feel so alive"), this was very much a grown-up version of Will You Love Me Tomorrow. Underpinning Goffin's lyric, Ca...
Collaborating initially with his first wife, Carole King, he co-wrote many international pop hits of the early and mid-1960s, including the US No.1 hits "Will You Love Me Tomorrow", "Take Good Care of My Baby", "The Loco-Motion", and "Go Away Little Girl".
