Free Music Notes for Goffin & King: A Gerry Goffin and Carole King Song Collection 1961-1967
Free Music Review: Nice Goffin & King compilation of mostly unknown songs
Hit: 4 Stars
Besides all the big hits this wonderful couple wrote in the early part
of the 60's and that form part of the teenage dreams we lived through
by then, they wrote a lot of other beautiful songs that never hit the
charts and whose interpreters were completely unknown. Almost 45 years
later we now know that there were singers like Richard Wylie, The
Satisfactions, Bertell Dache, Jill Jackson, Ramona King, The Honey Bees
and Dee Dee Warwick. As always is the case with ACE, the liner notes
are extensive and inform us about every detail of each song and its
interpreter. There are some real beauties that when you listen to them,
you just don't understand why this song was never a hit. The Chiffons
"The First and Last" is better than any of their biggest hits. The
completely unknown songs by famous artist such as Bobby Vee, Bobby
Rydell, The Drifters, The Crickets, The Righteous Brothers etc. make
you wonder why they never hit the TOP 100. Some of the songs of this
compilation written by Goffin & King have been produced by Phil Spector
and Jack Nitzsche. Is there anything better than this "cocktail" of
super writers and super producers?? The song by P.J. Proby is just
a sample of this explosive encounter! ACE does not only give you MUSIC
with capital letters but they also give you all the information you've
never had or read before. I can't give it 5 stars, however, because
there are some 5 songs at the end that sound like "fillers up". It would have been a wise idea to reduce this compilation to 20.
Free Music Review: Classic '60 pop
Hit: 4 Stars
Goffin and king had in the sixties a lot of hits in the charts.
If you like '60 pop classic, it's strongly recommended for you.
Free Music Review: Great
Hit: 4 Stars
It was a surprise to get Carole's old songs.
Carole is not enough, I am always expecting news from her.
Free Music Review: I wish this disc included....
Hit: 3 Stars
demos for some of these (and other) Goffin-King songs. King was well known for her demos before she became a major recording artist.Free Music Review: I expected great music
Hit: 1 Stars
I was completely disappointed with this CD. I listened to it all the way through one time and did not want to hear one song over again. I loved Carole King's albums of the '70s. I liked her earlier hit songs I heard on the radio throughout the '60s, and that's what I expected from this album, but it's not what I got.
