Gerry Goffin, who wrote an incredible number of hits throughout the 60's with his then wife, Carole King, died yesterday at age 75. The catalog of songs that they wrote, plus some of the songs Goffin wrote with others later, is impressive, to say the least.

Very impressive list of songs. He should have been wealthy beyond belief with writing that many hit songs.

Here's the Wikipedia entry for the songs the duo wrote (usual Wiki caveat...)
