"Pleasant Valley Sunday" is a song by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, most famous for the version recorded by The Monkees in 1967.
 Goffin's and King's inspiration for the name was a street named Pleasant Valley Way, in West Orange, New Jersey where they were living at the time.
 The road follows a valley through several communities among the Watchung Mountains.
 The lyrics were a social commentary on status symbols, creature comforts, life in suburbia and "keeping up with the Joneses".
 The song has been regarded by many as an understated comment on consumerism while maintaining a relentlessly driving pop beat.
 It became one of the Monkees' most successful singles.
"He Hit Me (And It Felt Like a Kiss)" is a song written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King for girl group the Crystals under the guidance of Phil Spector in 1962.
 Goffin and King wrote the song after discovering that their babysitter and singer Little Eva was being regularly beaten by her boyfriend.
 When they inquired why she tolerated such treatment, Eva replied, with complete sincerity, that her boyfriend's actions were motivated by his love for her.
This is a list of songs co-written by Gerry Goffin.
 Goffin (1939–2014) was an American lyricist, who formed a successful songwriting partnership with his wife, Carole King.
 Their first success was "Will You Love Me Tomorrow", recorded by the Shirelles and a hit in 1961.
 Goffin later wrote lyrics for songs with several other composers, most notably Michael Masser.
"A Forever Kind of Love" is a song written by Gerry Goffin and Jack Keller and recorded by Bobby Vee.
 Bobby recorded 2 different versions of the song, the first at Abbey Rd in the UK in February 1962 with backing vocals by the Mike Sammes Singers.
 That version was produced by Snuff Garrett and arranged by Norrie Paramor and released as a single only in the UK and Australia.
 It reached #13 in the United Kingdom in 1962.
 On return to the US, Vee recorded another version of the song on March 27, 1962 at the same session as "Sharing You" at United Recording Studios in LA.
 It was produced by Snuff Garrett and arranged by Ernie Freeman, however the new recording lacked the sparkle of the earlier UK version and was issued only on his 1962 album, "A Bobby Vee Recording Session".
The Myddle Class was an American garage rock band from Berkeley Heights, New Jersey who were active in the 1960s.
 Signed to Tomorrow Records which was owned by songwriters Gerry Goffin and Carole King, they were one of the most popular live acts in the New Jersey/New York region during the 1960s and released several singles, enjoying hits in various local markets such as in Albany.
 In the late 1960s band members became involved in college and other musical projects.
 Band member Charles Larkey, who joined the Fugs in late 1967, later married Carole King, following her divorce from Goffin, and played bass on some of her recordings in the 1970s.
 The Myddle Class intended to record an album in 1969, but was thwarted due to the unexpected murder of guitarist Rick Philp.
 The band broke up shortly thereafter.
 Singer Dave Palmer later joined Steely Dan in the 1970s and sang on Carole King's hit "Jazzman".
"Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You" is a song written by composers Michael Masser and Gerry Goffin.
 It was originally recorded in 1984 by American singer and guitarist George Benson, and released in 1985 on his studio album "20/20", by Warner Bros.
 Records.
 This original version was produced by its own author Michael Masser, and was released as a single only in Germany in 1985.
 The song was not released as a single in the United States, but nevertheless, Benson recorded two video clips in the U.S. the same year, which were displayed on television programs.
 Two years later, the song became even more well known for a re-recording by Hawaiian singer Glenn Medeiros, whose 1987 cover eventually topped the charts in several countries.
Carole King (born Carol Joan Klein, February 9, 1942) is an American composer and singer-songwriter.
 She is the most successful female songwriter of the latter half of the 20th century in the USA, having written or co-written 118 pop hits on the "Billboard" Hot 100 between 1955 and 1999.
 King also wrote 61 hits that charted in the UK, making her the most successful female songwriter on the UK singles charts between 1952 and 2005.
Let's Turkey Trot is a popular song written by Gerry Goffin and Jack Keller.
 Some sources, including the original 45 LP have incorrectly credited the music to Carole King (King was Goffin's wife and usual songwriting partner but had no hand in this song).
 It was recorded by Little Eva and was released as her third single for the Dimension label.
 The Little Eva's recording debuted on the charts on February 2, 1963, and peaked at #20 on the Hot 100.
 It was her third top 40 record.
 The record features girl group The Cookies on background vocals, with the Cookies' lead Earl-Jean McCrea getting some solo lines.
 The song's title is a reference to the turkey trot dance step, a step that was only briefly popular fifty years before the song was released; the song is played at a tempo much slower than the one used for the dance in its heyday.
So Much Love is a song written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King.
 It was first recorded by Ben E King in 1966.
 In 1967 it was covered by The Hour Glass and in 1969 by Dusty Springfield.
"(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" is a 1967 single released by American soul singer Aretha Franklin on the Atlantic label.
 The song was co-written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin, with input from Atlantic producer Jerry Wexler.
 The record was a big hit for Franklin, reaching number 8 on the "Billboard" Hot 100, and became a standard song for her.
 Franklin also included a live recording on the album "Aretha in Paris" in 1968.
 Versions have also been performed and recorded by King herself, Mary J. Blige, Celine Dion, and many others.
 At the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, Aretha Franklin performed the song to honor award-recipient Carole King.
