Well obviously.

Why had I never heard of this guy? Amazing.

He played the Academy last year and was a bit shit apparently according to a bloke I worked with at the time.

I'd never heard of him either.

Great documentary about him. Watched it on BBC iplayer today.

I just watched sky arts. paul mccartney's kisses on the bottom an album and concert of old standards the like of dean martin and frank sinatra sang, he had clapton and some famous bird i forget her name already, now as a Beatles fanatic i have to say , what a load of SHIT!!!!! these songs that they were orgasming about were shit.

Who are the greatest song writers The Beatles or The Bee Gees? They have them in that order but i'm not sure which of the two which would be your choice?

Lennon & McCartney - No contest.

Just watching "The Carole King Story" on Beeb4 and never realised what an influential character she was.

Always dismissed her previously - my bad, as the kids say nowadays.

She wrote some decent songs.....

It's too late is a classic:



But that was back in the day when singer/songwriters were cherished and promoted, as opposed to the "marketable acts" we have now, who have no inherent talent and sing whatever they're told to just so the likes of Simon Cowell can make even more cash.....

And she's now an environmental activist......which is a great.

Nice one, Carole.

Would you get this on Alan Carr - Chatty Man......?

He began writing Homeward Bound on Widnes railway station if I'm not mistaken. As for Carole King,she rather passed me by at the time,I was far more into Joni Mitchell. Love Tori amos too.

Speaking of Joni....

There's been some stuff on recently about Singer Songwriters on BBC4. There was one Friday before last about Jimmy Taylor and Carole King and the Troubador Club in LA, great stuff. Jackson Browne, Joni, Eagles and David Crosby were all interviewed, good watch.

Lennon and McCartney had a mention a couple of posts ago but the big brit songwriter for me was Ray Davies. Much preferred the Kinks to the Mopheads to be honest.
