Gerry Goffin

Gerald Goffin (February 11, 1939 – June 19, 2014) was an American lyricist known for collaborating with his first wife, Carole King, co-writing numerous international pop hits in the 1960s. Goffin's talent lay in crafting lyrics that resonated with the feelings and experiences of young people. His post-divorce career included successful partnerships with composers like Barry Goldberg and Michael Masser, contributing to classic songs such as 'Theme from Mahogany' and 'Saving All My Love for You.' Goffin's remarkable track record includes over 114 Billboard Hot 100 hits and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
