      Greg,
      It’s true-Carole King is amazing. I remember when Tapestry was released, and I listened a million times. It was then I learned how talented and prolific she is.

    This song was written by the then husband-and-wife team of Gerry Goffin and Carole King, and the lead vocalist was Rudy Lewis. Carole King recorded a solo version of this on her 1970 album Writer .First recorded by Little Eva

      sblake,
      I didn’t realize Little Eva had recorded it first. It has always been a Drifters song to me.
