Seven Songs, except, “Will you love me tomorrow”, were written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil..”Will you love me tomorrow” was written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin and was recorded by Smokey.
Bossa Nova was recorded by Eydie Gorme. On Broadway and Saturday Night were recorded by The Drifters, Lovin’ Feelin’ by the Righteuos Bros, Kicks, Paul Revere and his raiders,
Uptown, by the Crystals, and We Gotta Get Outta this place , The Animals. You could add “walking in the rain’ by the Ronettes or ” Soul and Inspiration”, again by the Righteous Bros, to the 7 songs…The list goes on…I had the great pleasure and honor of meeting Cynthia and Barry, and working with Barry in the mid 70’s. It was a highpoint for me. Even then, they were legendary. They wrote some of my favorite songs. Favorites evenb before I knew them. Great people…
Hey Curtis,
Wow! You completely nailed the question! And, might I addd you are the only one to do so! And thanx yet again for another great personal experience! I’ve asked you this question many times, but, is there anybody you haven’t worked with? Lastly, as comprehensive your answer is, we’re only scratching the surface of their incredible body of work!
Thanx again Curtis for always bringing something great to SMS!
Cheers buddy!

I think I know the answer, and I can argue that all eight belong on the list!
Oh, mann… “I should not have said that! I should not have said that” – Hagrid from HP and the the Sorcerer’s Stone…

2 One Fine Day
3. Eydie Gorme, Paul Revere & Raiders, Drifters, Drifters, Crystals, Animals, Shirells, Righteous Bros and my extra Chiffons.
