Thanks, Dan! Yeah, just an unbelievable legacy — and despite their prolific output, you rarely got the sense from any of their songs that they were just "phoning it in".
How I remember these songs and the music of my youth. you described it all so well and made me understand better why some of these, particularly your no. 1 and 2 favorites, were favorites of mine. thank you!
Loved your collection of songs! Thank you!
Thanks for reading, Lori! Glad you dug it!
Great stuff, Dan. I’ve always been intrigued with the prowess of the NYC big three: Goffin-King/Mann-Weil/Barry-Greenwich. Hit machines.

That Dolly Parton song gets me every time -- incredible vocals and arrangement. Pure pop perfection is right.
