	Louise Goffin: Sometimes a Circle - PopMatters Music Review
		The daughter of Carole King and Gerry Goffin, Louise Goffin's new release, her first in nearly 14 years, is the latest in an increasingly lengthening line of albums by children of famous musicians, and it had to be a daunting task to step out of the shadow of her illustrious parents.
		Goffin describes her album as "a humorous look at the absurdity of modern life," which perfectly encapsulates the theme of the record.
		Lyrically, though, Goffin is nonetheless terrific, especially on "Clicking to the Next Slide", where she scores some points singing about a found View-Master (one of the coolest toys, ever), but lyrics are only half of the song (some might argue even less), and without a melody that grabs you, you're not left with much.

		Gloriously produced by Gerry Goffin, with Carole King and Claus Ogermann handling the arrangements between them, the Cookies featuring prominently on many of the tracks and woodwind wizard Art Kaplan the star of the session players, Little Eva's "Llllloco-motion" LP was, indeed, some kind of wonderful.
		In an attempt to fatten the group's sound, Gerry Goffin had Eva join in on the unison lead vocals, as was obvious from the very first word of the song.
		That year, Goffin and King wrote excellent songs like "Oh No Not My Baby", "I Can't Hear You No More" and "They're Jealous Of Me" but, unfortunately for Eva, the powers that be at Dimension were still intent on marketing her as a singer of novelty dance tunes.

		FOR THOSE OF US who presumed that songwriter-turned-singer Gerry Goffin, now 50, had either died or disappeared from the planet, Back Room Blood (Adelphi/Genes) gives evidence of a welcome rejuvenation.
		Goffin may have conceived it, but "Imagination" is straight owned by Knight and her harmonizing cousins.)
		If this is true, Goffin, like the rest of us unforgiving bastards, sure knows how to nurse a grudge.

		After divorce from King '68 his output slowed down due to frustration with music business, also depression and ill health; while King's subsequent songs were sometimes criticized for wide-eyed optimism, Goffin's post-'60s lyrics were often pessimistic.
		His most ambitious work ('Audience For My Pain') was too intense for the pop market and might have done better in a theatrical setting, but TV was killing musical theatre without replacing it.
		Louise Goffin's album Kid Blue '79 on Asylum in USA reached no. 87.

	Rarebird's Spotlight Album Review #3: Gerry Goffin "It Ain't Exactly Entertainment"
		Her partner in that endeavor was her then-husband Gerry Goffin, from whom she was divorced by the time she found her own fame.
		After it became fashionable for musicians to write their own songs, King was able to join and stand out among the multitude of singer-songwriters, but Goffin has since achieved far less fame than his ex-wife.
		Goffin has an offbeat and somewhat boozy-sounding sense of humor, as evidenced by the first two tracks and "The Last Cha Cha on Jackson Highway".

		Gerry Goffin began writing lyrics as a boy in Queens, New York.
		Among their many other hits were "Up On the Roof" and "(You Make Me Feel Like a) Natural Woman." The arrival of the Beatles in the U.S. in 1964 led to a trend toward singers writing their own songs, one that King took advantage of in the 1970s.
		Goffin, too, turned to performing with the release of the album It Ain't Exactly Entertainment in 1973, but more often, he continued to work as a lyricist.

		Some of the rules Goffin is breaking were handed down from the Tin Pan Alley masters to her parents, revered songwriters Carole King and Gerry Goffin.
		Goffin says a special trip with her mother, however, helped her overcome her reticence and cemented her musical ambitions.
		Goffin says of the album's subsequent path: "[DreamWorks principal] Lenny Waronker, who signed me, heard the masters by coincidence and just loved them, so he wanted to meet me. I was eight-and-a-half-months pregnant - I looked like I'd swallowed a planet.

	Flak Magazine: Review of Louise Goffin's Sometimes A Circle, 04-09-02
		As the daughter of Gerry Goffin and Carole King, Louise Goffin must have some measure of help based on her bloodline in reaching the release of Sometimes A Circle, her de facto debut record after a couple of long-forgotten efforts in the early '80s.
		Still, Goffin has a lot to live up to: Her parents stand without hyperbole among the greatest popular songwriting teams of the past 50 years, alongside Bacharach-David, Lennon-McCartney and Holland-Dozier-Holland.
		In fact, just as Goffin hits her stride, vamping it up in a style familiar to fans of the semi-obscure Shivaree, Circle shifts gears, just like when albums used to have sides.

	Artists Covered by the Byrds E - G
		The Byrds recorded two of their songs on Notorious Byrd Brothers: "Goin' Back" and "Wasn't Born to Follow." It says a lot for the quality of their songwriting that despite being written by a pair of Brill Building pop writers, the latter song was considered sufficiently hip to appear on the soundtrack to Easy Rider.
		Goffin and King divorced in the late '60s.
		Goffin continued to write with others, and King launched her career as a singer-songwriter, which culminated with the enormously popular album Tapestry (Ode, 1971).

		Louise Goffin likens the feeling of making her solo album, "Sometimes a Circle" (due Feb. 26 via DreamWorks), to a person who has worn tight clothes his or her entire life, and then suddenly puts on something comfortable.
		Goffin, the daughter of legendary songwriters Carole King and Gerry Goffin, had been expressing her musicality with several experimental bands before finally going solo in the late '90s.
		Goffin says, "When DreamWorks was interested, it all changed for me. [Waronker's] not signing things that he thinks are fast money.

	Carole King
		She cut a few singles in the late 50's and early 60s, but first made a name for herself as a songwriter, working with lyricist/husband Gerry Goffin: they cranked out hits for a plethora of acts, and even turned their babysitter into a recording star when they wrote "Locomotion" for Little Eva.
		And "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?," originally written by King and ex-husband Gerry Goffin for the Shirelles, is a high point not just of the record, but perhaps of the entire soft-rock movement - it features both James Taylor and Joni Mitchell on superb background harmonies.
		Gerry Goffin came back to write lyrics on half the tracks, but she wrote the moderately successful single, "Only Love Is Real." This was another solid commercial success, and fans won't go far wrong, but there's nothing here she hasn't done better somewhere else.

		Gerry Goffin and Joni Mitchell were among those record biz types and critics who voted in the latest poll.
		She rose to the top of the charts with Goffin and King's "The Loco-motion" and was an overnight sensation back in the innocent 1962 heyday of rock and roll, and just as quickly, she faded away but, her legend will forever live in the hearts of millions of Baby Boomers.
		A favorite part was Carole and Gerry and Barry and Cynthia sitting at a kitchen table reminiscing (later found out it was the Mann/Weil kitchen table!) Gerry Goffin, whom I always suspected had a dark and possibly smart-ass personality, turned out to be loveable.
