I went to "Beautiful" last night, great show and A Natural Woman was featured. Carol King and Gerry Goffin story, mixed with their friends Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil.

(Gerry Goffin was one smart cooky with lyrics. So Sad The Song, by Gladys Knight is my favourite which I played at my departed's funeral.)

I remember my parents friends had one of his nude politician calendars cartoons in their toilet.
As a 13 year old I found it quite shocking. At his peak in the 80's he was amazingly influential. He ended up looking a bit dodgy unfortunately.
