Thread Name: Carole King rewrites history!
Subject: RE: Carole King rewrites history!
Just had a look at the Wikipedia article on Sedaka, and King barely gets a mention because they never performed or composed together. While she was indeed the eponymous sweetheart in 'Oh Carol', that seems to have been constructed as a purely commercial exercise (though that doesn't stop it being a great pop song), and the 'Oh Neil' response was penned by Goffin.
