The guy was internationally renowned for some of his classic songs. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickMcD Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 He did write some great songs. I loved 'You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman' sung by his wife Carole King. Kind of ambiguous all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps not, but as a man who listens to Radio 2 and Smooth Radio I'm betting you could sing along to almost every tune he wrote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine . . You have probably danced to one of his tunes at some point . I know that , any time I have been to an event where they played Little Eva 's Locomotion , the dance floor got filled up , pretty quickly . .

oaksoft Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 I dinnae dance to any music. Right, that needs sorting. Go to Youtube and look for Erasure - Give a Little Respect.

Bud the Baker Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 A craftsman here's just three he had a hand in Little Eva - The Locomotion Theme from Mahogany - Diana Ross Saving all my Love For You - Whitney Houston ......as someone mentioned his lyrics seemed to suit female vocalists. Had a troubled later life, apparently a casualty of the druggy side of the counterculture - but let's celebrate the good times and for me this is one of the highlights...........
