Round #1 ended with 'Retha serving up Adele on a platter. Let's hope the combatants are as lucky this time. This was the early years for Carole and I don't think she could afford a new 'do.
Here is Round #2.
Please be gentle folks. One vote, re-voting allowed.

Everybody sings Carole King, everybody. Who sings Celine?

I didn't think that she looked all that natural...
Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
It's dizzying, the possibilities. Ashes, Ashes all fall down.

Aw c'mon! The song was written by Goffin, Wexler and KING - Carol King. And only one of them represented the woman's perspective. Waddaya think?

- Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

But yes, Goffin, Wexler and KING. And, what's more, all those songs written by Goffin and King - who's to say how much was Goffin and how much really was King? Plus, I wouldn't mind betting that even the bits that were Goffin were only as they were because they were heavily influenced by, and definitely inspired by, King.
There really is no contest here. So I haven't voted.

I did not vote. I found all the clips except Aretha's to be excruciating to listen to.

Re: Smackdown Round #2: Natural Woman
Goffin wrote the lyrics, King the music. Gerry Goffin wrote all the lyrics, even for songs like "Will you love me tomorrow?" and "Natural woman." Jerry Wexler had the idea for the song and gave it to Aretha, and King and Goffin thought he did enough to deserve co-writing credit.benhall.1 wrote:But yes, Goffin, Wexler and KING.

I read an article about Tapestry a few years back. Carole wrote words and music for most of the songs on the album, and she wrote some mighty fine lyrics. The writer of the article prodded Gerry, saying "C'mon, Carole must have written some of the lyrics, or at least helped out," and Gerry said "Not one word." He said that after working with her and being married to her for ten years, he wasn't just surprised that she wrote good lyrics, but that she wrote lyrics at all.
