GOFFIN & KING - BRILL BUILDING MAGIC WITH AL RANDALL
GOFFIN & KING — 25 ESSENTIAL HITS
This week, we take the elevator up to 1650 Broadway and step into the golden age of the Brill Building. Gerry Goffin and Carole King didn’t just write hits — they shaped the emotional blueprint of the 1960s. From girl‑group harmonies to British Invasion smashes, from soulful ballads to psychedelic film themes, their songs defined an era and influenced generations.
This 25‑track journey covers their biggest moments: The Shirelles’ groundbreaking #1, Little Eva’s dance‑floor phenomenon, The Drifters’ rooftop escape, Dusty’s reflective masterpiece, and Aretha’s iconic anthem. Labels like Scepter, Atlantic, Dimension, Columbia, and Colgems all carried their magic.
If you love the sound of New York’s songwriting factory at full power, this is your hour.
Sit back, turn it up, and enjoy the brilliance of Goffin & King.
