The songwriter and ex-husband of Carole King died June 19 at 75. After meeting in 1958, Goffin and King wrote and composed more than 50 Top 40 hit songs that were eventually recorded by performers including the Drifters, the Chiffons, the Animals, and the Beatles. Even after Goffin and King divorced in 1968, the duo continued to write music together for some time. Some of his hits include "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" and "The Loco-Motion."
