The duo penned over fifty Top 40 hits including “The Loco-motion”, “Natural Woman” and “Up On The Roof”. In 1987, Goffin and King were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.

Goffin passed away on June 19, 2014. His work has left an indelible mark on pop music.
