    I've always loved her and her songs. She is what I imagine myself to be when I'm singing my own songs at my own piano with no audience but the cat. What an excellent songwriter. So much soul. So personal and universal at the same time - which is the kind of songwriting I like best. So straightforward. What a fantastic gift to the world of music!

      I saw it in Belfast a couple of months ago. Best musical I've ever been to. I'm an introvert. It takes a lot to get me up on my feet singing and dancing, but I did. The music inspired it.

    A living legend. In the pre-Beatles years she and her forner husband Jerry Goffin wrote some of the finest contemporary songs of the era, including the Shirelle's WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW, the Chiffons' ONE FINE DAY and her own RAIN UNTIL SEPTEMBER.Among the songs recorded by other artists was Herman's Hermits' I'M INTO SOMETHING GOOD. She then recorded her own highly successful albums. She was one of the first female rock composers and certainly one of best of any sex.
