RIP.
During the period between peak Elvis and the Beatles, Mann/Weil and Goffin/King wrote nearly everything that wasn’t from the Beach Boys. It’s not like they stopped in the 70s and 80s either.
A truly great song writer...
Never wrote anything I did not like...
R.I.P. Cynthia...
When I was a senior in high school, “We gotta get outta this place” was our class song. It wasn’t that we hated the place, but we had senioritis.
She gets my highest accolade: She’s written songs I wish I wrote. RIP.
Cynthia lived in Manhattan and shot what I consider the most graphic 9/11 video of all of them. Take a look, particularly the time period before the 2nd strike;
