Is the chorus taken from a Carol King song?

It is Phil ~~Spooky Spectre~~ Spector/Beach Boys though...

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Feb 01, 2020 9:15 pm

It's quite nice whatever its source. And quite blessed with a subtle pathos.

"So It Goes" (Official Audio)

This is a rip off of something as well.. Steely Dan?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Feb 01, 2020 9:16 pm

Track 6 - So It Goes.

Thin Lizzy do Steely Dan's Reeling in the Years.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Feb 01, 2020 9:17 pm

This is the best song so far.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Feb 01, 2020 9:17 pm

It's also the one that suits his voice best.

by Nightjar Sat Feb 01, 2020 9:17 pm

I think this was a big hit in the US-of-A.

Less so here in the U-of-the-K.

This is the original? Gorilla No

Are the Attractions playing on this? Sly

Steve Nieve-style org*n and reggae stylings.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Feb 01, 2020 9:20 pm

Vocally, he's been listening to Bob Marley.

But it's quite an intriguing song.

I can't actually remember what that one sounds like. But I'll take his/her/it's word on it.
