    This was one of the 45s that I didn't win in a recent auction, but since it's #MusicWomenWednesday, I decided to post it anyway!

    You’ve Got a Friend

    On this day 55 years ago James Taylor was at #1 with this cover of a Carole King song, that was inspired by a James Taylor song.

    “You just call out my name
    And you know, wherever I am
    I'll come runnin'
    To see you again
    Winter, spring, summer or fall
    All you have to do is call
    And I'll be there
    You've got a friend”

  3. "The Loco-Motion" (or "Locomotion") is a #popSong written by American songwriters #GerryGoffin and #CaroleKing. "The Loco-Motion" was originally written for the R&B singer #DeeDeeSharp, but Sharp turned the song down. The song is especially notable for making three appearances in the American top 3, each in a different decade and by a different artist: in 1962 by #LittleEva (U.S. No. 1); in 1974 by #GrandFunkRailroad (also U.S. No. 1);.
