The last time I heard "Going Back" was at a supermarket a few days ago. At first I thought I was hallucinating. Than I realised it was Phil Collins's version. I heard it first by the Byrds and than later on a re- release of Carol King's "City".
Rest in peace Gerry Goffin.

Sad news! What great songs they both wrote!

Thanks for the mention of 'The City' - I managed to get that on CD not too long ago and I still love the album.

One of my favourite Goffin/King songs is the Everly Brothers' 'No-one Can Make My Sunshine Smile' - heavenly!!!
