Cover Story: Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow

Cover Story makes a long overdue visit to the songwriting of Carole King, who with her then-husband Gerry Goffin wrote Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow as songwriters-for-hire in the Brill Building music factory of 1960s New York. Originally recorded and made famous by The Shirelles, King's own version of the song on 1971's Tapestry might be its most famous iteration, but there are many brilliant, unforgivable, and indefinable versions for Andy and his guests, Felix Cross and Laura Case, to dig their teeth into. Will You Still Love Me TomorrowMusic by Carole King, lyrics by Gerry GoffinFirst released by The Shirelles on Tonight’s The Night, 1960Versions heard in this episode:Carole King - Tapestry (1971)Johnny O’Keefe - B-side to single ‘Rock'n'Roll Will Stand’ (1964)Linda Ronstadt - Silk Purse (1970)Amy Winehouse - Lioness: Hidden Treasures (2011)Taylor Swift - Carole King Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction (2021)Dana Valery - single (1976)Andy Gibb/P.P.
