description: "Gerald Goffin was an American lyricist. Collaborating initially with his first wife, Carole King, he co-wrote many international pop hits of the early and mid-1960s, including the US No. 1 hits \"Will You Love Me Tomorrow\", \"Take Good Care of My Baby\", \"The Loco-Motion\", and \"Go Away Little Girl\". It was later said of Goffin that his gift was \"to find words that expressed what many young people were feeling but were unable to articulate.\""
