Only found out last week that Carole had written this. Fabulous song!

Carole King, rather like Jackie De Shannon and Ellie Greenwich, did some of her best sixties work on recordings that never saw the light of the day because they were demos for other artists to record. Before she became a solo artist, Carole King and Gerry Goffin had scores of huge hits as songwriters, including this one for the Monkees: a 1966 demo that I prefer.
One of the greatest demos ever made?

The demo of the greatest song ever written beautifully performed by it's co-creator

I was originally hoping to find "17 Days" by Prince but this is doing it for me right now as well.
Love this version!
