    Carol King and Carly Simon may well be the best and most imaginative female lyricists and songwriters ever.

    "Tapestry" is in my top 10 best albums of all...side A and side B. As fas as Carly Simon, "Another Passenger" is easily my fav of hers....side A and side B.

    In the Ghetto ...written by Mac Davis but made famous by Elvis as his comeback hit following the Beatles wiping him off the charts.

    Loved this song when Nine Inch Nails first released it.

    Was absolutely blown away when Cash did it.

    Epicly poetic.

    Not a storytelling song but a story about a song.
