@Chop Scott: He's a fine producer in his own right and probably contains 100% human DNA.
  10:25pm
looking stuff up:

In 1961 I [Lee Irwin] produced "The Idol," a documentary about teen idol Bobby Vee that became part of Desilu Sales' "Windows on the World" syndicated series. Bobby himself was still a teenager himself at the time, just 18, but had already recorded a string of hit records and albums, most of them written by the husband-and-wife team of Carole King and Gerry Goffin. They included "Take Good Care of My Baby," "Run to Him," and "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes." Here [YT] is the closing five minutes of the documentary, which includes the title song, written by King and Goffin. IT ["The Idol"] WAS NEVER RELEASED ON RECORD.

That could have been a line in the song

@Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If you were to say that Carole King stands along as a songwriter without any further qualifiers whatsoever, I wouldn't argue with that assessment.

Gaylord please don't disparage Nesmith, we could have conflict ahead.

Flakes re I don't think you know me - All 4 Monkees sang versions! The Jones one has yet to surface but to was recorded. I prefer the Peter version, and his performance of it at the Beacon Theater Monkees show in 2011 remains an all-time concert highlight for me

Hoboken Jack:

For what it's worth, here's a Nesmith quote to the Asbury Park Press in 2014:
"At the time, Carole King asked if I would like to write with her, but I was so intimidated by the idea of a pop song, and so naive as to the process, I turned down that opportunity. I loved CK's work then, and still do, but it couldn't have been any other way. I was clueless."
