My favorite Mann/Weil song: "Hungry" by Paul Revere & the Raiders

She wrote so many great songs. Also one of Carole King's favorite songwriters. May she R.I.P.

NOT co-written by her husband Barry Mann but by singer songwriter Mark James, the late B.J. Thomas "Alone Too Long" (from 1973 "Songs") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URUe37I ... omas-Topic

"Alone Too Long" was also done by The Partridge Family (from their final late 1973 album "Bulletin Board" & also from the 4th & final TV season) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfBFNsj ... mily-Topic
