#TheMonkees (1968) from the movie "Head"

#CaroleKing co-wrote the song with #GerryGoffin, and his production owes much to "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" released the year before.

A song you like that’s a #cover by another artist:

“Take a Giant Step” - #TajMahal— song written by #CaroleKing & #GerryGoffin for the #Monkees & released as B side to “Last Train to Clarksville” August 1966. Taj Mahal *cover* was released in 1969.

So… is it really a “cover” or just another artist having a go at a King/Goffin song?

Taj’s daughter Deva also covered Giant Step in 2018. Lucky me has seen both Mahals perform it live!
