Oh! Carol – Neil Sedaka
Neil Sedaka was linked with Carole King all the way back when he was in high school! He wrote the song “Oh! Carol” about her, back when she was still known as Carol Klein. Later, Carol’s husband Gerry Goffin would pen a response song called “Oh! Neil.” Unfortunately for him, it was nowhere near as successful as Sedaka’s song.

Elton John and tennis star Billie Jean King first met in 1973. They became good friends and colleagues as activists trying to raise awareness and funds for HIV/AIDS causes. Elton co-wrote “Philadelphia Freedom” as a favor and tribute to his friend, who was a member of the Philadelphia Freedoms tennis team.
