Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow

"Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" was written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King in 1960, when he was 21 and she was 18. Released by the Shirelles in the same year, it reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, which was the first time that had been achieved by an all African American female group. It was not until 1971 that Carole King recorded the song herself, for her legendary Tapestry album. Her much slower rendition became the standard tempo for the many subsequent covers.

    Nice renditions. A comment re Millard Fillmore's signing of the Fugitive Slave Act. Fillmore was no supporter of slavery. He had no good choices when presented with the Act. He either vetoed it and risked breaking the Union apart or he signed it and left judgment on that to History. He chose the latter to avoid the former.

    When the Union did break up in 1860-61 some of the soutern states secession acts cited the refusal of some northern states to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act.
