"Pleasant Valley Sunday" Carole King

"Pleasant Valley Sunday" has always been one of my favorite Monkees songs...great melody, hip lyrics, groovy guitar lick, incredible drumming and sparkling vocals...The song was written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King...Here is the songwriters demo recording with Carole King on vocals...it is much folkier than the Monkees version...it sounds like how The Mamas And Papas or Spanky & Our Gang might have done it...cool stuff.
