Hi Kathy. Sorry for my delay in getting back to you. Thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for sharing that reference to Seinfeld and Curb! I appreciate you reading my blog! All the best.

The equivalent of Audrey Hepburn saying she was going to give Hubert Givenchy a break and design her own costumes for Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Here Kirchner’s got Carole King, Neil Diamond and Boyce and Hart penning their can’t miss hits, but the hand selected band members want a chance to ‘write their own stuff!’ Sounds like a plot line from Seinfeld or Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Jania–

I didn’t say that Dolenz wrote either of those songs. He sang them.

My article stated:

Don [Kirschner] called upon songwriters such as hit-maker Carole King (“Pleasant Valley Sunday”), the up-and-coming Neil Diamond (“I’m a Believer”), and an embryonic writing duo, Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart (“Last Train to Clarksville”) to churn out infectious pop hits.

I have these albums and know who wrote the songs.Plus, you can check these links:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Train_to_Clarksville

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_a_Believer

I always double-check these things before I write articles.

Thanks for your interest,
