No offense taken. It’s kind of a polarizing song. ---

Actually, this is a good example of why I prefer you make a separate post for additional entries, rather than editing an existing post and adding them there. @Q.Q.Switcheroo only posted one entry initially, which I added to my list. Then, Q.Q. apparently edited that post and added 3 more, including Us and Them. I would have missed all 3 if @EinsteinsHund hadn’t pointed it out. No big deal, I just don’t want to overlook anyone’s entries. mmm ---

Taylor’s version of “Up On the Roof” is very fine. And the results of these polls are almost inconsequential. Still “Up On the Roof” might be the best song on this list, and may be Carole King’s best song ever. A vote split could keep it out of the money. In the “W” songs the votes for “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” were split 21 to 24 between King and the Shirelles (with one duplicate vote). It wouldn’t have been in the top five even without the split, but the competition shouldn’t be as tough in the “U”s. Nothing personal — just a general comment. I’m glad you sent some love James’s way. ---
