"Will You Love Me Tomorrow", sometimes known as "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow",[3] is a song with words by Gerry Goffin and music composed by Carole King. It was recorded in 1960 by the Shirelles at Bell Sound Studios in New York City, and hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song was the first by an African-American all-girl group to reach number one in the United States.[4] It has since been recorded by many other artists, including a version by co-writer King released on her 1971 album Tapestry.
