Throughout his 4+ decade career, Goffin wrote 114 Billboard Hot 100 hits, eight of which went to No. The deal also encompasses several songs Goffin wrote with other songwriters such as Russ Titelman, Barry Goldberg, and Michael Masser which include the Oscar nominated “Theme From Mahogany (Do You Know Where You’re Going To)” and the Golden Globe nominated “So Sad the Song.” Goffin continued to write hit after hit throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s, penning such classics as Peabo Bryson & Roberta Flack’s platinum selling international hit “Tonight, I Celebrate My Love For You” and Whitney Houston’s “Saving All My Love For You” - her first No. Park Jimin is indeed a record-breaker who shows great promise of success with his own music.Sources say the company has acquired a sizable stake in Goffin’s catalog for $20 million.
