About Carole King

Carole King was born in Brooklyn in 1942 and began writing professionally as a teenager. With her then-husband Gerry Goffin she wrote a run of early-1960s hits for other singers, among them 'The Loco-Motion' for Little Eva, 'Up on the Roof' for the Drifters and '(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman' for Aretha Franklin.

After moving to Los Angeles she stepped forward as a performer, and her 1971 solo album, produced by Lou Adler, carried 'It's Too Late', 'I Feel the Earth Move' and her own version of 'You've Got a Friend', which James Taylor also took to number one. The record set her plain, warm voice against piano and a small band, drawing on soul and folk as much as pop. Her songwriting years later became the subject of the Broadway musical Beautiful.
