The History of Carole King

Carole King began writing pop hits in her teens, penning classics like Will You Still Love Me, Up on the Roof, The Loco-Motion, and One Fine Day. Any one of these could have defined a successful career, but her breakthrough came in 1971 with the release of her solo album Tapestry. The album held the #1 spot for four months and remained on the charts for over six years. It produced even bigger hits, including You’ve Got a Friend, So Far Away, It’s Too Late, and I Feel the Earth Move. Her journey is the amazing story of a young, earnest songwriter whose mix of gently rocking pop, folk, and soul music touched and warmed us all.
