Carole King is without question the most successful & revered female singer-songwriter in pop music history. More than 400 of her compositions have been recorded by over 1,000 artists, resulting in 100 hit singles – many of them becoming signatory sensations for a vast array of her fellow recording artists: “Natural Woman” (Aretha Franklin), “Will You Love Me Tomorrow” (The Shirelles), “The Loco-Motion” (Little Eva), “Up on the Roof” (The Drifters), “One Fine Day” (The Chiffons), “I’m Into Something Good” (Herman’s Hermits), and so many others, including Carole’s own signature hits – “Beautiful,” “I Feel the Earth Move” and “Nightingale.”
It was her 1971 album Tapestry that took King to the pinnacle, winning all three of the key Grammy Awards – Record, Song and Album of the Year, as well as Best Female Vocalist. Deftly blending the roots of folk, soul, rock, and blues, the compilation is simply masterful. With more than 25 million units sold, Tapestry remained the best-selling album by a female artist for a quarter century, and King went on to amass three other platinum and seven gold albums.
