Carole Klein, 9 February 1942, Brooklyn, New York, USA. A proficient pianist from the age of four, King was a prolific songwriter by her early teens. When friend and neighbour Neil Sedaka embarked on his recording career, she followed him into the New York milieu, recording demos, singing back-up and even helping arrange occasional sessions. As a student at Queen's College, New York, she met future partner and husband Gerry Goffin whose lyrical gifts matched King's grasp of melody. She completed a handful of singles, including "The Right Girl" (1958), "Baby Sittin'", "Queen Of The Beach" (1959), prior to recording "Oh Neil" (1960), a riposte to Sedaka's "Oh Carol". Although not a hit, her record impressed publishing magnate Don Kirshner, who signed the Goffin/King More...

I found it. | Reviewer: jackie ------ About the song Pierre performed by Carole King My aunt bought me this book I think it was 1974. I lost the book but I all ways remember the story. None of my friend ever read the book. I since told the story to my kids without the book. this is my favortie childhood book. awesome | Reviewer: anna ------ About the song Where You Lead performed by Carole King i love this song! i agree w/ Gilmore Lover!! i hate the person who canceled the show!! i love that show!!!! i still watch it on abc family! but it doesnt show all the seasons!!! :( i want all the seasons and episodes on dvd!! One of my alltime favorite songs | Reviewer: Tony ------ About the song Wasn' t Born To Follow performed by Carole King Of all the versions of this song, and there are many, for me the authoritative version is the Byrds' rendition, which appears (twice) in the movie Easy Rider. Even though Carole King and Gerry Goffin wrote it, and Carole King recorded it, I still think McGuinn's interpretation comes closest to expressing the sense of wonder and bittersweet beauty of those lyrics. To get a feel for how broadly the song has been interpreted, consider that it has been covered by, among others, Dusty Springfield, the Sadies, and the Gordons, each to wildly different effect. Although I first heard Wasn't Born to Follow almost 40yrs ago, it still gives me butterflies every time I hear it. Not that many songs I can say *that* about. Nina | Reviewer: Nina ------ About the song It's Too Late performed by Carole King I love this song. it reminds me of a simpler time (early 70's) warm summers listening to KFJZ lying on my bed watching the breeze carry my curtains across the bed..I never heard a a voice like Carole King before it was breath taking. She opened the doors for so many women singers. She remindnds me of innocence. Beautiful Child of Mine | Reviewer: Baabee ------ About the song Child Of Mine performed by Carole King Almost three years ago, my daughter became pregnant with her fourth child. Her first was a miscarriage and her two boys were 11 and 13 at the time. They were not too happy about mom having a baby. Through tests my daughter found out that there may be something "wrong" with the baby and agreed to have an amniocentesis. Knowing what could eventually happen, we prayed and were overjoyed when the results were positive that her baby girl would be fine. On the way home one day, another daughter and I were listening to the car radio when Child of Mine played. Without a word to the other, we were both sobbing because no matter what, Desiray would be our child. And she definitely is! She has won the hearts of her brothers - she could get away with sin and they are sooo protective of her. They were present at her birth and were so overcome by her arrival that the attending nurse stopped what she was doing to give the 11-year old a hug. They wouldn't leave their sister's side. She is such a beautiful and smart two year old. And I thank God everyday for her as well as my other grandchildren. mom SG | Reviewer: carmela ------ About the song Child Of Mine performed by Carole King a 3 month search resulted in this song for my younger son and I to dance at his wedding. three days later we learned his older brother would be getting married in 3 months and I could think of no better or other song for the two of us to dance at HIS wedding....so glad they're both a child of mine! I've been blessed beyond my greatest dreams by these two! Thanx guys! I LOVE YOU BOTH! It's so so so so true............... | Reviewer: Frankie ------ About the song It's Too Late performed by Carole King So So So sad, 26 years. From the coliseums in Rome to Diamond Head in Hawaii, from the florida shores to the Great White way of NYC. When its dead its dead. But we continue to hang on.......I hate work, now I hate coming home even more................ Write these musicals! | Reviewer: Sidney Goldberg ------ About artist/band Carole King Write the music to these hip Jewish styled shows! Maybe the new 'Fiddler on the Roof'? Click www.SidneyGoldbergWriter.com and you'll see I write up a storm: book and lyrics to 20 musicals. Eight have been completed by some of the most accomplished composers (see bio) and are currently under consideration, the rest are waiting to be composed. One of the funniest musicals ever written, about nutty, meshugeneh Jews; Abraham, fulfilling his covenant with God by circumcising himself. "Abraham's Cut," is a hysterically funny story about the last Mohel, circumciser in the Bronx. The three desperate candidates who have come to be circumcised are petrified when they meet the Mohel, who turns out to be wearing very thick glasses, his hands shake and says he like to drink bourbon before all his circumcisions. "That Bestseller," is a funny and sexual story about how the Bible was supposedly written by two starving messhugeneh brothers, Abie and Leyzer 5,000 years ago. Song from my all time favorite romance movie - Murphy's Romance | Reviewer: Berdena Sohm ------ About the song Love For The Last Time performed by Carole King If this song is available on a CD, I have been unable to find it. I love this song so much that I ended up buying the DVD just so I could hear this song at the end of the film. (I love the film, too) The words for "Love for the last time" are so frank and honest. The melody is lilting and lovely. Wonderful song! Carole King is great! I'm a true fan. "So Far Away" | Reviewer: Kayla Spencer ------ About artist/band Carole King "So Far Away" is my favorite song ever. I love the whole idea of the song. The first time I heard it I remember thinking wow,that song is really moving & really touched my heart. Yours Truly, Kayla Spencer Child of Mine | Reviewer: Lulu ------ About the song Child Of Mine performed by Carole King I have been a Carole King fan for 40+ years, but only heard this song a few years ago. I was widowed 14 years ago, and our only child, a daughter, is getting married this year and I will give her away. We will play this song as I walk her down the aisle. I can't think of a song that expresses what I feel better than this. Waterproof mascara will be a must on the wedding day!!! INCOMPARABLE | Reviewer: Pamanda ------ About artist/band Carole King Never before, and most likely never again will there be an artist of her caliber. Her music has touched the hearts and souls of all genders, races, and ages. During the sixties and seventies she is the one artist that my grandmother, mother and I would listen to together. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world. a recommendation | Reviewer: XOXOXO ------ About the song Where You Lead, I Will Follow performed by Carole King I love gilmore girls and this is the theme song. probably here everyone has heard this song. These direction of lyrics are very specific and they have the same words. I would recommend this especially for Gilmore Girl LUVERS!

Morton Morrison 12 arthur street danbury ct 06810 203 748 7339 morty211@sbcglobal.net This is the best soulful, jazzy song I've ever heard & very singable | Reviewer: Marilyn ------ About the song Smackwater Jack performed by Carole King Great song. IMO Carole King is one of the most talented yet overlooked singer & songwriter or our time. I would encourage anyone to listen and study her life and her marvelous work. She's also great easy listening for adults and children. Good traveling music, pop the CD in and take the kiddies for a ride, everyone will be singing along in no time. Marilyn in Oregon Great Performance | Reviewer: orville ------ About the album Carnegie Hall Concert: June 18, 1971 performed by Carole King A very talented singer/composer. From her humble beginnings as a Brill building music writer, she gave us memorable hits in pop music history. In this concert, she only proved that she has come full circle. She transcended into a one of pop-rock music's living legend. Althought she's not as good as an agile singer, her crisp voice and honest interpretations of the songs she wrote were enough to captivate the hearts of billions of music lovers worldwide. Truly, a gifted pianist, singer and sonwriter. amazing | Reviewer: Steve ------ About the song Child Of Mine performed by Carole King Although I am reasonably familiar with Carole King's work, I somehow missed this song until I picked up "The Ode Years". It began playing on my car stereo, and it brought me to tears. It is exactly what I wanted to say to my oldest child, with whom I've had a tempestuous relationship over the years. It's amazing how someone else's words can really express what's in my heart! Re: above | Reviewer: Another anonymous ------ About the song Snow Queen performed by Carole King I believe that the version you heard in No. Cal. was by Roger Nichols and the Small Circle of Friends on A&M records. He later did the arranging for the Carpenters which is evident on this record. where you lead? | Reviewer: farraden ------ About the song Where You Lead performed by Carole King yep... this is my song to my boyfriend. a very sweet song, tells a total surrender of a woman in love.
