Thought I'd post this before It's Too Late
*** CAROLE KING: A BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY, BY ESTEEMED BIOGRAPHER AND HISTORIAN HENRY SPENCER, OFFERS AN UPARALLELED LOOK INTO THE LIFE OF ONE OF MUSIC'S MOST BELOVED ICONS. ***

With a narrative as captivating as her melodies, this biography unveils the layers of Carole's life, from her humble beginnings to her ascent as a cornerstone of American music. Spencer masterfully intertwines heart-warming anecdotes and the challenges Carole faced, presenting a story that is both profoundly personal and universally resonant. Drawing from intimate interviews with Carole herself and the testimonies of those who were closest to her, Spencer crafts a narrative that feels both comprehensive and deeply touching. This biography does more than chronicle Carole King's journey; it celebrates the spirit of resilience and the enduring impact of her music. "Carole King: A Beautiful Journey" is not just a testament to her legacy but an invitation to explore the beautiful intricacies of a life fully lived.

    A true 'of her time' writer. Hope it is OK to add these, all cut n pasted...


    "Chains" (later recorded by the Beatles), "The Loco-Motion", "Keep Your Hands off My Baby" (both for their babysitter Little Eva), and "It Might as Well Rain Until September" which King recorded herself in 1962 — her first success, which charted at 22 in the US and 3 in the UK (where it was her all-time greatest hit).[38] King recorded a few follow-up singles in the wake of "September", with none charting particularly well; by 1966, her already sporadic recording career was entirely abandoned – albeit temporarily.

    Other songs of King's early period (through 1967) include "Half Way To Paradise" for Tony Orlando (recorded by Billy Fury in the UK), "Take Good Care of My Baby" for Bobby Vee, "Up on the Roof" for the Drifters, "I'm into Something Good" for Earl-Jean (later recorded by Herman's Hermits), "One Fine Day" for the Chiffons, and "Pleasant Valley Sunday" for the Monkees (inspired by their move to suburban West Orange, New Jersey),[39] and the classic "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" for Aretha Franklin.[40] The duo wrote several songs recorded by Dusty Springfield, including "Goin' Back" and "Some of Your Lovin'". They wrote at 1650 Broadway, alongside other songwriters associated with the Brill Building Sound.[41][42]
