We say happy birthday to Carole King, who was born in New York City on this day in 1942.
In the 1960's, Carole King and her husband Gerry Goffin wrote one hit after another: “Will You Love Me Tomorrow” for the Shirelles, “Take Good Care Of My Baby” (Bobby Vee, 1961), “The Loco-Motion” (Little Eva, 1962), “Up On The Roof” (The Drifters, 1962), “Chains” (The Cookies, 1962; The Beatles, 1963), “One Fine Day” (The Chiffons, 1963), “Hey Girl” (Freddie Scott, 1963), “I’m Into Something Good” (Herman’s Hermits, 1964), “Just Once In My Life” (with Phil Spector for The Righteous Brothers, 1965), and “Don’t Bring Me Down” (The Animals, 1966).
In 1971, she went solo with her LP "Tapestry" and it became a huge smash.
