She's a national treasure. A lot of singers owe a big chunk of their careers to her.

Carole King was one of my mother's favorite artists when I was a little boy in the 1970's. Her music was played in our home regularly, and anytime I hear a Carole King song I'm transported back. She's such a talented artist and an intelligent, well-spoken individual. Sure wish I could meet her in person.

There are interviews on KZfaq of Lennon and McCartney from the mid 60's where they specifically state that in the earlier days they saw Goffin and King as a paradigm that they modeled their own songwriting partnership on.Not a bad compliment.

Carole King is a legend no doubt, i was glad i came up in her era i was a 15 year old teenager living in NYC and in 1971 after listening to a song from her Tapestry album played on WABC 77 radio Its too late, i went out to the record shop and brought the Tapestry album and loved it not knowing that that album would become her most famous album of all her albums, her songs took me through my teen years and she is a great writer she wrote songs back in the 60's 70's for a lot of famous singers, what a legend.

Carole is a national treasure. Her music is sublime and she is a warm, kind and caring person as well. This is not about politics or religion. It's about an artist who has influenced generations with her musical gifts. Carole is an artistic genius and she is ours - truly American in every way. I am grateful for the songs, the music, the hours of pleasure listening to that iconic voice that was the voice of a generation. Love her!

You may find that most artists that were writing and performing during the 60s are very real and down to earth. It's not hype, music is life to them, they breath it.....Carole King and Laura Nyro never sold out on their music. We love you Carole...And we miss you Laura Nyro...

The fact is A JEWISH GIRL can and did have what it takes and can overcome obstacles .... good for her !

@jamespeyton7312 3 жыл бұрын

In her book she was clear to say that that security did not go into her personal relationships with her husband. She was stated that her parents instilled this confidence in her music perhaps because she had a brother with disabilities and that maybe her father placed his hopes and wishes for his son upon his daughter.

@evanhughes1510 2 жыл бұрын

She wasn’t blaming anybody. She was just sharing her personal experiences working with men in her career was positive. She acknowledges it’s has often not positive for others. This was just her personal experience

How to break through "glass ceilings"? Trying to be good at what you do exactly as boys do, maybe? Do you want some examples? Carole King, Aretha Franklin, Myriam Makeba, Nina Simone, Angelique Kidjo, Tina Turner, Esperanza Spalding, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Lucinda Williams, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt. Patti Smith, PJ Harvey, Annie Lennox, Siouxsie (& the Banshees), Tal Wikenfeld, Janis Joplin, Koko Taylor, Bessie Smith, Gloria Gaynor, ... All this victimhood mindset & whining (I'm talking about the assumptions made by people like this interviewer) makes me sick.
