Carole King Klein (born Carol Joan Klein;
February 9, 1942) is an American singer-songwriter who has been active since
1958, initially as one of the staff songwriters at the Brill Building and later as a solo artist. She is the most successful female
songwriter of the latter half of the 20th century in the US, having written or
co-written 118 pop hits on the Billboard
Hot 100. King also wrote 61 hits that charted in the
UK, making her the most successful female songwriter on the UK singles charts
between 1962 and 2005.
King's major success began in the 1960s when
she and her first husband, Gerry
Goffin, wrote more than two dozen chart hits, many
of which have become standards,
for numerous artists. She
has continued writing for other artists since then. King's success as a
performer in her own right did not come until the 1970s, when she sang her own
songs, accompanying herself on the piano, in a series of albums and concerts. After
experiencing commercial disappointment with her debut álbum Writer,
King scored her breakthrough with the album Tapestry, which topped the U.S. album
chart for 15 weeks in 1971 and remained on the charts for more than six years.
King has made 25 solo albums, the most
successful being Tapestry, which held the record for most weeks at No. 1 by a
female artist for more than 20 years. Her record sales were estimated at more
than 75 million copies worldwide. She has won four Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for her
songwriting. She is the recipient of the 2013 Library
of Congress Gershwin
Prize for Popular Song, the first woman to
be so honored. She is also a 2015 Kennedy
Center Honoree.
Tapestry is the second studio album by
American singer-songwriter Carole
King, released in 1971 on Ode Records and produced by Lou Adler.
It is one of the
best-selling albums of all time, with over 25 million copies sold worldwide. In
the United States, it has been certified Diamond by the RIAA with
more than 10 million copies sold. It received four Grammy Awards in 1972, including Album of the Year. The lead singles from
the album—"It's Too Late"/"I
Feel the Earth Move"—spent five weeks at number
one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Easy Listening charts. In 2000
it was voted number 74 in Colin
Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums. In
2020, Tapestry was ranked number 25 on Rolling
Stone list of the 500 greatest albums of
all time.
