           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.
             You've Got Mail is a soundtrack album from the 1998 film of the same name.

Funny how I feel more myself with you
Than anybody else that I ever knew
I hear it in your voice, see it in your face
You've become a memory I can't erase
You could have been anyone at all
A stranger falling out of the blue
I'm so glad it was you
It wasn't in the plan, not that I could see
Suddenly a miracle came to me
Safe within your arms I can say what's true
Nothing in the world I would keep from you
You could have been anyone at all
An old friend calling out of the blue
I'm so glad it was you
Words can hurt you if you let them
People say them and forget them
Words can promise, words can lie
But your words make me feel like I can fly
You could have been anyone at all
And that's what catches me when I fall
I'm so glad it was you
You could have been...

I walk along those city streets
You used to walk along with me
And every step I take recalls
How much in love we used to be
 
How can I forget you
When there is always something there to remind me?
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you
And I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me
Whoa-ooo-ohhh-oh
 
If you should find you miss
The sweet and tender love
We used to share
Just go back to the places
Where we used to go
And I'll be there
 
How can I forget you
When there is always something there to remind me?
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you
And I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me
Whoa-ooo-ohhh-oh
Whoa-oh-ooo-ohhh
 
If you should find you miss
The sweet and tender love
We used to share
Just come back to the places
Where we used to go
And I'll be there
 
How can I forget you
When there is always something there to remind me?
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you
And I will never be free
When there is
When there is
When, there, is
Always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me.

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
 
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was, this young boy
A stranger to my eyes
 
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
 
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on
 
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
 
He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
And he just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong
 
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
 
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song.

PALO
COMPOSITOR: palo
PAIS: cuba
ÁLBUM: THIS IS AFRO-CUBAN FUNK
DISCOGRÁFICA: rolling pin music
GÉNERO: funk
AÑO: 2009
 
            PALO! fue nominado a un Grammy y un Grammy Latino por su álbum PALO! En Vivo. Ellos interpretan su propio estilo de música cubana al que llaman “Funk afrocubano”. Basta pensar en "salsa funky, jazzy". O mejor aún, escuche algo de su música. El sonido único y bailable del grupo combina el encanto de la música cubana con ritmos funky e improvisación de jazz.
          La banda es un acto destacado en clubes y lugares de música en vivo, festivales, eventos corporativos y eventos privados en todo el mundo. PALO! fue nombrada Mejor Banda de Miami New Times 2012 (Readers 'Choice) y Mejor Banda Latina 2014.
                 The New York Post proclama:
         “Afro-Cuban Funk es música cubana para la nueva generación. ¡Y el líder del sonido es la banda PALO con base en Miami! "
                Historia de la banda
              En 2003, el productor/pianista Steve Roitstein (Celia Cruz, Willy Chirino, Tito Puente, Cheo Feliciano, Oscar d 'Leon) invitó a sus compañeros músicos a unirse a él en un experimento musical improvisado que combinaba música cubana con ritmos funk.
            Las pegadizas canciones originales de PALO! Cuentan con la sensual voz de la cantante Leslie Cartaya, nominada al Grammy Latino. La ardiente percusión y la voz de Raymer Olalde y Dayron Gallardo marcan las actuaciones con fuego cubano. El saxofonista de jazz latino Aldo Salvent aporta una electrizante imprevisibilidad a cada canción. Steve Roitstein fusiona estos elementos con una base de ritmos atrevidos e inolvidables.
Le gusta andar mal vestido
porque le sale más barato
y dice que cuatro trapos
no van a cambiar su estilo
Y camina a lena cuadra
para llegar a su trabajo
llega echo un estropajo
pero no gasta en la guagua
Por eso le dicen todos que camina con los codos
Por eso le dicen todos que camina con los codos
 
Para no gastar corriente
por la noche usa una vela
aunque lea una novela
aunque acabe con los lentes
Los zapatos no los bota
aunque estén todos descosidos
Y usa abrigo para el frío
porque el precio lo provoca
 
Por eso le dicen todos que camina con los codos
Por eso le dicen todos que camina con los codos
 
Si lo ves engurruñao'
es que no ve muy bien de lejos
pero nada de pañuelo
que el gritarle está muy caro
Y si ha pasar por tú lado
se comporta como un mudo
y es que está ahorrando el saludo
que cree que le cuesta caro
Por eso le dicen todos que camina con los codos
Por eso le dicen todos que camina con los codos.
