Carole King started her career in the late 1950s as a staff songwriter at the Brill Building, co-writing massive hits like 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow' for the Shirelles. However, she became a legend in her own right with the 1971 release of 'Tapestry.' The album was a cultural phenomenon, staying on the charts for over six years and winning four Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year. 'Tapestry' redefined the singer-songwriter genre, focusing on personal, relatable themes of friendship and self-discovery. Songs like 'It’s Too Late' and 'You’ve Got a Friend' became the soundtrack for a generation. King is one of the most successful female songwriters in history, with over 100 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 penned by her. She is a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, both as a songwriter and a performer.
