Carole King cuyo nombre real es Carol Joan Klein es una cantante, pianista y compositora estadounidense. Su época de mayor actividad como compositora fue en los años 60, y como cantante fue durante la década de los '70, si bien tanto antes como después ha tenido considerable aceptación como compositora.

King ha ganado cuatro premios Grammy y ha sido incluida en el Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll y en el Salón de la Fama de los Compositores por su trabajo, junto con su compañero Gerry Goffin.

Con Goffin, King escribió más de dos docenas de éxitos para numerosos artistas durante los años 1960, muchos de los cuales se han convertido en estándares.

Como cantante, ha realizado 25 álbumes en solitario, siendo su álbum Tapestry el más exitoso de su carrera al encabezar la lista de álbumes de Estados Unidos durante 15 semanas en 1971, y permanecer en las listas durante más de seis años. Además, Tapestry mantuvo el récord de álbum interpretado por una solista como número uno durante más tiempo, sólo superado por Whitney Houston con El Guardaespaldas y por Adele y su álbum 21.[cita requerida]

Tuvo mucho éxito como intérprete en la primera mitad de la década de 1970, a pesar de que fuera una compositora de éxito mucho antes y que después lo haya seguido siendo. Tuvo su primer número 1 en las listas Billboard como compositora en 1961 a los 19 años, con "Will You Love Me Tomorrow", interpretada por "The Shirelles" que escribió con Gerry Goffin. En 1997, co-escribió "The Reason" de Aerosmith, aunque fue cantada por Céline Dion.

Además ha co-escrito más de 118 éxitos del pop en el Billboard Hot 100 según Joel Withmore que publicó en el 2000 en la revista Billboard, convirtiéndola en la compositora más exitosa entre los años 1955 y 1999. Wikipedia

Carole King: Frases en inglés

“I think I'm going back
To the things I learned so well
In my youth.
I think I'm returning to
The days when I was young enough
To know the truth.”

Carole King

Goin' Back (1966), Co-written with Gerry Goffin
Song lyrics, Singles

“He gets up each morning and he goes downtown
Where everyone's his boss,
And he's lost in an angry land.
He's a little man.
But then he comes uptown
Each evening to my tenement.
Uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent.
And when he's there with me.
He can see that he's everything.
The man is tall, he don't crawl. He's a king.”

'Cause you've taken her away.
And though it really hurts me so,
There's something that I've gotta say.Take good care of my baby.

Just tell her that you love her.
Make sure you're thinking of her
In everything you say and do.”

“If you're out on the road,
Feeling lonely, and so cold,
All you have to do is call my name
And I'll be there on the next train.Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to.

I will follow where you lead.”

Where You Lead, co-written with Toni Stern
Song lyrics, Tapestry (1971)

“Only love is real.
Everything else illusion
Adding to the confusion of the way we connive
At being alive.
Tracing a line till we can define
The thing that allows us to feel.
Only love is real.”

Only Love Is Real
Song lyrics, Thoroughbred (1976)

“When my soul was in the lost and found,
You came along to claim it.
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it.
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for,
Cause if I make you happy I don't need to do more.”

(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman (1967), Co-written with Gerry Goffin and Jerry Wexler, first recorded by Aretha Franklin
Song lyrics, Singles

“The local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn their song.
They serenade the weekend squire
Who just came out to mow his lawn.
Another pleasant valley Sunday.
Charcoal burning everywhere.
Rows of houses that are all the same.
And no one seems to care.”

I feel the sky tumbling down — tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around.”

“When my friends told me you had someone new
I didn't believe a single word was true.

Who lead you on and tell you lies.”
