Biografía

Carole King (born February 9, 1942) is an American singer-songwriter and pianist. Her most active years as a singer were during the first half of the 1970s, but her success as a songwriter spans a considerably longer period of over four decades since the early 1960s. King has won four Grammy Awards and has been inducted into both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for her songwriting, along with long-time partner Gerry Goffin. Born Carol Klein in 1942 in Brooklyn, New York to a Jewish household, King started out playing the piano, then moved on to singing, forming a vocal quartet called the Co-Sines at James Madison High School. She attended Queens College, where she was a classmate of Neil Sedaka and inspired Sedaka's first big hit, Oh! Carol, to which she later wrote and recorded a tongue-in-cheek response, Oh! Neil. Along with Sedaka and Goffin, King also befriended Paul Simon at the same college. The Goffin-King partnership Goffin and King soon formed a songwriting partnership, eventually married, and had two daughters, Louise Goffin and Sherry Goffin Ko
