Carole King Biography
Carole King (Carol Joan Klei)is an American singer, songwriter “who has been active from 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 between 1955 and 1999. She also wrote 61 hits that charted in the UK, making her the most successful female songwriter on the UK singles charts between 1952 and 2005.
Her’s major success started 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 large 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 album Writer, She 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.

In “Summer,” Sophie appears at the town meeting and is one of the first to sound enthusiastic about Taylor Doose’s idea for Stars Hollow: The Musical. “I love that!” she calls out.
When he asks for volunteers to join the musical’s advisory committee, she joins in alongside Lorelai, Gypsy, Babette, and a few others. After they sit through the show’s first run through, she calls the show “terrific” — basically, everyone likes it besides Lorelai, who is fairly and justifiably horrified.
