Carole King – 1942
Singer and songwriter Carole King had a penchant for music when she was a toddler. However, it was after marrying Gerry Goffin that Carole started concentrating on her songwriting. Though she wrote for others, she didn’t release her own album until the 1970s. She wrote songs like Take Good Care Of My Baby for Bobby Vee, I’m Into Something Good by Earl Jean, A Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin. Finally, she debuted with her album Writer, but it was not as much of a success as her other albums.
Her big break came with her album Tapestry. Meanwhile, she also had a divorce with her husband. However, her successful career and her children kept her extremely busy. Later she married again, not once but thrice. She is divorced now and not thinking of retirement though she is 76. Currently, on Broadway, there’s a play dedicated to the entire life of Carole King, which is constantly selling out tickets. Here’s wishing to her good health!
