Happy Birthday to Carole King who is 70-years-old today.

King was born Carol Klein on February 9, 1942 in Manhattan, New York, and grew up in Brooklyn. She was still in her teens when she scored her first number one as a songwriter – the Shirelles’ “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” co-written with her husband Gerry Goffin. The partnership with Goffin would produce some of the most memorable hits of the 1960s, including “One Fine Day,” “Up On The Roof,” “I’m Into Something Good,” and “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman.” The Goffin and King songwriting team was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1987 and into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
