Carole King isn't just a name; she's a legend. Born Carol Klein in 1942, this Brooklyn native turned the music world on its head with her knack for songwriting. By the time she was a teen, she was already churning out hits with then-husband Gerry Goffin. "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" by The Shirelles? Pure gold.

Tracks like "It's Too Late" and "You've Got a Friend" became anthems, showcasing her soulful voice and raw, emotional lyrics. This wasn't just music; it was therapy set to a piano.
