Carole King is a Actor and Sound American born on 9 february 1942 at Brooklyn (USA)
Carole King (born February 9, 1942) is an American composer and singer-songwriter.
King's career began in the 1960s when she, along with her then husband Gerry Goffin, wrote more than two dozen chart hits for numerous artists, many of which have become standards. 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, King 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 2000 Billboard pop music researcher Joel Whitburn named King the most successful female songwriter of 1955–99 because she wrote or co-wrote 118 pop hits on the Billboard Hot 100. King wrote 61 hits that charted in the UK. In 2005 music historian Stuart Devoy found her the most successful female songwriter on the UK singles charts 1952–2005.
King has made 25 solo albums, the most successful being Tapestry, which held the record for most weeks at No. 1 by a female artist for more than 20 years. Her most recent non-compilation album was Live at the Troubadour in 2010, a collaboration with James Taylor that reached number 4 on the charts in its first week and has sold over 600,000 copies.
She has won four Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for her songwriting. She is the recipient of the 2013 Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, the first woman to be so honored.
Gerry Goffin et Carole King, qui se sont mariés, ont formé un duo réputé pour la composition de chansons pendant les années 1960. Leur premier succès fut Will You Love Me Tomorrow, interprété par les Shirelles en 1961.
Parmi leurs nombreuses compositions qui ont eu du succès, on trouve : Take Good Care of My Baby (par Bobby Vee), The Loco-Motion (par Little Eva, puis par Grand Funk Railroad et Kylie Minogue), One Fine Day (The Chiffons), Pleasant Valley Sunday (The Monkees), Up on the Roof (par The Drifters, puis par James Taylor), Chains (par The Cookies puis par les Beatles), (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman (Aretha Franklin) et He Hit Me (and It Felt Like a Kiss) (The Crystals).
Carole King a aussi remporté un succès public en interprétant sa propre composition It Might As Well Rain Until September (1962).
Carole King a formé le groupe « The City » avec Danny Kortchmar et Charles Larkey qu’elle a épousé après avoir divorcé de Goffin. Leur album Now That Everything's Been Said fut un échec commercial, de même que Writer (1970).
Elle connut le succès avec l'album Tapestry (1971), contenant les chansons It's Too Late et You've Got a Friend, qui se vendit à 23 millions d’exemplaires et la rendit très célèbre comme compositrice et interprète. Ses albums suivants ont été aussi bien reçus : Music (1971), Rhymes and Reasons (1972) et Wrap Around Joy (1974).
En 1973, Carole King fit un concert gratuit en plein air, à Central Park (New York), qui a attiré plus de 100 000 personnes.
Goffin et King ont repris leur collaboration pour composer son album Thoroughbred (1975) avec David Crosby, Graham Nash et James Taylor.
Carole King s’est mariée avec un autre compositeur, Rick Evers, après avoir réalisé Simple Things (1977). Son nouveau mari est mort d’une overdose à l’héroïne une année plus tard, en mars 1978.
En 1978, elle a réalisé l’album Welcome Home, où elle rend hommage à Rick Evers (il joue sur Venusian Diamond).

A recently released psychiatric patient named Tom Sykes creates a home for himself in the attic of the Dreyer family's newly built house. He uses electronic devices to spy on them. The Dreyer's beloved dog Rudolph is murdered by Tom in an attempt to defend his family from the titular hider. After that, Tom really begins to get down to the business. He starts to focus his attention on the mom, Julie, going so far as to watch her skinny dip in the pool. He interferes secretly in the relationship between Julie and her husband, Phil, planting bogus evidence of secret love affairs. He befriends the Sykes' son Neal and teaches him fighting techniques. After two explosive arguments, Phil leaves the house and moves into a hotel. Seeing this as an opportunity, Sykes pretends to be a visitor who lives on Willmington St. a couple of blocks over. His attempt to insinuate himself into their lives works at first, although the creepy neighbor (and huge Philly fan) Gene is the only one who distrusts him. Sykes murders two people who had accidentally discovered his bizarre goings-on and finally Julie becomes sufficiently suspicious to reject his advances. Tom loses it, and he tries to kill Julie. Phil shows up and is severely injured defending her while Julie gets a gun and shoots Tom in the chest. This does not kill him, and Tom gets up and tries to kill both Julie and himself, but the cops (summoned by the nice but still weird Gene) shoot Tom dead from the doorway.

In 1980, on the night he fails to win an Emmy Award, Matt Hobbs proposes to his longtime girlfriend Beth. He says the only thing holding him back is his dedication to his career, one which may not always work out, and Beth says that's one of the things she loves most about him. Little more than a year later, with a baby crying and no job for Matt, Beth is overflowing with resentment. By 1993, the pair have been divorced for several years and are living on opposite coasts. Matt auditions for a role in pompous, self-absorbed, and clueless film producer Burke Adler's new project but fails to get the part. He does however agree to chauffeur Adler occasionally. Matt flies to Georgia to pick up his daughter Jeannie for what he believes is a brief visit and discovers Beth is facing a prison term and Jeannie will be living with him for the duration of her sentence. The two return to Hollywood and struggle with their new circumstances and building a relationship (Matt hasn't seen the six-year-old since she was four). When Matt goes in to make a screen test for a lead in a film, he leaves Jeannie with a friend at the studio, and when he picks her up he's stunned to learn she's been cast in a sitcom. There are multiple sub-plots, including one focusing on Matt's relationship with staff script-reader Cathy Breslow and another concerning test screening analyst Nan Mulhanney and her tumultuous relationship with Adler. While a large part of the film is a satire of the film industry, it also skewers relationships from various angles.
