Carole King dominated the 1960's with her killer songwriting attributes and later elongated her conquest in the 1970's with her singer-songwriter abilities. Growing up in Brooklyn, NY, she learned to play piano at 4 years old. Here's a glimpse of her career until 1999: King wrote/co-wrote 118 pop hits on the Billboard Hot 100--you probably just made a sandwich. She made 25 solo albums, the most successful being Tapestry. Tapestry held the No. 1 spot for 15 consecutive weeks, remained on the charts for nearly six years, and has sold over 25 million copies worldwide. Her most popular song "You've Got a Friend" won Song of the Year. Then again, who needs 4 Grammys when you have tuna salad on whole wheat.
