In this broadcast, a two-hour tribute to American composer and singer Carole King. King's career began in the 1960s when she, along with 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 came in the 1970s, when she sang her own songs, accompanying herself on the piano, in a series of albums and concerts. Her album "Tapestry," topped the U.S. album chart for 15 weeks in 1971 and remained on the charts for more than six years. King is the recipient of 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. She is also a 2015 Kennedy Center Honoree. Produced by Spike Priggen.
