With her first husband, Gerry Goffin, she composed popular hits for singers including Aretha Franklin, Little Eva, The Shirelles, and Bobby Vee. As a solo artist, she broke new ground with her 1971 album Tapestry. Since then, King has composed for albums, movies, and television, and for children as well as for adults. She has received numerous awards for her music and performance and has been the subject of a biographical Broadway musical." Click on the link above to read the rest of this biography.
