Monday, 12 Jan 2004 at 11:30 am – Campanile Room, Memorial Union

Carole King is a singer and songwriter who has devoted much of her time to wilderness issues in the northern Rockies. Following her 1961 hit "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" by the Shirelles, she wrote what comprises one of the most remarkable lists of hits in pop history, including "The Loco-Motion," "Take Good Care Of My Baby," "One Fine Day," "Go Away Little Girl," "Up On The Roof," "I Can't Stay Mad At You," "I'm Into Something Good," "Pleasant Valley Sunday," "Just Once In My Life," "Hey, Girl," "Chains," and "Sharing You," among, many, many others. Her album Tapestry included "It's Too Late," "I Feel The Earth Move," "So Far Away," "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" and "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" - co-written with Jerry Wexler.
