"Tapestry was placed at #36 on the Rolling Stones top 500 which is the highest placement held by a woman. [1]"
This is wrong. The link shows Joni Mitchell at #30.
[edit] Birth year
Was she not born in 1940, rather than 1942 ?

[edit] Carole King on Broadway
There is no mention in the Carole King bio that she appeared on Broadway, I saw her in a production -- I can't remember the name -- on Broadway some time in the 1990s. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.173.12.197 (talk) 05:07, 15 March 2007 (UTC).
- Broadway information has been added: In 1988 she starred in the off-Broadway production A Minor Incident, and in 1994 she played the role of Mrs. Johnstone on Broadway in Blood Brothers. — Grstain | Talk 20:01, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Which kind of music she performs? Punk? Heavy metal? Disco?
I came to this page to learn which kind of the music Carol King played, and guess what - it is impossible or almost impossible to know on the base of this article. So, after reading it, I still do not know if I'm interested in any album of this artist. More essence, less technicalities. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 78.1.100.228 (talk) 19:22, 12 May 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Carole King Living Room Albumcover.jpg
Image:Carole King Living Room Albumcover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:59, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Article improvement suggestion
The chart in this article mentions only collaborations with Gerry Goffin, then separately cites a few other songs by King in the body of the text. Better is the format of the chart in article about Goffin, which cites collaborative authors in the body of the chart. That chart would allow inclusion of other material attributed to King compactly and in an informative manner (such as "(I'll Do My) Crying in the Rain", an Everly Brothers hit).
Also, the note to "King fans" at the top of this discussion page (as of this writing) might be removed, as it seems incompatible with Wikipedia's "no soapbox" criterion, even though it's embedded in the talk page rather than the article.

[edit] Article improvement suggestion
'Will be inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame in 2007' needs fixing. Deletion may make the best sense, since I'm not sure why the LIMoF award matters to anyone except residents of the greater NYC and Long Island areas.
I'd have changed chronology and been done with this, but after visiting the LIMoF website and confirming the '07 inductees, I couldn't confirm *WHEN* the '07 ceremony was - the LIMoF site is still talking about their upcoming '06 gala. Sigh... At this point, I sort of decided that a two-year-old hall of fame for a region only noteworthy because it serves as a bedroom community for the NYC rich and famous (and that inducts anyone that merely *lived* in Long Island... how low of a bar is THAT!?) -- I didn't **care** if Long Island thinks she's all that and a bag of chips.
In any case, since it is Feb 9th: still Happy Birthday, Carole.

[edit] Heroin, not cocaine
Seems Rick Evers, King's husband, died of a heroine overdose, not cocaine. The Salon article reference about King even says heroine, plus Google finds a lot more references to his dying of heroine than cocaine. Safe bet is heroine (so to speak).Jelsova (talk) 02:04, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
