Carole King
The Essential Carole King
It’s hard to imagine what rock-’n’-roll would be without the doo-wop, finger-popping influence of Carole King. This double-disc retro package ensures we need not. Here are almost two hours’ worth of the singer/songwriter’s finest moments, sung by the folks who made them famous like The Shirelles, Bobby Vee, and Aretha Franklin, as well as by King herself.
