Biography

American singer and songwriter, born February 9 1942, Brooklyn, New York City. Formed vocal group Co-Sines in 1957 whilst at High School and adopted the stage name Carole King. Dated [a=Neil Sedaka] at this time. Met [a=Gerry Goffin] at Queens College with whom she formed a songwriting partnership and married in 1960. Their first big hit was "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" by The Shirelles in 1961. Goffin and King split personally and professionally in 1968 (children: [a=Louise Goffin], Sherry Goffin Kondor), although they did work together later on. Carole King was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1987 and in 2002 became a recipient of the Songwriters Hall of Fame "Johnny Mercer Award". She formed [a401287] with [a252395] and [a318609]. She married Larkey in 1968, but The City was short-lived and disbanded after one album. In 1970 she toured with James Taylor and launched her solo career with "Writer" and then the classic "Tapestry". The hit albums continued and in 1976 she divorced from Charles Larkey (children: Molly & Levi). In 1977 she married songwriting partner Rick Evers. Evers died a year later from a heroin overdose. She is active in environmental issues and more recently campaigned on behalf of the US Democratic Party, whilst continuing to write songs and perform.

LYRICS

Little prince - livin' in a dream world
Using everybody at your beck and call
You could have it all
If you only knew who you really are
Little prince - livin' in a fantasy
You're lonely, though illusion keeps you company
Take a look around
Does your little town exist
Or is it just too far from your reality

I know it can't be very easy
To be brought up treated royally
To have so-called friends all around
Who cater to you loyally
Don't it make you wonder
As you listen for the thunder

Little prince - though you may deny it
There's something in the quiet
Of your deepest soul
That's an empty hole
Though I know you don't
Want to hear it
You will never find your spirit
Until you see and be
Who you really are

Little prince, oh, little prince
You know who you are
