Carole King came to my rescue when I was 10 years old. I had injured myself on a field trip at Wonderland Elementary. Our street was very steep and she saw me struggling going home. She stopped and offered me a ride home and I was so happy someone was helping me. That day, she was just a mom trying to help. A moment I will never forget.

'Will you still love me tomorrow' has to be my favourite song of all time.

I love Carole beyond words...So talented, so strong yet so vulnerable....A national treasure to be sure....

Carol in concert is a joy. When I saw her in 2010, she projected the enthusiasm and energy of a teenager.

I just got back last night from watching “Beautiful” at the Moonlight Amphitheater here in Vista. I had no idea she wrote a lot of the songs I knew growing up. What a LEGEND

[davidcattin]

And these songs sound as fresh as ever. Can't see us saying that about today's music in 50 years.

Loved this woman since I was a young man

Incredibly grateful for Carole King, she's transformed and immensely touched our lives forever with her creative gift she adorned and filled every arena. Saw her and JT (James Taylor) perform at The Troubadour, a magical evening filled with joy, tears and laughter! I love you Ms. King for your personal messages embedded in your songs....🎵

My heart is full right now with the joy of Carole King's messages of love and life through her music. Indeed God gave you a gift. Love Gabriel always

I saw the play Beautiful at the Hippodrome in Baltimore. So it wasn't the original Broaday actors but that didn't detract from how awesome this play was. I will forever love Carole's music as it was the soundtrack of my childhood growing up in Passaic, NJ and listening to our hometown Shirelles sing Will You Love Me Tomorrow. Thank you Carole and Gerry Goffin for all the "Beautiful" you music you wrote together.

[VarongTangkitphithakphon]

She's one of the most adorable and kind artist i ever seen in my whole life. Wish her come back create new music again.
