King toured the US in 2004 and 2005 with an intimate show where fans
felt as if they had been invited into her private living room. Carole
sang all of her hit songs and told stories about how she got started as a
songwriter and legendary artist. In 2005, the concert was captured on
video. We are proud to present this extraordinary event for the first
time on DVD.
"Welcome To My Living Room" not only features nearly
two hours of hit songs, but also includes some exciting and rare bonus
features that will allow fans access where they've never been before -
during rehearsals, backstage and even during the writing of an actual
song! The DVD, made from a High Definition master, includes all of
Carole's between-song stories and is packaged in an environmentally
friendly digipack.
Carole King - while the landmark Tapestry
album earned her superstar status, singer/songwriter Carole King had
already firmly established herself as one of pop music's most gifted and
successful composers, with work recorded by everyone from the Beatles
to Aretha Franklin. Born Carole Klein on February 9, 1942, in Brooklyn,
NY, she began playing piano at the age of four, and formed her first
band, the vocal quartet the Co-Sines, while in high school.
A
devotee of the composing team of Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller (the duo
behind numerous hits for Elvis Presley, the Coasters, and Ben E. King),
she became a fixture at influential DJ Alan Freed's local rock &
roll shows; while attending Queens College, she fell in with budding
songwriters Paul Simon and Neil Sedaka as well as Gerry Goffin, with
whom she forged a writing partnership.
In 1959, Sedaka scored a
hit with "Oh! Carol," written in her honor; King cut an answer record,
"Oh! Neil," but it stiffed. She and Goffin, who eventually married,
began writing under publishers Don Kirshner and Al Nevins in the famed
pop songwriting house the Brill Building, where they worked alongside
the likes of Doc Pomus, Mort Shuman, Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich, and
countless others.
In 1961, Goffin and King scored their first hit
with the Shirelles' chart-topping "Will You Love Me Tomorrow"; their
next effort, Bobby Vee's "Take Good Care of My Baby," also hit number
one, as did "The Locomotion," recorded by their babysitter, Little Eva.
Together, the couple wrote over 100 chart hits in a vast range of
styles, including the Chiffons' "One Fine Day," the Monkees' "Pleasant
Valley Sunday," the Drifters' "Up on the Roof," the Cookies' "Chains"
(later covered by the Beatles), Aretha Franklin's "(You Make Me Feel)
Like a Natural Woman," and the Crystals' controversial "He Hit Me (And
It Felt Like a Kiss)."
King also continued her attempts to mount a
solo career, but scored only one hit, 1962's "It Might as Well Rain
Until September." In the mid-'60s she, Goffin, and columnist Al
Aronowitz founded their own short-lived label, Tomorrow Records; Charles
Larkey, the bassist for the Tomorrow group the Myddle Class, eventually
became King's second husband after her marriage to Goffin dissolved.
She and Larkey later moved to the West Coast, where in 1968 they founded
the City, a trio rounded out by New York musician Danny Kortchmar.
The
City recorded one LP, Now That Everything's Been Said, but did not tour
due to King's stage fright; as a result, the album was a commercial
failure, although it did feature songs later popularized by the Byrds
("Wasn't Born to Follow"), Blood, Sweat & Tears ("Hi-De-Ho"), and
James Taylor ("You've Got a Friend").
Taylor and King ultimately
became close friends, and he encouraged her to pursue a solo career.
Released in 1970, Writer proved a false start, but in 1971 she released
Tapestry, which stayed on the charts for over six years and was the
best-selling album of the era. A quiet, reflective work that proved
seminal in the development of the singer/songwriter genre, Tapestry also
scored a pair of hit singles, "So Far Away" and the chart-topping "It's
Too Late," whose flip side, "I Feel the Earth Move," garnered major
airplay as well.
Issued in 1971, Music also hit number one, and
generated the hit "Sweet Seasons"; 1972's Rhymes & Reasons reached
number two on the charts and 1974's Wrap Around Joy, which featured the
hit "Jazzman," hit the number one spot.
In 1975, King and Goffin
reunited to write Thoroughbred, which also featured contributions from
James Taylor, David Crosby, and Graham Nash. After 1977's Simple Things,
she mounted a tour with the backing group Navarro and married her
frequent songwriting partner Rick Evers, who died a year later after a
heroin overdose. Pearls, a collection of performances of songs written
during her partnership with Goffin, was released in 1980 and was her
last significant hit, and King soon moved to a tiny mountain village in
Idaho, where she became active in the environmental movement.
After
1983's Speeding Time, she took a six-year hiatus from recording before
releasing City Streets, which featured guest Eric Clapton. In 2001, she
returned with Love Makes the World, a self-released disc on her own
Rockingale label. Four years passed before her next record, The Living
Room Tour, a double-disc set documenting her intimate 2004-2005 tour
that found her revisiting songs from throughout her career with only her
piano and acoustic guitars as accompaniment. King joined longtime
friend James Taylor for a co-starring show at L.A.�s famed Troubadour
venue in 2007, and the pair followed it with several more shows,
resulting in the Live at the Troubadour release in 2010.
