Carole King's Tapestry made her a star in 1971, but before most of the album's devotees knew her name, she already had been an enormously ­successful ­songwriter for more than a decade. King and lyricist-­husband Gerry Goffin spent most of the '60s writing hits like Little Eva's "The Loco-Motion" and The Monkees' "Pleasant Valley Sunday" (which reached No. 1 and No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively).

In college she met Gerry Goffin, destined to be her lover and lyricist for the next decade
