Need some motivation?
Look no further than 17-year-old Carole King making a name for herself as a woman composer in a field traditionally dominated by men.

Poetic phrases come to mind
Whenever I find injustice being done
And I wonder, what am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
What can one do except be one?
Talking to two, touching three
Growing to four million
Each of us is one, all of us are one

“Don’t Ever Change” is a 1961 song by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. It’s one of their lesser-known songs, although a version by The Crickets reached the top 5 in the United Kingdom. @thebeatles performed the song on their BBC radio show Pop Go the Beatles, which was later
released on their 1994 compilation “Live at the BBC.” It was taped on August 1, 1963, had its
first broadcast on August 27, 1963 and was a rare harmony duet between @paulmccartney and

Bitter With The Sweet
#ckdeepcuts
I guess it gets to everyone,
you think you’re not having fun
And you wonder what you’re doing
playing the games you play
Hey, well, it’s true what they say
If you want to feel complete
don’t you know that
You’ve got to take the bitter with the sweet
Today and every day, we thank veterans and their families for their service and their sacrifice. #veteransday

“But I think I saw a brand new light
Coming over the horizon
Brighter than all the others
And it says all men are brothers under the skin
Brothers under the skin…”

#tbt “Time Gone By”
The rebel cry of desolation
To which we used to hearken
Echoes now in isolation
As the skies in fury darken
A thousand acts of desecration
Hundreds more continue
When why’know that you are all creation
You’re gonna fight ‘em with all that’s in you
I remember time gone by
When peace and hope and dreams were high
We followed inner visions and touched the sky
Now we who still believe won’t let them die
Waters dammed to overflowing
Like tears brimming over in our eyes
Sometimes it’s so hard to keep on going
When promises turn to lies
Go ahead, give in to confusion
And put aside your ideals, too
Soon you’ll see only illusion
Don’t care who’s hurt
As long as it’s not you
I remember time gone by
When peace and hope and dreams were high
We followed inner visions and touched the sky
Now we who still believe won’t let them die
Sometimes a leader emerges
And is followed for awhile
Doesn’t matter what he encourages
As long as he’s got style
Young ones conceived in a passion
Of directions we thought enlightened
Grown-up, they follow the mood in fashion
But beneath their bravado
You know they’re frightened
I remember time gone by
When peace and hope and dreams were high
We followed inner visions and touched the sky
Now we who still believe won’t let them die
On the first day of filming, Immediate Family documentary, Carole King, and Danny Kortchmar got back together to reminisce. #caroleking #jamestaylor #lindaronstadt #singersongwriter #carolekingtapestry Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles
