Carole King Instagram - Raise your hand if you’ve ever related to the lyrics of “It’s Too Late.” Though people often mistakenly attribute the lyrics to me, they were written by Toni Stern. It was more than a half century ago when she handed them to me, typewritten, on a sheet of paper. I remember sitting down at the piano with the lyrics on the stand and hearing the music come out of me pretty much as you hear it on Tapestry. Toni passed away on Wednesday, January 17, 2024. 😢 She was the first person after Gerry Goffin that I wrote with and had hits with, for example, “Where You Lead” and “Sweet Seasons.” When I moved to California in 1968, she was the epitome of a free-spirited Laurel Canyon woman. She lived in a hillside house with her dog, Arf, surrounded by books, record albums, plants and macrame. We both had curly hair, and she called me “Curly Girl.” We shared a love for horses, and we wanted everyone in the world to be kind and compassionate. Toni was also a poet. Her poems, not necessarily in rhyme, are quirky observations or anecdotes that take a surprising turn. Often, on my first read, they evoked a chuckle. You can find her poems on Instagram @tonisternpoet. In the hereafter I imagine Toni riding bareback on a horse on a beach thinking of new ways to say things we all feel. And I know she’d join me in being grateful that our connection continues to live on in your appreciation of our songs. My deepest sympathy to Toni’s lifelong partner, Jerry, and her family and friends. 🙏🏻

Carole King Instagram - Repost from @lostcanyonsla • “If the Sunset Strip was the commercial center of the pop music and club scene in 1968, Laurel Canyon was its residential center. Wannabe rock stars and groupies waited on line at night to get into clubs on Sunset Boulevard, reveled in both the music and the scene, then crashed in the bedrooms of Laurel Canyon. “You could drive along the winding roads of the Canyon any time of day or night and see people in varying degrees of substance-induced consciousness. The drugs of choice were mostly hallucinogens - marijuana, psilocybin, and LSD, or, as they were called in the parking lot of the Canyon Country Store, pot, shrooms, and acid. As I drove up and down the Canyon in the Mustang with the top down, I could hear music from the side canyons competing with the tunes coming out of my car radio. I could never tell if the local music was live or recorded, but music was always in the air and on the air.” - Carole King from her memoir “A Natural Woman.” 📷 Unknown #caroleking #singersongwriter #folkmusic #folksinger #classicrock #laurelcanyon #1960smusic #1970smusic

Carole King Instagram - Repost @immediatefamilyfilm *** This week in January of 1976, Carole King’s 7th solo album “Thoroughbred” was released on Ode records, produced by Lou Adler.
