An iconic singer/songwriter, Carole King's career began in the 1950s, and she has been active in the music scene ever since, most recently using her musical talent to support various philanthropic causes ranging from the protection of wild horses to raising money for victims of gun violence. Known for occasionally touring with fellow troubadour James Taylor, King treats ticket buyers to unforgettable experiences enriched by her strong, clear voice, dynamic personality and sometimes even a high-tech rotating stage. She most recently released, "I Believe In Loving You," an iTunes-exclusive single co-written with Hal David, in May 2013.
King began collaborating with her songwriting partner, Gerry Goffin, throughout the 1960s, and together they penned songs that were eventually sang by musical superstars, such as The Beatles and Aretha Franklin. However, it was King's "Tapestry" album, released in 1971, that propelled her career as a solo artist. It topped the Billboard album charts for 15 consecutive weeks and earned four Grammy Awards. A live concert album, titled "The Living Room Tour" was released in 2005 and was notable for being her highest ranking effort since the 1970s once it landed in the top 20 of the Billboard 200 chart. In May 2013, President Obama presented King with the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, and it was the first time that accolade had ever been awarded to a female songwriter. The coming months seem likely to bring continued successes for King. She'll be recognized as the MusiCares Person of the Year due to her artistic merit and charitable contributions, and a Broadway musical based on her life will open in late January, featuring a soundtrack of chart-topping tunes from her extensive discography.

Very enjoyable, a good show. I believe that we were in temporary seating, but that made it so that people were less apt to get up to go somewhere, since there was not much in the way of foot room. The sound was good too!
It just sucked. They were in the round so you could only see them 1/4 of the time. Ended up watching the big screens more than them. I would really be pissed if I paid big bucks to sit up front. The sound was lousy being projected 360 degrees from the center of the arena so you got it from all directions. The fat lady next to us sang along loudly with every song and started to smell like a fat lady halfway through the concert.
A concert of a lifetime for me. What a joy to hear them together and see and hear what great musicians can do well into a long career.
Fantastic! Wonderful! I would go again! Both were great!
I took my dad to see James Taylor and Carole King. They can still sing great and they really compliment each other! Amazing! My dad loved it!
My partner and I went to see this concert it was absolutely outstanding. The way these two sing and move together is unbelievable. I saw these two in concert back in the late 70's and they still gave me goose bumps. CK has such a way of belting out those notes, and JT is so soft, they make a perfect pair. Carole King is such a gifted song writer and performer
The bass guitar was a bit overbearing and upstaged james taylor's voice.Carole's voice was less buries by the bass. greaT SHOW .
I actually bought the tix for Mother's/Father's Day. I didn't go to the show, since tix were $106.50 each after tax and surcharges and I also had to work. Mom and Step Dad loved it though. A great place to see a show! I was worried about their view when I bought the tix, The seats were lower level, but on the left side, close to the rear of the stage, I wasn't sure, But when they got home, I found out the stage spins, so everyone gets a great view, I can only imagine JT and CK playing that night. Would have brought back some great memories of shows I've been to.
I am from the Philippines and just happened to watch your concert in St. Louis. It was really a good concert with Taylor and King taking turns in singing their famous songs. I love the variety and it was so good to hear them sing the song "You've got a friend". I always love that song and to see them perform the song together was an experience in a lifetime for me. Congratulations to James Taylor and Carole King. They are great and I love them!
