Long before she was Carole King, chart-topping music legend, she was Carol Klein, Brooklyn girl with passion
and chutzpah. She fought her way into the record business as a teenager and, by the time she reached her
twenties, had the husband of her dreams and a flourishing career writing hits for the biggest acts in rock ‘n’
roll. But it wasn’t until her personal life began to crack that she finally managed to find her true voice.
Beautiful tells the inspiring true story of King’s remarkable rise to stardom, from being part of a hit songwriting team
with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her relationship with fellow writers and best friends Cynthia Weil and Barry
Mann, to becoming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history. Along the way, she made
more than beautiful music, she wrote the soundtrack to a generation.
Beautiful features a stunning array of beloved songs written by Gerry Goffin/Carole King and Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil, including “I Feel The Earth Move,” “One Fine Day,” “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” “You’ve Got A Friend” and the title
song.
