She wrote of roofs and locomotions, of chains and taking good care of her baby. She was the original natural woman.

She wrote songs for the Drifters, the Shirelles, Little Eva, Arethra Franklin and the Beatles. She wrote songs for everyone else and ultimately, finally, eventually - she wrote songs for herself.

She's Carole King and she wrote *everything* (or near enough).
No, actually, she did.
She wrote everything.
It's a wee bit shocking.

Amy Winehouse - Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow

Grizzly Bear - He Hit Me (And It Felt Like a Kiss)

Wilco - I'm Into Something Good

Carole King - (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman

She also wrote awesome songs for the Monkees. Like "Porpoise Head". Brilliant woman.

I really had no idea she was behind so many perfect songs...
