Artists starting with Carole King

Carole King, “Tapestry” (Ode, 1971)
Deservedly beloved early solo album from the woman who wrote a lot of the classic early-‘60s girl-group hits. This unites the sparkling pop perfection of that stuff with the compositional and personal opening-out of the singer-songwriter era she (and this album) helped inaugurate.
Try 1, 3, 4.
