ʻO Carol Joan Kline ka inoa maoli o ka mea mele kaulana ʻAmelika, i ʻike ʻia e nā mea a pau o ka honua i kēia lā ʻo Carol King. I nā makahiki 1960 o ke kenekulia i hala, ua haku ʻo lāua me kāna kāne i kekahi mau mele kaulana i mele ʻia e nā mea hoʻokani ʻē aʻe. Akā ʻaʻole lawa kēia iā ia. I nā makahiki he umi e hiki mai ana, ua kaulana ke kaikamahine ma ke'ano he mea kākau wale nō, akā, he mea ho'okani akamai ho'i.
ʻO nā makahiki mua, ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hana a Carol King
Ua hānau ʻia ka hōkū e hiki mai ana o ka ʻAmelika i ka lā 9 Pepeluali, 1942. ʻO ka ʻāina hānau ka apana hanohano kaulana o Manhattan. Ua ʻike ʻia kona mau akamai noʻonoʻo iā ia mai ka wā kamaliʻi. I ka piha ʻana o ke kaikamahine liʻiliʻi he 4 mau makahiki, ua aʻo mua ʻo ia e pāʻani i ka piano a hana maikaʻi. I ka makahiki kula, ua kākau ʻo ia i nā mele a me nā mele mua, no laila ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia e hana i kahi hui mele piha.
Ua kapa ʻia ka hui ʻo The Co-Sines a ʻike nui i ka hana leo. Ua kākau ka hui i kekahi mau mele, a hoʻomaka hoʻi e hoʻokani i nā keʻena kūloko. Ua kamaʻāina ka mea mele i ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana o ke kahua. Ua hele mai ka pōhaku a me ka ʻōwili, i nā ʻaha mele mele a Carol i hoʻokō ai.
I loko o kāna mau makahiki haumāna, ua hui ka mea mele i nā mea koʻikoʻi no kāna ʻoihana e hiki mai ana, e like me Jerry Goffin. Ua hui pū ʻo ia me Carol e hana i kahi duo leo. Me ia i ka makahiki 1960, ua kākau ʻo ia i nā haku mele kaulana a male iā ia.
Ua hoʻolaʻa ʻo Neil Sedaka i kāna mele i ka mea hoʻokani ma ka hopena o nā makahiki 1950. Ua kapa ʻia ka mele ʻO! Carol a lilo i mea kaulana loa, e paʻi ana i kekahi mau pākuʻi paʻi i ka manawa o 1950-1960. ʻO kēia ka haʻi mua ʻana o ka mea pena ma nā pakuhi. Ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia e pane i ka mea hoʻokani ma ke ʻano like a hoʻopaʻa i kahi mele pane. ʻO ke mele, ʻaʻole i kaulana loa. Ma kahi o ka manawa like, ua hana ʻia kahi duet me kahi hoa kāne e hiki mai ana.
ʻO ka mea hoihoi, ʻo kahi mua a lākou i hana pū ai, ʻo ia kekahi o nā hui hoʻopuka. Ma ʻaneʻi ua kākau lākou i nā mele a me nā mele no ka manawa lōʻihi no nā mea hoʻokani kaulana i hoʻopaʻa i nā haku mele a he mau malihini ma ka hale hoʻokahi kahi i hana ai ʻo Goffin lāua ʻo Kline.
Lanakila Carol King
ʻO ka mele kaulana mua i hōʻike ʻia ai ka mea kākau o kēia tandem ʻo ia ka haku ʻana o The Shirelles Will You Love Me Tomorrow. He mea kupanaha ka holomua o ia mele. I loko o nā lā o kona hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana, ua ʻoi aku ka mele ma luna o nā palapala palapala US, me ka Billboard Hot 100 kaulana.
ʻO kekahi o kēia mau haku mele, i kākau ʻia e nā mea kākau kaulana, ua lilo pū kekahi i mea hits. Ua loaʻa koke i ka male ke kaulana a me ka mana ma ke ʻano he haku mele. I kēia manawa e kapa ʻia lākou he poʻe hitmaker maoli.
ʻO ka huina, i ka wā o ka hana a kēia tandem ma ke ʻano he mea kākau, ua kākau lākou ma luna o 100 hits (ʻo ia hoʻi, kēlā mau mele i noho i nā kūlana alakaʻi ma nā pakuhi a kaulana loa). Inā lawe mākou i nā mele a pau i kākau ʻia, a laila hiki iā mākou ke helu ma mua o 200.
Ma ka like, ua moe ʻo Carol e lilo i mele kaulana iā ia iho. ʻO ka mea hoʻohenehene, ʻaʻole kaulana kēlā mau mele āna i kākau ai no ka poʻe hoʻolohe. Hoʻokahi wale nō mele, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka makahiki 1960, i hiki ke komo i ka 30 kiʻekiʻe o nā mele maikaʻi loa e like me ka Billboard Hot 100.
Ua hoʻoikaika kēia i ka mea mele ma hope o nā hoʻāʻo lōʻihi me ka wikiwiki ʻole. I ka makahiki 1965, ua komo ʻo ia i kahi hui ikaika me Al Aronowitz. ʻO kēia ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kā lākou hui mele ʻo Tomorrow Records. ʻO kekahi o nā mea hoʻokani pila i hoʻopaʻa i nā mele ma kēia keena, ma hope o kekahi manawa ua lilo i kāne na King (ma hope o ka pau ʻana o kāna pilina me Griff).
Nā lālā o ke kūlanakauhale
Me ia, i ka hopena o 1960s, ua hana ʻia ka hui ʻo The City. ʻO ka huina, ua komo ka hui i ʻekolu mau kānaka, me Carol. Ua hoʻopaʻa ka poʻe mele i ka album Now That Everything's Been Said, i hiki ke ʻae iā lākou e mākaʻikaʻi. Ma muli o ka makaʻu nui o Carol i ka lehulehu, ʻaʻole i hiki i ka hui ke hana ʻahamele no ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka album. Ma keʻano maʻamau, ua hoʻopilikia nui kēia i nā kūʻai.
Ua lilo ka album i "hane" maoli a ʻaʻole kūʻai aku. Eia naʻe, ma hope o kekahi manawa ua puʻunaue pono ʻia. A ua hoʻomaka kekahi mau mele e hoʻolohe ʻia e ka lehulehu ākea (akā ua hana kēia ma hope o ka piʻi ʻana o ka kaulana o King).
Ma hope o ka hoʻokolohua ʻana me ka hui ʻo The City, hoʻomaka ka mea mele e ʻimi i kahi ʻoihana solo. ʻO ka mea kākau mele mua loa ʻo Writer. Ua kaulana nā mele mai nā album ma kekahi mau pōʻai. Eia naʻe,ʻaʻohe pono e kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka piʻiʻana o ka kaulana. A laila kākau ka mea hoʻokani i ka disc ʻelua.
I ka makahiki 1971, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album Tapestry, i lilo i lanakila no King. Ua kūʻaiʻia aku he mau miliona kope, ua komo nā mele i ka 100 kiʻekiʻe loa (e like me ka Billboard), ua hoʻomaka ka mea mele e hoʻolohe i waho. No nā pule he 60 i ka lālani, aia ka album ma nā ʻano kiʻekiʻe a pau. He hoʻomaka maikaʻi kēia album i kāna ʻoihana hoʻokahi a ua hoʻoikaika i ka kūleʻa o kēia mau moʻolelo.
Rhymes & Reasons and Wrap Around Joy (1974) kūʻai maikaʻi ʻia a hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia e ka lehulehu. Ua hoʻomaka ka ʻoihana o King ma ke ʻano he mele hoʻokahi. Hāʻawi ʻo ia i nā ʻaha mele, hoʻopaʻa i nā mele hou. Ma ka waena waena o 1970s, hui hou ʻo Carol a me kāna kāne mua no ka hoʻomohala ʻana a hoʻopaʻa i kahi album, i kaulana pū kekahi. Ua hoʻokūpaʻa kēia i ka holomua o ka mea pena.
ʻO nā makahiki hope o Carol King
I ka makahiki 1980, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo King i kāna hoʻokuʻu hope loa (kalepa). ʻAʻole ʻo Pearls he album, akā he hōʻiliʻili o nā hoʻopaʻa leo ola e hōʻike ana iā Carol e hana ana i nā mele i kākau pū ʻia e lāua a me Goffin. Ma hope o kēlā, ʻaʻole haʻalele ka mea mele i ke mele.
Akā ua hoʻomaka ka puka ʻana mai o nā mea hou. Ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e nānā nui i nā pilikia kaiapuni, ua komo i nā ʻano hana pale. ʻO ka hoʻokuʻu hou ʻana ʻo The Living Room Tour compilation, kahi hoʻopaʻa leo o kahi huakaʻi i hana ʻia ma waena o 2000s.
