The Loco-motion was a popular dance craze in the 1960s promoted by a song of the same name written by Carole King and Gerry Goffen for their babysitter, Little Eva.

Don’t worry, we’re not going to loco-mote for this afternoon’s dance break, but we will explore the Carole King thing a little further.

She celebrated a birthday on Tuesday – Happy 74th, Carole! – and has been celebrated herself quite a bit of late: recipient of the 2013 Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, the first woman to be so honored, and a 2015 Kennedy Center Honoree. (source: Wikipedia)

Although she has written star-making music for others throughout her career, her heyday as a vocalist came in the early 1970s with the release of her Tapestry album. Everyone in my peer group not only owned that LP but also wore out the grooves. 
​
So now it’s time for a nostalgic Carole King Playlist. Turn up the volume, get up from your chair, and give in to the soft rock!
