Wow. Just..WOW! She’s easily one of the greatest singer/songwriter/composer/arrangers ever!! So bummed I’ve never seen her live. Funny…earlier tonight I watched the rebroadcast of PBS’s American masters:Carole King episode. It’s a must watch for any fan. Lots of great early clips. Man I hope she does some US shows sometime soon!
