The History of Carole King

March 10, 2023

Carole was writing pop hits in her teens. “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,” “Up On The Roof,” “The Loco-Motion,” “One Fine Day.” This alone would be the basis of a standout career. Yet, Carole achieves even greater success in 1971 with the release of her solo album “Tapestry.” It was #1 for four months and stayed on the album chart for over six years! More and even bigger hits. “You’ve Got a Friend”, “So Far Away”, “It’s Too Late”, “I Feel the Earth Move.” Gary Wenstrup tells the amazing story of a young, earnest songwriter whose mix of gently rocking pop, folk, and soul music touched and warmed us all. After a rewarding career in advertising sales, Gary Wenstrup retired and developed courses on the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel and Motown Records for the Continuing Education Departments of College of DuPage and Oakton Community College. He has lectured at over 80 Chicago area libraries. This event is free and open to all. No registration is required.
