CAROLE KING : NATURAL WOMAN tells, in Carole’s own words, of her family and her upbringing in Brooklyn and the subsequent success as part of husband and wife songwriting team Goffin & King for Aldon Music in New York City. It was during this era in the early sixties that they created a string of pop hits such as 'Take Good Care of My Baby' for Bobby Vee, ‘The Locomotion’ for Little Eva, and 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow' for the Shirelles, which became the first number 1 hit by a black American girl group. Not to mention the era-defining 'Up On The Roof' for the Drifters, and the magnificent ‘Natural Woman’ for Aretha Franklin.

CAROLE KING : NATURAL WOMAN features previously unseen and rare performance material and home movies, with Carole in a new interview and archive interviews telling her life story as an acclaimed singer-songwriter. INCLUDES 4 BONUS SONGS: Tapestry, So Far Away, I Feel the Earth Move and (You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman.
