On Friday, The Mauch Chunk Opera House will present Home Again: The Music of Carole King.
Home Again leaves no stone unturned, covering the entire repertoire of the multi-award winning singer/songwriter.
Included on the list are songs Carole wrote and recorded on her own as well as songs she wrote that were recorded by other musicians.
She made her mark with “Tapestry” in 1971 but was already a well established songwriter for over a decade starting with her first hit in 1960 “Will You Love Me Tomorrow” recorded by the Shirelles.
Other well-known hits from King include “Pleasant Valley Sunday” by The Monkees, “Take Good Care of My Baby” by Bobby Vee, “Up on the Roof” by The Drifters and many more old favorites.
“We will take you on a musical journey spanning decades of amazing music,” the opera house said in its release.
