Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in 1980, 'Pearls - Songs of Goffin and King' marked Carole King's return to the spotlight after her commercially successful album 'Tapestry' in 1971. By this time, she was well-established as a solo artist but sought to pay homage to the songwriting duo Gerry Goffin and Carole King, whose work had shaped her early career. This album came during a period when King was exploring the legacy of her past while continuing to evolve her sound.
