Girls Like Us - Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon - and the Journey of a Generation


I am reading this book. It is about Carole King, Joni Mitchell and Carly Simon - it is great. It is about their lives and how they started out in the music world. Did you know that Carole King wrote or co-wrote 118 pop hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and had her first #1 hit as a songwriter in 1961, at age 18 (Will you love me tomorrow). I had only listened to a few Carole King songs, have never listened to Joni Mitchell and love Carly Simon - have a few of her CDs. I am really enjoying this book. Very interesting lives so far. I will let you know what I think when I finish it - it is not a small book - about 600 pages.
