Legendary Musician Carole King Remembers Motown

February 10, 2012

Legendary singer-songwriter Carole King turns 70 this week. An activist as well as award winning musician – King stumped for the Obama campaign in 2008 – at a time when her former Motown competitor – Martha Reeves – was a member of the Detroit City Council. Here’s an excerpt from a 2008 interview when King took time to talk about her work – and Motown – with WDET’s Quinn Klinefelter. WDET features a special look at King’s work this weekend…on Ann Delisi’s Essential Music.
