Carole King's Tapestry album (1971) had so many HUGE hits, including Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow*. It's Too Late put her on the map. You've Got A Friend, So Far Away, I Feel The Earth Move, etc. That album won 4 Grammys.
She and Gerry Goffin also wrote a ton of songs that other people/groups made into huge hits.
* Gerry Goffin wrote the lyrics, Carole wrote the music. They collaborated this way a lot, but she did write a lot of lyrics too. She once made the comment that Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow was really, "will you still respect me tomorrow," and the lyrics were written by a man.
Of the albums by her that I bought, I liked Fantasy the best. It got a lot of critical acclaim, but not a lot of popular support. I thought it was musically her best, and lots of the lyrics (which she wrote) very meaningful.
