Going Loco

Watching "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical" had a lot of revelations. There were so, so, SO many songs that we didn't know she wrote!

One such revelation: "The Locomotion."

Of course, our generation knows the Kylie Minogue version. But we found out that the original song was written by Carole King! And what's even more shocking was the fact that the original singer - Little Eva - was Carole King's babysitter! We went loco in our seats when we found out!



Mind. Blown!

Beautiful people

I don't see this group of friends as often as I should (except for Kin, who I often run into in the middle of the street - go figure), but when we do, it's always a riot.

Although this "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical" get together was almost instant, what's important is that it happened, and we got together again to enjoy the music and the company.

And of course, when we're together, there's always great food to go with the great conversation. Plus a lot of planning for the next outing.

Let's do this people!

FMM: I am moved!

In preparation for the musical we'll be watching this Sunday, let me hark back to the 70s for today's Friday Magic Madness.

Carole King was one of the most famous and prolific song writers of her generation. Not only did she write hit songs for various artists, she eventually wrote a series of number 1s for herself.

One of my all-time favorites, "I feel the earth move."



A test of a good song is if someone eventually remakes it. Which is the case in this song since Martika also performed it in the 90s.

Still, there's nothing like the original.
