James Madison was established in 1925, and has graduated four Nobel Prize winners as well as Carole King. Carol was known as Carole Klein when she graduated in the class of 1958.
Carole’s career took off a few years after graduating when she, along with her then husband Gerry Goffin, wrote dozens of hit songs for numerous artists, many of which have become standards.

Was wondering if Carol King (Klein) was in the girls chorus at James Madison H.S.
I graduated from there in 1957 & was in that chorus. Thanks
Carole wrote the music and lyrics for the James Madison “sing” chorus. I graduated in 1957. She was remarkable.
