There ought to be some punctuation after "Beautiful" - a comma or semi-colon surely, because if you right it down with all the words on one line it needs it!
I was aware of Carole King but doubt I could have remembered the names of any of her songs because they're the kind of songs that have become standards, that just sort of always existed. And I knew even less about her life. I do remember being impressed by this - by the quality of the cast and the whole production.
