| King had stage fright, which is why one of her bands, the City (with guitarist Danny Kortchmar), never toured. That probably explains why their 1968 album flopped. |
| The City also included bassist Charles Larkey, who King married after her divorce with Goffin. |
| King wrote for the children's television program Really Rosie in 1975. Around that time she also started writing with Goffin again. |
| King acted on Broadway in 1994 for the first time, taking over for Petula Clark in Bloodbrothers. |
| Her birth name is Carole Klein. She has played the piano since she was 4 years old. |
