Editing Carole King (section)

===1980s===
King moved to [[Atlantic Records]] for ''[[One to One (Carole King album)|One to One]]'' (1982) and ''[[Speeding Time]]'' in 1983, which was a reunion with ''Tapestry''-era producer [[Lou Adler]]. After a well-received concert tour in 1984, journalist Catherine Foster of ''[[The Christian Science Monitor]]'' dubbed King "a Queen of Rock". She also called King's performance "all spunk and exuberance."<ref>{{cite magazine | first= Catherine | last= Foster | url= http://www.csmonitor.com/1984/0223/022333.html | title= Carole King – still a Queen of Rock | magazine= CSMonitor.com | date= February 23, 1984 | access-date= April 19, 2014 | archive-date= February 24, 2014 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20140224114918/http://www.csmonitor.com/1984/0223/022333.html | url-status= live }}</ref>

In 1985, she wrote and performed "Care-A-Lot", the theme to ''[[The Care Bears Movie]]'', and she wrote and performed "Home Is In Your Heart". Also in 1985, she scored and performed (with [[David Sanborn]]) the soundtrack to the [[Martin Ritt]]-directed movie ''[[Murphy's Romance]]''. The soundtrack, again produced by Adler, included the songs "Running Lonely" and "Love For The Last Time (Theme from 'Murphy's Romance')", although a soundtrack album was apparently never officially released.<ref name=murphy>{{cite web |url= https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089643/soundtrack |title= Soundtracks for Murphy's Romance |website= IMDb.com |access-date= April 18, 2014 |archive-date= August 31, 2013 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130831234202/http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089643/soundtrack |url-status= live }}</ref> King made a cameo appearance in the film as Tillie, a town hall employee.<ref name=murphy />
