How Sweet It Is

Bringing to life the nostalgic sounds of the ‘70s

Celebrating three legends of music: Carole King, James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt

These three giants of pop and rock music typified the smooth pop and rock music of the time perfectly with songs like “I Feel The Earth Move”, “How Sweet It Is” and “When Will I Be Loved?, “You’re No Good” and more. Their legacy encompasses some of the most nostalgic and classic tunes still played today.

This live show presents the music of Carole King, James Taylor and the fabulous Linda Ronstadt in a two-hour featuring some of the most iconic sounds of the ‘70s.

The Legends

 Linda Ronstadt no longer sings due to neurological illness. She was one of the biggest selling female artists in the world and sings across folk/country/pop/rock and even jazz. She pioneered female inclusion in modern music and defied her record executives to record a Spanish album which they said would finish her career.

Carole King is a legendary songwriter, another female pioneer of the same era, who has had a musical written about her and joined James Taylor (another luminary of the time) to sell out concerts in their later years defying the odds of pop. rock “youth” focus to be still selling out concerts today.

James Taylor defied a total ignorance from radio stations and music promoters in his later years to continue selling millions of albums and concerts worldwide and recorded duets with both Carole and Linda.
