| In 1979, Carole and Marvin co-wrote with Neil Simon the Broadway smash, “They’re Playing Our Song,” which was a semi -autobiographical romantic musical comedy about a wisecracking composer and an offbeat pop lyricist. The show ran for over two years and was nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Musical. |

| Carole’s self-titled 1977 debut solo album earned the artist a UK #1 hit with “You’re Moving Out Today,” a song co-written with Bette Midler and Bruce Roberts. Carole has subsequently released two additional albums, the last of which includes her biggest solo hit in America, the 1981 single “Stronger Than Before.” |
