Carole King and Maurice Sendak’s whimsical 1975 classic Really Rosie celebrates its 50th anniversary with a vinyl reissue from Legacy Recordings, available February 28th for the first time since its original release. Featuring 11 tracks composed and performed by King, with lyrics and story by Sendak, the album blends playful childhood themes with heartfelt music. Produced by Lou Adler, Really Rosie originated as a CBS animated special about a bold Brooklyn girl creating a musical with her neighborhood friends. King's personal connection to the material shines through in beloved songs like “Pierre” and “The Ballad of Chicken Soup.” A cherished favorite for generations, Really Rosie remains a timeless cultural touchstone.
