Beautiful tells the inspiring true story of Carole King's rise to stardom, from being part of a hit songwriting team with her husband Gerry Goffin and her friendship and rivalry with fellow writers and best pals Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann. Goffin and King and Mann and Weil made more than BEAUTIFUL music, they wrote the soundtrack to a generation.
