"The City" was a short-lived American folk-rock band formed in 1968, comprising of Carol King, Danny Kortchmar, and Charles Larkey. They are known for their only album, "Now That Everything's Been Said", which blended King's poignant songwriting with Kortchmar's guitar work and Larkey's bass lines, creating a distinctive sound that combined elements of folk, rock, and pop. Despite their limited output, "The City" holds significance in music history as it marked the transition of Carol King from a successful songwriter to a performing artist, setting the stage for her subsequent breakthrough as a solo artist.
