The daughter of Elias Bayer, a New York thread manufacturer, Carole had a middle-class Jewish upbringing in Manhattan.
While she was still in her teens she joined Don Kirschner’s Screen Gems and a stable of writers that included Goffin and King, Mann and Weil and Greenfield and Sedaka.
She eventually got around to making her own records at the age of 30 and scored right away with her cleverly realised single You’re Moving Out Today (1977), a catchy throwaway Seventies anthem for women’s libbers which told of the ejection of an unwanted live-in boyfriend and his numerous belongings.
