NATURAL WOMAN: In an inspired choice, the great songwriter/performer Carole King has been selected as the 2014 MusiCares Person of the Year, the recently re-upped Neil Portnow announced this morning in tandem with MusiCares Foundation Board Chair Bill Silva. The 24th annual benefit gala dinner and concert, set for 1/24, two nights before the Grammys, will feature performances by the reunited Dixie Chicks (hey, that’s news in itself), Lady Gaga, Bette Midler, Jason Mraz, James Taylor and Steven Tyler. The tribute chairs are all-stars as well: Lou Adler, Marty Bandier, Rob Light and James Taylor. (9/19a)
