Take a DQ
Correct on Carole King.
Correct on King Solomon. I didn’t think about the title. The author of the book of Ecclesiastes identifies himself as Koheleth, but nearly everyone associates him with Solomon.

I’ll guess John Kennedy for #3.
If that’s right, you get 2 DQs. If it’s wrong, you get 3.
Previous IQs:
Did you answer a phone you didn’t even know was there before? - This was JFK, in a story later told by Ted Sorensen, who was with him at the time. The phone was in a hidden White House bedroom alcove; the President, bemused, answered it and then assured the skeptical caller that she had not, in fact, reached a local veterinary clinic.
Did a military officer pose beside your bed when you weren’t in it yet? - This was Jackie Kennedy. A special temporary clinic was set up for the pregnant First Lady in 1963 on a military base near Hyannisport; JFK was not pleased by all the publicity.
Did your son have his hands in his pockets when you were sworn in? - Caroline Kennedy, when she became U.S. ambassador to Japan: http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/131112185054-caroline-kennedy-sworn-in-story-top.jpg
