I was 20 when this beautiful song came out; Im 72 now and so much has happened to, not just me, but the world. This song never fails to lift my spirits. Thank you Carol King ❤
I seem to like this song in a different way to you. I wouldn't say it lifts my spirits at all. But I am always riveted by its evocation of failed love.
I'm a young millennial, but I have to say Pop stars today can't begin to compare with this woman. I don't know how I didn't discover her sooner. She's awesome.
Trust me I'm 62 ( no judgement or disrespect at all) there's a who lot you are missing so keep watching you tube & educate yourself & your friends on losing all your freedoms SOON... with what you all are being "taught"
My sister introduced Carole King to me she used to play it every night when we all went to sleep tragically she got in a car accident at 17 is no longer with us rest in peace Lynn
I am 66 and watched this show live in 1971 and it still sounds great. The BBC liked to record singer-songwriters in an unplugged environment. Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Elton John, Laura Nyro, James Taylor, Eagles, Cat Stevens, Crosby & Nash were featured. The found quality was always excellent. This was a wonderful era for music.
I went to school with Carole's daughter, Louise back in the '70s. Carole would occasionally join us girls for morning coffee and date nut bread at Du-Pars in Studio City. Very cool mom!! She is such an amazing songwriter and performer. Her songs have carried me through for decades.
Wow.. that’s amazing. She seems very down to earth. Through some close friends when I was a teenager back in the late 80’s we went out to Martha’s Vineyard and ended meeting and becoming friends with Carly Simon’s and JamesTaylor’s daughter, Sally Taylor. She looked so much like Carly. Very cool girl and laid back. Great memories and I feel very fortunate for my experiences early on. Oh and yes... the artists then were truly artists. TIMELESS
.......and Olivia Newton-John, Elkie Brooks, Diana Ross, and Dionne Warwick - remember them too. These are all way, way.............. better than some very average or poorer vocalists nowadays. Why not also mention the late, great John Miles (Mr. "Music"), and Tina Turner too.
@@Tony-H-Gos I often read comments like this on RUclips, almost always from older people (of which I am one) and they hack me off. This risible over-generalisation that people can't sing these days. There is more music than ever right now augmented by the TV 'talent' shows so the ratio of 'very average or poorer vocalists' is certain to be higher. But there are plenty of singers who are every bit as good as those you speak of and please don't mention auto tune. Try listening to Weyes Blood and Angel Olsen and tell me, hand on heart, that they are 'average.' Or in the rock/metal sphere, Floor Jansen of Nightwish.
I’ve loved this song yesterday, today and tomorrow. I have no words to describe how much this entire Album affected my life. I appreciate you always Ms. Carole Queen! I mean Ms. Carole King 👑
1973 at 16 me and my girlfriend broke up., must have played this song and album a thousand times. Fastforward to 2023 my wife and i have just separated, yup, here i am again, thank you Ms. Carol King, your music is medicine.
Carole King: authentic musician, raw and honest. THIS is music. No bullshit formulaic pop music with autotune and special effects. 2024, are you listening??
I am 57. I was 6 when "Tapestry" came out. Everyone and I mean everyone I remember owned, liked or played it. It was like the Mary Tyler Moore Show, very empowering to women. ❤
Wow man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Transistor radio, had one of those with the one ear plug, I had another radio about 12 inches high it had leather on the outside or looked like leather and it had 3 knobs in the front for the volume the station and I forget what the other one was for and a handle on top, I miss thoses days❤🎉😊
Yap! I was second -year student at Moscow University in 1972 when one of my friends received Tapestry on vinyl record as a gift from his relative in US. Since then I have heard-a-many records and tapes, as the Music is important part of my life. So Tapestry is unrivalled in its raw sensuality, wilderness and beauty in all its ingredients -lyrics, vocals, arrangements and specially string arrangements. Carol King is God blessed gift to the humans. Tapestry, Hunky Dory, Dark Side of the Moon, Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. These are four milestones on which entire modern music is held. Es pura verdad, amigo!
Hi Ellen It's a beautiful & heart touching song❤❤Hello from Scotland!. How are you doing today? I guess you have a great passion for music just like I do? I hope to hear from you soon!!!
I lost my father in April 2024, and he always listened to Carole King. It feels like there is a connection with him when I listen to her music. I miss you, Dad.
I was 20 in 1971 dating Michelle B. (who I was crazy about) when this song came out. It had a melodious richness that blew me away. Man, were those the days.
@@dudestyle01 You are so right about the BBC, very competent employees. It's a totally different music genre, but to support your comment have you seen the "Tubular Bells" live recording done in 1973 also by the BBC. Very impressive recording. ruclips.net/video/KXatvzWAzLU/видео.html
I met Carole King briefly on the side of a stage when she was on a USO tour in Kosovo. she was so nice and we chatted for a few seconds and then pardoned herself as she was "next on stage" she was so nice I didn't realize it was her! Carol, thanks!
One of the best songwriters ever - very underrated. Tapestry is an astonishingly good album - every single song is brilliant. And she is utterly gorgeous!!
John, very well said! I second everything you said, with the possible exception of being under-rated. I've seen where some consider her one of the best of all time, and so I'd agree with them. And she is very beautiful indeed!
I was born in 1969. When Tapestry was released my mom had the LP, and played it until the grooves were worn out. I learned what real music was about, and these are my favorite memories. I was truly blessed to have heard the best music ever recorded because my mom introduced me so early. I went to school with the intention of becoming a DJ. For years my mom would always say if I knew my homework as well as I knew music I would be a straight A student. I had the best teacher, every genre, and it truly spoke to my soul. ❤️🎶❤️
I remember when the album Tapestry came out. I was 12 at the time. It still remains as one of my favorites. Im 65 years old now, and yet i appreciate the older songs that have withstood the test of time.
It was huge, a lot of my friends had a copy of Tapestry. The uni radio station was playing just before it hit. Listened to it in the Caf every morning.
@@MD-kg1kq I discover new music all the time, love finding great tunes to add to my collection, still it doesn't take away from the enjoyment I get from listening to classics such as this. Cheers
I love the way James slips in a touch of the 'Funky Nassau' guitar lick at the end of his solo, much to the amusement of Carole and the bass player. Looks like they were having fun.
Yep...and I noticed he incorporated the riff from the song, "Funky Nassau" during the solo (3:21), which made Carole smile. Funky Nassau was a hit on the radio but wasn't released until March of '71. I bet the date on this video is off by a few months.
As a young child in the early and mid-70s, I always heard her music on the radio. It was very popular back then. I always liked it, but as I got older I appreciated her multiple talents more and more. Carole King is nothing short of AWESOME!
The soul and sadness of this song hits me so hard. I’m in a loving marriage but I can’t stop listening to this song, it’s beautiful. Tapestry is one of my favorite albums.
To my mind, every single song on that album is sheer musical genius. I cannot think of any other album by any other artist where every track could have been a hit single.
Back in 1971, it was pretty safe to say that Carole King was the top female performer in the world. Maybe even the top period performer in the world. If not, close, very close.
Boy, I tell you, this is the one that transports me completely back in time... 1972. St Paul, Minnesota. I was babysitting; the kids were in bed, and I put this album on low after grabbing a soda out of the fridge and a bag of chips. The youngest in her fluffy onesie kept wanting to get out of her crib. She's a doctor, now... I played through the entire album twice, but it's this song that grabs my heart the most... ❤
Great story! crazy where the time goes. Those were great days. No tiktok and distractions. I really feel sorry for the kids today. My babysitter watched for me when I went from Toronto to St. Paul as a 3M rep in Toronto. :)
I am 58 and anything that Carole King does reminds me of the coolest teacher I ever had. Her name was Joan Saunders. She was fresh out of College and got a Lead Teacher job in my School District to replace a teacher that planned to travel around the World. I still think of her as the most influential person of my youthful life. I was 6 years old and the War was happening and was really bad. She was into Peace, Freedom for all, The Ecology, and treating people the right way. She taught us that everyday. The best part is she filled in for my First Grade year, and did such a great job that she got hired. Then, I had her again in Third Grade. She is part of why I am who I am today. I am a Humanitarian. I am an activist for the Environment and am against War and believe nothing that our Government (USA) says about anything. God Bless you Mrs. Joan Saunders, wherever you are. Spring House Elementary in Spring House, PA.
Time will heal what reason cannot. I'm sure I'm echoing the sentiment of everyone who reads your comment when I say may you find peace and happiness again.
Absolutely legend in action. Just thrilled to see how the legend played it live ... The date was 10 Feb 1971, exactly the one when Tapestry was released. The program must be a seminal, monumental event for BBC.
It’s really rare we can see the original recording members of the best album in 1971, Tapestry. I’m thrilled watching this. This brings back me to when I was a high school boy.
I agree! She is a brilliant songwriter, the equal of McCartney, Paul Simon and Brian Wilson. Tapestry is a magnificent album - every song utterly wonderful.
I started listening to Carole King when I was 15. Now I'm 62. Been preaching in Baptist churches for 33 years. Still love her music. She is a sweetheart.
Yes this song still breaks my heart when I hear it. I had just come from my girlfriend's house. We broke up. Driving home I turned on the radio to cheer me up. Only to to have this song perfectly start when I turned the radio on. I cranked it up and cried my heart out. Great song.
Hi It's a beautiful & heart touching song❤❤Hello from Scotland!. How are you doing today? I guess you have a great passion for music just like I do? I hope to hear from you soon!!!
Great performance!! Happy Birthday Carole! (Feb 9th). Today is 50th Anniversary of the release of her legendary album 'Tapestry'. The Rock n' Roll Hall Of Fame is the next honor for Carole King!
Thank God for YOU TUBE . To allow us all to express our feelings about this exceptional music created by a unique one of a kind individual Carole King .
Tapestry was the first Album I bought. Played it non-stop . This music was new, exciting and there was so much going on in the music industry at the time. It was a very creative time. And a precurser of things to come. But a lot of interesting artists and music have evolved since then. Music is perpetual.
This song always brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it and even more so since now I am getting divorced and it hits so painfully close to home. During the summer of my break up. I was walking through the store at a Fred Meyer and this song came on and I just had to leave and go to my car and weep.
This is what happens when you allow 5 or 6 mega corporations + the tech giants and ticketmaster to control the mass production and distribution of music and art in general.
Yes, Danny "Kootch" is an excellent guitarist! I love how Carole King jams with him singing certain chords as Danny plays them! So pure & beautiful:) A treasure only found on this Live version! Danny "Kootch" performs on many of Carole's albums! Carole King Is soo talented & she chose the best to accompany her:) Carole King, Congrats on the 50th anniversary of Tapestry & your 2021 Oct Induction into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame! So well deserved! Thank you, Carole King, for sharing your God given talents making this a better world!🌸🦋
Hi It's a beautiful & heart touching song❤❤Hello from Scotland!. How are you doing today? I guess you have a great passion for music just like I do? I hope to hear from you soon!!!
I love that I grew up with the music of so many fine artists in my life. Thank you for the inspiration and insight. I hope others are able to find a similar experience.

I bought it then as well. And I’m 72. Speechless
@charlesflett2818 Well obviously great minds think alike! 😉
I seem to like this song in a different way to you. I wouldn't say it lifts my spirits at all. But I am always riveted by its evocation of failed love.
Agreed! But it must be a dark spirit connecting you. Darker song (bc it’s too late). Magical chord changes. W O W.
@@jedgould5531 try watching a live performance. I think it’s an eighties one. It’s even better than the recording.
The 70's wouldn't have been the same without the Tapestry album
Ain't that the truth. One of the greatest albums ever recorded.❤
Absolutely
Too true. I have had a copy of that album on every generation of media since I bought it on 8-track in the early 70s. It never gets old.
Yes sweet not mud hav fun bo3 or girls aloud oops up side my head boy
No filler on that album. Every song was great.
I'm a young millennial, but I have to say Pop stars today can't begin to compare with this woman. I don't know how I didn't discover her sooner. She's awesome.

Yes 👍.
2 time rock and roll Hall of famer that says enough.
Her and Todd Rundgren (even though King was a little more talented) never got the credit they deserved
Had all her records way back .She was a Big Star 🌟 in those days

Same here, glorious times!
Wow man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Transistor radio, had one of those with the one ear plug, I had another radio about 12 inches high it had leather on the outside or looked like leather and it had 3 knobs in the front for the volume the station and I forget what the other one was for and a handle on top, I miss thoses days❤🎉😊
Yep - Medium Wave, radio 2, 1970s...introduced by Terry Wogan.
Beautiful! My dad was back from Vietnam and my brother was headed over.
Sounds like my older brother and me. I listened to Tapestry in Vietnam.
Genius. No lip sync, auto tune , flashy production etc. Pure raw talent
Indudable temaso chidos recuerdos
and really good quality video for 1971
You can always check out NPR tiny desk or Audiotree if you want something similar nowadays
Can we include Melanie Safka as well?😊
Brand New Key etc....
Proof that the music industry survived and thrived without auto tune and pitch correction.
And was much better for it!
Amen !
No one is arguing that it didn’t…

Right there with you, Tariq. I had to grow up to understand how amazing she really is.
Puts a smile in my face the way she vocalizes even some of the guitar lines. Such a soothing voice.
The soul and sadness of this song hits me so hard. I’m in a loving marriage but I can’t stop listening to this song, it’s beautiful. Tapestry is one of my favorite albums.
It reminds me of my son's first wife who I will always love.

She was fresh out of College and got a Lead Teacher job in my School District to replace a teacher that planned to travel around the World. I still think of her as the most influential person of my youthful life. I was 6 years old and the War was happening and was really bad. She was into Peace, Freedom for all, The Ecology, and treating people the right way. She taught us that everyday. The best part is she filled in for my First Grade year, and did such a great job that she got hired. Then, I had her again in Third Grade. She is part of why I am who I am today. I am a Humanitarian. I am an activist for the Environment and am against War and believe nothing that our Government (USA) says about anything. God Bless you Mrs. Joan Saunders, wherever you are.

Beautiful lady.
Real Music
Classic Forever.
She has a great smile
@@danielvasquez8830 Carole King si es una diva.
This lady is a true music icon. Simply a stellar musician.
Brings tears to my eyes. It reminds me how I felt before my divorce. We were circling the drain, caught in a gravity well. No escape
Time will heal what reason cannot. I'm sure I'm echoing the sentiment of everyone who reads your comment when I say may you find peace and happiness again.
Absolutely legend in action. Just thrilled to see how the legend played it live ...
The date was 10 Feb 1971, exactly the one when Tapestry was released. The program must be a seminal, monumental event for BBC.
Love Carole King she was always one of my favorites and still is today. God bless you beautiful Carol
Lotta class, talent, elegance. God Bless you Carole
It’s really rare we can see the original recording members of the best album in 1971, Tapestry. I’m thrilled watching this. This brings back me to when I was a high school boy.
All it takes is a piano, a guitar and an amazing singer! Fills your soul!
Amen to that
And a bass player. These guys always go unnoticed.
Never tired of hearing her voice, her lyrics, her music, they stir up so many memories and new feelings
Thank You Carole King for all the years of fantastic songs.
Beautiful..... truly beautiful.... thank you so much for sharing ..... please keep up the good work ....
In my opinion this album is up there with Sgt. Peppers and Pet Sounds as one of the most important and influential recordings in RnR History.
I agree! She is a brilliant songwriter, the equal of McCartney, Paul Simon and Brian Wilson. Tapestry is a magnificent album - every song utterly wonderful.
yea her album is tops. called Tapestry.
And Something/Anything by Rundgren.
Rolling Stone agrees. They rated it number 25 of all time in the most recent best albums list. Classic album.
I definitely agree
I started listening to Carole King when I was 15. Now I'm 62. Been preaching in Baptist churches for 33 years. Still love her music. She is a sweetheart.
Me and my guy shared this song in the 70's and survived our marriage. Thank u
The voice , the music & the lady who sing this song is so fantastic !
Beautiful music I the 70's💪🙋still have that album
The early seventies Brooklyn in this song is positively palpable.
Yes this song still breaks my heart when I hear it. I had just come from my girlfriend's house. We broke up. Driving home I turned on the radio to cheer me up. Only to to have this song perfectly start when I turned the radio on. I cranked it up and cried my heart out. Great song.
Carole King es lo máximo!!! She made the real music. Thank you!
You didn't just make a song..., you made a tattoo on our hearts. Thanks for this !!!
I'm 34 and sometimes I think I was born in the wrong decade. What an epic song
Same, only I'm 44.
We all do I'm 48 now and it feels like I was in the 70's more then just being a baby In 1975 this kind of music really touches your soul
ONE OF THE BEST SONG OF ALL TIME! CAROLE KING I S WOW
Hi
It's a beautiful & heart touching song❤❤Hello from Scotland!.
How are you doing today? I guess you have a great passion for music just like I do? I hope to hear from you soon!!!
That guitar solo is awesome! Nice and clean sounding, which is perfect for the song.
I've owned Tapestry on vinyl, cassette, CD, and MP3. It's still a perfect album.
Beautiful song lovely lady brings back memories a real classic
Takes me back to my teenage years! Loved her! Never dreamed I'd be playing her song at my moms memorial service "you've got a friend"
So sorry for your loss. 🙏
Carol. Absolutely beautiful!. Don’t pay any attention to the thumbs down You are pure magic ! Thanks for the beautiful music
Great performance!! Happy Birthday Carole! (Feb 9th). Today is 50th Anniversary of the release of her legendary album 'Tapestry'. The Rock n' Roll Hall Of Fame is the next honor for Carole King!
Thank God for YOU TUBE . To allow us all to express our feelings about this exceptional music created by a unique one of a kind individual Carole King .
Tapestry was the first Album I bought. Played it non-stop . This music was new, exciting and there was so much going on in the music industry at the time. It was a very creative time. And a precurser of things to come. But a lot of interesting artists and music have evolved since then. Music is perpetual.
This song always brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it and even more so since now I am getting divorced and it hits so painfully close to home. During the summer of my break up. I was walking through the store at a Fred Meyer and this song came on and I just had to leave and go to my car and weep.
Sorry to hear of your troubled times, I hope things have gotten better for you. Best wishes on the journey ahead.
@@albertawheat6832 Thank you for your kind words
@@NS-fo2br Np, Just have to inquire when I see a post like yours, Glad to hear you are alright... Cheers and take care.
Divorce is such a mess, troubling times indeed. Hopefully your world is feeling more secure now.
I totally get it.
This lady is an absolute treasure, misic will always find a way of being unique but this is genuine
Nice to hear Danny “Kootch” Kortchmar here, not drowned out by other musicians.
Grew up hearing this as a kid, never saw her or was sure who sang this. She sounds incredible, such an ear caressing voice, so easy going and smooth.
I love this song ,when I was 10 was giving this tapestry álbum and i listened to it many many times Every single day ! Thanks a lot Mrs Carole King
Why can’t we have this kind of music anymore these days?
もお40n
Because they won’t let grown ups release music anymore
It’s right here!
This is what happens when you allow 5 or 6 mega corporations + the tech giants and ticketmaster to control the mass production and distribution of music and art in general.
We do, it's just not played on the radio.
Brings tears as I enter the end of my ten year relationship 😢
❤

Guitarist did Carole's creation a fine treatment of musical artistry in the solo.
What a captivating chord it was done in.
Yes, Danny "Kootch" is an excellent guitarist! I love how Carole King jams with him singing certain chords as Danny plays them! So pure & beautiful:) A treasure only found on this Live version! Danny "Kootch" performs on many of Carole's albums! Carole King Is soo talented & she chose the best to accompany her:) Carole King, Congrats on the 50th anniversary of Tapestry & your 2021 Oct Induction into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame! So well deserved! Thank you, Carole King, for sharing your God given talents making this a better world!🌸🦋
