- Thank you to our patron Gail H for another great pick. I know this was a song written in response to another song we've listened to... "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor. He also did a version of this song and they both won grammys! That's wild. What a pat on the shoulder this track is. I really needed it.

Hard to overstate the impact this album "Tapestry" had when it released in 71. Carole King was genius...
it made the "Earth Move Under My Feet!"
@@vickeyadkins1481 Good one Vickey!
still is
@@yournamehere6002 I'll take your word for it; 53 years ago was the last album I bought of hers...
@@devildog5354 Well, she's still alive and assuming she's of sound mind, her genius remains intact.
They were friends. Carole was a very successful songwriter with her husband in the 60s. When she got divorced and moved out to California, James befriended her, and convinced her to start performing her own songs. When she heard "Fire and Rain", she wrote this song to support him.
Tapestry is a classic LP. Every song is worth a listen.
They are lifelong friends. They have sung together off and on over the decades. They have always been supportive of each other. She was in an abusive marriage but she finally got out of it. She is a very gracious person. I have loved their music since I was 17!
That album cover visually sums up the early 70's perfectly
Carol was a song writer at what is generally referred to the Brill building in NYC. Where she first had success writing for other artists at first with her husband Gerry Goffin almost a full decade before her first solo album. Shehas written 118 songs that charted on the Billboard top 100.
I was having an event for women in our home maybe 10 years ago. I had the music lined up on the stereo and the Tapestry album came on. It was amazing how every woman there - it didn't matter her age or race - knew the words to this album. So an impromptu sing along happened, especially with this song.
Thank you for your BEAUTIFUL comment! This song makes me tear up every time! Peace and Blessings to you and yours!

The album cover is perfect because when you listen to Carol it's like she's sitting at her piano in your living room and singing just for you..
That entire album is PERFECT.
Her cat named Telemachus is the most famous album cover animal in history - you get a true view of her chill vibes from the cover - just a laid back woman in jeans hanging out with her cat by a city apartment window
You need to hear the entire Tapestry album- a true classic - Carole was a songwriter behind dozens of hit songs by others- if.not more than 100 that reached the Billboard Top 100 and then finally released her own singer songwriter album and got the kudos she deserved
As a young woman in the 70's there were 2 things we needed to pack for our college dorm room: Carole King's album Tapestry and the book "Our Bodies, Ourselves".
There was an incredible group of musicians, singers, and songwriters in the 70's that all lived in Laurel Canyon and supported and nurtured each other. Carole King was one of them and the album cover photo was taken in her Laurel Canyon home. Also, Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Eagles, CSN&Y, Linda Ronstadt, Joni Mitchell, Emmylou Harris, Ry Cooder, Karla Bonoff, and several others. Their music made the 70's an incredible decade musically.
Don't forget Frank!
Joni Mitchell has a great song about this: “Ladies of the Canyon.”
@@fostercathead His home was the musical enter of that group and Mama Cass was the mother hen.
Carole King ranks as one of the greatest songwriters ever. She wrote or cowrote some of the biggest hit pop songs in history, including Will You Love Me Tomorrow, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, Up on the Roof, One Fine Day, Some Kind of Wonderful, Hey Girl, I'm into Something Good, Just Once in My Life, and The Loco-Motion,
That entire Tapestry album is fire! Worth a listen. Thanks for the great reaction!
Definitely one of the best singer songwriters of this generation and her Tapestry album is a masterpiece, you really need to listen to the entire album
great song, any cut on Carole King's "Tapestry" album is a gem
Even as an 11 year old in '71, I always looked through the record collections of my friend's older brothers and sisters, and I mean EVERYONE had Tapestry. 14 times platinum.
I still have mine.
Imagine being 19 walking across campus and everyone had this album on the turntable
as big a song writer as any one for 10 years, before recording her own music. The album Tapestry was on the charts for years and every song on it is golden. The list of people she wrote for is staggering. The Beatles even did one hers in the early 1960s before they started writing all their own
Everyone who was into music when this album came out soon owned it.
One of the all time heartfelt songs which Carole wrote for James!❤
the entire album Tapestry is great. She is playing the piano
She's really unique. It's good to remember that there was sort of a golden age of songwriting in the 70's despite the disco stuff.
Disco was several years later.
@@jpirard What part of "the 70's" is confusing
Absolutely everyone owned a copy of Tapestry when it came out. This and Deja Vu.
Carole wrote many ,many hits. Tapestry was a monster album.....
James and Carole are really great friends and have toured together.
This could so easily be called a "Hymn". Beautiful. ... We've all been there when we have needed a Friend.
Every one of us who could play a piano bought the book of sheet music for this album. Carole King got more practice time out of me than anyone before or since 😊
I will never forget listening to this album as an 8 year old with my mother. I was exposed so a lot of different styles back then, but this album was so complete front to back. She is amazing in the body of work that she’s put out. Thanks for the reaction
Songs of empathy in those days: Bridge over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel, Run To Me by the Bee Gees and You've Got A Friend performed by Carole King and/or James Taylor
Such a pleasure to watch you enjoy great music! It's changing you in ways you won't realize 'till later, but it's good.
Take a look at her wiki page to understand her profound influence on American music. Thanks for the great reaction!
Carole is so great and influential and inspiring for so long, a Broadway Play was made about her. Beautiful. If a Broadway Play is made about you, it shows the effect you had on the world.
Beautiful School (I was 14) Memories from 1971-72…Aah the beautiful friends and times …So long Ago…
A beautiful Classic Album!
Carole King/I Feel The Earth Move
The Tapestry album is iconic, one of the best of the 70's. Carole King and James Taylor have great musical chemistry and are genuinely close friends. Carole's song "Natural Woman" was a other great hit from the album, and the legendary Aretha Franklin actually brought Barack Obama to tears by her performance of the song decades later ( worth a watch!).
Was that the performance at the Kennedy Honors? I love watching that: Aretha at her diva best, Carole fangirling because Aretha still sings her song, and Obama tearing up.
In 2015, Carole became a Kennedy Center Honoree and Aretha Franklin performed "Natural Woman" which Carole wrote for her many, many years before:

Carole King, Joni Mitchell and Laura Nyro are the holy trinity of female singer-songwriters for me, check out Laura Nyro too!
Tapestry is a perfect album. Arguably, her best. Carol is a lot like Joni. All she needs is her writing skills, her unadorned voice and her instrument. So spare and lovely, and emotion-laced.
Restore of this album, tapestry was not only a huge hit. It was the best selling album of all time for years before finally being displaced. Not the biggest selling album of the year, but the biggest selling album for years.
This specific album sold over 25 million copies.
I think that equates to like 25 times platinum.
I bought Tapestry when it came out, I wore out the first LP and had to replace it, it is one the most successful album of all time.
A beautiful song from a wonderful album
A classic classic ❤
She's an amazing song writer
The whole is superb. Not a bad song, most of which has been covered by others because of their sheer beauty and genius
You can start with the first song on her album TAPESTRY, and go down the list. They are all bangers. For many years, this was one of the best selling albums of all time. Every woman in the 70s had this album in her collection, right next to Bonnie Raitt and BLUE by Joni Mitchell.
This truly great album appealed to many men too, myself included. 🎶👍
Tears. I always think of James when this title comes up, but forgot how wonderful Carole's original is.
James Taylor, Carole King and Joni Mitchell all made classic albums (Mud Slide Slim, Tapestry and Blue) at the same time and appeared on each others records
Carole and James together in concert is a must.
Carole King's album Tapestry, released in 1971, is one of the greatest albums of the past 60 years, and when you observed she sang genuinely, I think that is a product of her path in music: She wanted to perform more than a decade early but didn't have the stereotypical looks studios wanted, so she and her husband, Gerry Goffin, became prolific songwriters as a side gig to their day jobs, Carole composing the music and Gerry writing most of the music. Their work became hits for a string of leading artists in the 1960s. even number one hits, but she was still an unknown, their marriage failed, so she gave recording another shot. By then she had experienced enough life, both hope and pain, that she performed her songs with a sincerity and passion that simply touches everyone who listens. Every track on Tapestry is a masterpiece and varied too, but I suggest one in particular to react to next: Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? She and Gerry wrote the song when they had invested their live and hope into their marriage; she recorded it after that hope had been lost.
That tapestry album I bought was wore out over the years. Gosh this was such an amazing album. You should check it out Lee. Carole King lyrics, voice and piano playing....❤❤❤❤soooo. Perfect. Go down my this rabbit hole. Same with James Taylor. Damn my 60s 70s were the best of talented musicians songwriters and singers.....
Beautiful. James Taylor has covered a few of her songs, but one of my favorites is his cover of "Up On The Roof" from his album "Flag" - check it out if you get a chance.
Carol King was a professsional songwriter, as in a 9-5 job in the Brill Buildingin NYC, "Tin Pan Alley." She wrote many iconic songs of this sixties, including "You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman" which she wrote for Aretha Franklin.
This is one of the vinyls I held onto since I bought it new. Love Tapestry!
Thanks, brother!✌️💕
Another all-time great album from 1971. There are a so many great albums fro, that year!
Came out when I was 14. Every song on the album is great.
Carole King started writing songs with her husband in the early 60s, mostly for what were called in the early 60s “girl groups.”
In the beginning of the 70s she and her divorced and she embarked on a solo career.
👍Love Carol King and this album, she’s a great songwriter.
It’s Too Late, is good too.
What else can be said about Carole King or this album. All I can say is wait until you here "It's Too Late". There are a few "perfect" songs out there. It's Too Late is one of them.
Yes, they were friends. So glad Carole wrote it. JTs version is it for me.
Carol is a very deep rabbit hole. 😊
Danny Kortchmar is a legend
This is an exquisite album and was one of the albums that got me through my teen years.
It will be ok Lee. 😊
That was such a lovely, genuine reaction
You have a big, generous Heart ❤
Another 70s song I think you'd like is
White Bird, by the band It's A Beautiful Day
'Tapestry' was such a fine album, from the cover, the songs, performances, to the audio quality.
James' version is beautiful too. I'm so glad you're having a good experience with your reaction channel. I enjoy watching. You seem very genuine and caring.😊
Well you have plenty of friends here.
Now that is the truest statement I've read today. Thank you my friend. Needed that one today.
Carole is primarily a composer and has worked with a few lyricists, most notably her first husband, Gerry Goffin, and Toni Stern. But she did write the lyrics for some of her songs, including this one. She has said the song came from somewhere and just flowed through her. She said she'll be the first to say it's a great song because she doesn't feel like she wrote it.
Carol is icon. Grand Funk, Aretha Franklin, James Taylor, Little Eva, Herman’s Hermits, The Chiffons, The Beatles ( Chains) and others.
Another Laurel Canyon resident Lee !!!
“Tapestry” by Carol King. Great, great album
Nice reaction Lee. It's hard to overstate how important this album was back in '71, she and James were really all over the radio back then. Of course The Stones released "Sticky Fingers" that year too, which was more my style. If you want to try a real rocker from 1971 that most people have forgotten now, try the band Cactus doing "One Way or Another". Chock full of amazing guitar and as a bonus, it's an incredible headphone song. Peace!
"You've Got A Friend" by Carole King... Carol wrote it response to the lyrics ...'(I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend. But I always thought that I'd see you again)...Fire and Rain is about James' friend committing suicide and not being told for months and his addiction to heroin.
Dude, watching you 'get' that song, seeing the recognition of the emotional content in your eyes, I just wanted to encourage you and say thanks. I get a lot of undefinable, uh... resonance from genuine-feeling reaction videos. Carole King is one of the sweetest, most relatable songwriters that I can think of. Thanks for the neurotransmitter hit. You come across very authentically. I first caught you because "Do It Again' is my favorite first album, first song ever. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I dig RUclips specifically for this kind of content. Signed, some old guy.
Carol King, one of the great musicians and word smiths of the 1960’s through to today.
On a par with Taylor, Simon, Dylon, CNSY, etc etc etc!!
Many many more just a half step below!!
I were borned July 1st 1956, like all baby boomers we were blessed to have grown and come of age with the greatest music ever written, recorded and performed!!
It tickles my innards that my grandchildren’s generation is/are gaining an appreciation for what was way back when;);)
L33, have you told your living ancestors how lucky they are, and how it affects you, and maybe helps you to understand them?
I have to do some research but I am going to dig a shallow hole for you to dive into with Linda Ronstadt;) how deep that hole becomes is up to you.
FYI; the hole will take you back to mid 20th century, with a tunnel to take you across/under the pond;)
Carol kings album tapestry is one of the greatest albums of all time.......dive into it
Your reactions are great...you've got a friend.
"You got a friend in me" by randy Newman will make you happy.
I liked Smackwater Jack. It was a song ahead of its time.
Tapestry is a superb album. Not a single dud on it. Out of the 12 songs offered, six of them are covered by several other artists. Artists such as Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, Amy Winehouse, Quincy Jones, Mary J. Blige, Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, Isley Brothers, Anne Murray, Rod Stewart, Richard Marx, Dusty Springfield, Roberta Flack, The Shirelles, Linda Ronstadt, Smokey Robinson, Dianne Warwick, among other lesser known artists. That's how good it is.
Superb tune, album & reaction. Cheers.
You rock 🙏 thank you as always.
If you haven’t ELO Mr Blue Sky one of the cheeriest songs ever and tremendously good
☮️💙💙💙🔥😎
Check out "Way Over Yonder" from the Tapestry album.
"Singer and songwriter Carole King has written or co-written over 400 songs that have been recorded by more than 1,000 artists." google
Subscribed!
Great song. If you want a feel good song from the same er try Its A Long Way There ny Little River Band. Itll make you smile.
A day late for the main comments, but it's interesting to note "Tapestry" was the best selling album period until Pink Floyd came in with "The Dark Side of the Moon"
If you need a happy, carefree song, take a listen to artist Melanie, "Brand New Key."
Not a bad track on the album
I've always like Carole King's version better.
I just posted a comment and it's not in the list. This is the SECOND vid today where this occurred, the other was the Deep Purple reaction.
Yo, COMMENTS ARE NOT BEING POSTED! I posted 3 comments at the Deep Purple clip and they are NOT POSTED. I provided a couple links for you to check out but the comments ARE NOT POSTED. NO, I DID NOT USE ANY PROFANITY!
Hang in there
Uh, what does that mean exactly? Do people have to repeatedly type comments until they figure out which one MAY be posted?@@HT-io1eg
