Tapestry was one of the great albums of all time.
Pure classic!
My ex said he made it through military training in 71 with Tapestry. A great songwriter Natural Woman. Brill building staple.
Absolutely!!!
I still have that album. One of the great song writers.
@@Tessiefaye
I have the album And her Piano Book.....😁
Carole King wrote hit songs for practically every singer in the 1960's.
She was 29 in 1971 when Tapestry came out. And by the way
the harmonies etc on It's Too Late plus the guitar solo
made it way more soulful
than what it sounds like in this live.
Her writing partner and then husband Jerry Goffin wrote the lyrics to many of their hits while King composed the music although some songs she also wrote the lyrics.
Can't miss with Carole King. Major. Talent. You'll be shocked when you realize what a prolific songwriter she is.
She was honored at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2015. I think her album “Tapestry” was one of the first albums I ever purchased. Carole King and Carly Simon came on the scene around the same time.
Aretha Franklin's performance at the Kennedy Center Honors for Carole King was the bomb! She performed King's song "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman."
@@Yowza78 OMG when Aretha comes on stage in her fur coat, drops her purse on the piano, and starts playing and singing and Carole just freaks out. What a great moment!
Tapestry was on the charts for something like 25 years.
Yep i bought it about 10 years ago, its fantatic.
I owned the original vinyl of Tapestry and wore it out. Then the 8-track, then the cassette, then the CD and now it’s on my phone digitally. Please go down this rabbit hole, sir!
At the 14th Grammy Awards in 1972, Carole King earned the distinction of becoming the first woman to win multiple Grammys in the General Field, with "Tapestry" winning Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female as well as Song Of The Year ("You've Got A Friend") and Record Of The Year ("It's Too Late"); all three releases were later inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame, while King received the Recording Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013.
Smack water Jack was another off the top of my head! Start to
Finish album!!!
Your taking a 67 year old women and turning her into a 17 year old girl with all the seventies songs! I love you! ❤❤
Young women were learning to speak what we felt and she helped so much. I was 18 when this was playing on the RADIO🤗
Carol King wrote natural woman
Actually she is 82!
@@susanpeterson9947 I believe @windinthefirtrees8020 was referring to her own age and experience.
Sweet.
She is first and foremost a songwriter. Almost a reluctant performer.
She wrote or co-wrote 118 Billboard Top 100 songs.
Carole King was only 15 when she began writing songs. One of the most successful female songwriters. She wrote or co-wrote over 500 songs. 118 pop hits on the Billboard Hot 100.
The LEGENDARY Carol King is one of the greatest, most prolific
Singer/songwriters of ALL time!!!!
Male or female.
The quintessential singer songwriter who started writing iconic pop songs in the 60s and recorded one of the best and iconic albums of the era, Tapestry, in 1971. She wrote songs for Aretha Franklin among other top recording artists
If you could write one song like her, "You've Got A Friend", you'd be set for life. Of course, she did much more.
Met my wife in '71. We're still here and this was and is 'our song'.
Carole King and James Taylor (another fantastic singer) have been besties for like forever. His first big hit (Fire and Rain) includes the line "I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend." Carole wrote "You've Got a Friend" in reply. They both recorded it as solos and also as a duet.
She wrote Aretha Franklin’ You make me feel” James Taylor’s “You’ve Got a Friend 🎉
Amazing talent 🎉❤
"Natural Woman"
Had a brain fart! Thank you 🙏
WHO IS SHE ??? A GREAT AMERICAN SONG WRITER AND PERFORMER... FOR REAL !
Ghettos are deeper and darker than any cave in earth...
Only 2nd to ignorance....
Certainly a songwriter.
One of the greatest song writers of her generation. By the time she was doing this concert she was already a songwriting legend. She was honored by the Kennedy Center. During this event Aretha Franklin did her greatest song "A Natural Woman". React to that. Her catalog of songs is huge and important to music.
Definitely react to that! Her reaction to Aretha singing her song is priceless.
Agree!!! This Kennedy Center reaction is a must react!
I can't think of any house that didn't have a copy of Tapestry in the 70's. Carol is on of the great song writers for sure.
Mine didnt...into heavier music at the time. I admit she has immense talent ,just not my style...
@@Cchan53 l'm a ways older than you. I will say very aged. It seemed like it was that album Fleetwood Mac Rumours, Eagles Hotel California, Elton John Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and of course Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon.
I have my mom’s copy!
Still do😊
A young co-worker of mine told me her mother said every mother should give their daughter Carol King's Tapestry album.
🌹
She's right. ❤
My mother gave me this album when I was a teenager, and it has always been one of the best I’ve ever heard.
@@heathensportsballmom6888 Mom knows best.
Carol King wrote some of the best songs from the 70s. She’s a musical genius and has over 100 top hits. She’s right up there with Lennon/McCartney and Bob Dylan.
Gerry Goffin and Carole King wrote so many 60s hits, incuding the classics “Up on the Roof” for the Drifters, "One Fine Day" for The Chiffons, and "Pleasant Valley Sunday" for the Monkees.
Fun fact: King was even able to write a hit song that made her babysitter, Eva Boyd, also known as Little Eva, a big star. Little Eva rose to stardom in 1962 with her hit song “The Loco-Motion", written by Goffin and King.
Goffin and King's collaboration reached its pinnacle with Aretha Franklin’s recording of “You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman” in 1967.
A legend - She wrote Natural Woman that was sung by Aretha Franklin and so many others - a 70s legend. Aretha sang it at the Kennedy honors honoring Carol king -It was awesome 👏 💚💚💚🦠🦠
Nothing can beat the music of the 70's ever.
The 80's do. The 70's were a lull between the 60's and the 80's.
@@sandgrownun66disagree. I lived thru it all. 70’s rule with 80’s close behind. It all boils down to personal preference though.
@@InspectorVol
Or when you were in full blown puberty...lol
The '60s music rates up there with the '70s.
@@InspectorVol You're wrong. Pop music lost it's way in the 70's. Take bloated rock, and Disco. The 80's got things back on track. With many new genres created and the adoption of new technology.
I love seeing these younger people "discovering" the superstars of our era---its like sending them into a diamond mine and telling them "maybe you will find something worthwhile...."
I think you've probably heard a couple of Carol King songs: "Natural Woman", "I Feel The Earth Move", maybe even "Loco Motion". She wrote and co-wrote 118 top 10 Billboard songs, mostly for others. She hit big with her second album "Tapestry", and became the sound-track to our lives in the late '70's. Carly Simon and Carol King had James Taylor in common. Can we visit Laurel Canyon in the '70's? Carol, James, Joni, Neil, Jim, Jackson, Linda . . .
I'm sure you've seen "The Troubadours," if not check it out. One of the best documentaries on those artists. Enjoy
She did in fact Locomotion. And never ever forget Will You Love Me Tomorrow. I so fortunate enough to see Beautiful on Broadway in 2015. It was something I will never forget.
He claimed to never have heard Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer earlier this week. I wouldn't be shocked if he had never heard Natural Woman.
Carol's main occupation is/was song writing. She toured with James Taylor and he convinced her to record some of her songs. He played on half of the songs on her Tapestry album.
She's a big enough deal to warrant a Kennedy Center honor with Aretha Franklin singing her "Natural Women." it's also one of the best videos I've seen.
This is from her 14 times platinum album, Tapestry. She started as a song writer and then was encouraged to sing her own songs
She wrote one of Areatha Franklin's signature sings Natural Woman.
I have it on vinyl it’s epic
Carol King paved the way for female singer/songwriters from the 70’s going forward. Everyone has heard the soul tune “I Feel the Earth Move Under My Feet”. Not everyone knows that the song was written by and first performed by Carol King.
Listen to Far Away and You’ve got a Friend.
This is Carol King. She's a legend.
Bring her back again BP...please. She has soooooo many beautiful songs. Her song writing is so heart felt and relatable. Undeniably one of the top songwriter/singer. She can do no wrong musically...imo.
Carole King is a legend singer and writer
Loved her music for 50 years
I'm from the UK
Dude, Carol King is one of the most prolific songwriters of the late 50’s through the 70’s and beyond. I predict you’ll be shocked to find how many songs you’ve heard that she either wrote or co-wrote. She started out writing for others as a teen with a writing partner, Gerry Goffin, whom she married in 1959, becoming one of the biggest writing teams of the early rock era. They divorced in 1969 at which time she went solo and soon started a recording career. We’re talking bona fide HOF credentials here. Check out her work, like Natural Woman (for Aretha Franklin), You’ve Got a Friend, So Far Away, I Feel the Earth Move, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow and many others, each as good or better than this one.
She is a legend in rock 'n roll history. Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow and Loco-Motion are two of her earliest. There are so many she wrote.
The "pick a note" comment before they started was Carole giving the guitar player a random note off the piano so he could use it to make sure his guitar was in tune. Classic song!!
You have to see the Kennedy Honors for Carole King where Aretha Franklin sings natural woman. Classic!!!!
Such a great performance!
Singer-songwriters James Taylor and Carole King have been friends and collaborators for more than 50 years. When you have a moment, check out a restored video from 1971 of James Taylor on guitar singing "You've Got A Friend" with Carole accompanying him on piano. The video is on RUclips titled "James Taylor & Carole King - You've Got A Friend (BBC In Concert, 11/13/71)".
"You've Got A Friend" was written by Carole King, and her version of this song is included on her album "Tapestry." James Taylor's version of this song is included on his album "Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon," and was released as a single in May 1971, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
Since "Tapestry" was recorded in an overlap with "Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon," musicians were shared between albums. So, James Taylor and guitarist Danny Kortchmar perform on both versions of "You've Got A Friend." 😊
You've Got a Friend, Tapestry, Beautiful, Smack Water Jack, Way Over Yonder, Far Away, Will You Love Me Tomorrow and so many more
Brother, Brother is my fav
She is a LEGEND... nuff said.
Fun fact, did you know that the drummer for Tool, Danny Carey, played the drums for Carole King?
'will you still love me tomorrow' is arguably the best song written by carole!!!
Carol King is the person Neil Sedaka sang about in his song "Oh Carol".
She recorded an answer song, Oh, Neil!
Welcome to perhaps the most successful female songwriter of the Rock era, Carole King did much to shape the sound of 60s and 70s Pop music, first as a prolific writer of hits for others and then as a hugely successful solo artist!
In addition to her voice and great piano playing, Ms King was one of the best song writers of the past 50 years. Fire and Rain, Child of Mine, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, I Felt the Earth Move Under My Feet. She wrote for herself and for other singers, about 120 songs which reached the Billboard charts.
'Fire and Rain' isn't hers, it's all James Taylor's. Otherwise, all great Carole songs. King/Queen, pop royalty regardless. 👑
😊🤙🏼🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊
…..if you want your mind blown, read all her accolades ! All the songs she wrote for dozens of artist in the day ❤️
I guess I shouldn't be surprise that you didn't know Carole King, yet I am. She is one of the biggest "hit" songwriters of my lifetime. I am 77 this year. The tapestry album has many of her best songs. She has many more, sung and recorded by many big name artists.
Carole King's Tapestry album was the number 1 album for 15 weeks in 1971 and spent nearly 6 years on the charts! Every song on it is a classic. ❤
You are going to be amazed when you discover how many hit songs she wrote for her and other artists. She is truly amazing.
My favorite album by Carol King is Tapestry, she won all kinds of awards on this album, lots of number one hits too! She is so talented lyrically, vocally and musically. Love this tune!
Thanks Black Pegasus 👍💕
"Lovely" is a perfect description for Carol King. She's not loud or crazy or over the top but she and her music are so endearing.
Check out "Beautiful" or, really anything off of her "Tapestry" album. I's a whole mood.
Can't go wrong... ever, with the Carol.
Carlos King is a great song writer. She wrote Aretha Franklin’s hit You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman. She wrote every song she sang. She started out as a songwriter for others.
Her album "Tapestry" really resonated with me and other young women of that era. Btw, she is a prolific songwriter. She began her career in the fifties. She's a Living Legend!
No. 1 female songwriter in the US and UK. Album 'Tapestry' spent 15 weeks as #1 on the album charts and remained on the charts for 6 years. 2013 Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. 2015 Kennedy Center Honoree. Four Grammys.
Carole King is one of the legends of the industry and one of her best friends is James Taylor who she has performed with many times over the years. She and James swap tunes out of their catalogues and she has written songs for some of the biggest names in the industry. You will be amazed at her history and her talent as a composer, writer, and singer...
She wrote so many amazing songs, "Up on the Roof", "You make me feel like a Natural Woman", "You've got a friend" to name a few.
ANOTHER TIMELESS CLASSIC.
Broken keyboard?
My favorite song by her is I Feel The Earth Move 🔥🔥❤️❤️
You're so far away.
Makes me cry every time
Carole King is one of America`s greatest songwriters, having written endless classic 60`s hits by the time she recorded her first solo album Tapestry which included It`s Too Late and stayed in the album charts for years. Her career is definitely worth looking into.
No auto tune no fake just real music 👏
A bit of a Fun Fact for y’all :
In 1966, Carole King co-wrote a song (with Gerry Goffin) called “Goin’ Back”
It was most-famously recorded by Dusty Springfield (1966) … then by The Byrds (1967) and by Nils Lofgren (1975)
BUT one of the more obscure versions that later became much-sought by serious collectors was :
the 1973 recording by one *Larry Lurex*
Why? Because “Larry Lurex” was actually a pseudonym for one Freddie Mercury !
(Brian May on guitar and Roger Taylor on drums also played on this one)
Many years later, a snippet of the Larry Lurex vocals on “Goin’ Back” was added at the end of the Queen song “Mother Love” , in an audio backwards montage of Freddie’s career. (“Mother Love” was on Queen’s 1995 album Made in Heaven)
So yes, in a way, Carole King is part of Queen’s history/ lore… and a bit of HER song was included in with Freddie’s last recorded vocals.
Man, you gotta listen to “Mother Love” (lyric video, not the student-made “official” video) …
There is a surprise with the last verse…and if you react to it, I’ll tell you WHY it happened in the comments.
(NOBODY GIVE IT AWAY!! NO SPOILERS!!)
She bit the nail in the head. Couples split when they quit trying. Couples that stay together till death do them part, are the ones that never stop trying. They never give up. Life is no easier for them than it is for the couples that decide to split. I love Carol King and her natural look and performances. She has never needed the extremes that we see now with performers. She barely even wears makeup and she is still beautiful.
Carole King was a great songwriter in the 60's. She and her partner wrote Up On the Roof for the Drifters, The Loco-Motion for Little Eva, Will You Love Me Tomorrow for The Shirelles, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman for Aretha Franklin, One Fine Day by the Chiffons, and Go Away Little Girl for Steve Lawrence. Then in 1971, she recorded her own album called Tapestry which went on to be hugely successful! In addition to this song, it included You've Got a Friend, So Far Away, and I Feel the Earth Move in addition to her versions of some of her previous hits. Then later she also recorded Been to Canaan, and Jazzman. All great songs!
Carol King is legendary
One of, if not, the best singer/songwriters of ALL TIME!! That is not hyperbole! Her songs have been sung by many great artists - Aretha Franklin, James Taylor, just to name two. You should Google her as a songwriter, not just a singer. And yes, she wrote It's Too Late, which is on her album Tapestry. One of the single greatest albums of all time!
A piano a guitar a voice and a live performance ... raw talent and brilliant
She, along with Goffin, wrote a lot of early Motown stuff. In her very early years she was a staff writer in the Griff Building in New York.
Carole King is a hall of fame legend. ❤
She's known even more as a song writer than singer. Many classics in the 60's were hers.
Listen to Tapestry, one of the greatest albums of all time. One of the All time Greats an amazing artist
One of the greatest!
Enjoy going down the Carloe King rabbit hole. She is amazing !
Her Tapestry album is sublime.
Carol King an iconic song writer.
“Will you still love me tomorrow” is my favorite. Her voice became even richer as she got a little older.
One of the great singer-songwriters of all time.
She’s a two time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. For her songwriting and for her solo career. In other words she’s a beast in the industry.
Carole King is a legend! Keep going down the rabbit hole you won’t be disappointed!!!
Carole King was/is a legendary singer songwriter all during the 1950’s-1970’s. The first time I saw her perform, she was doing a casual gig in San Francisco. She also was a serious anti war, civil rights activist. I think that she wrote music for everyone during the 1960’s-1970’s. My favorite album of hers was “Tapestry”! I have a signed copy of that album; I feel so blessed 🥹❣️ You’ll never go wrong with her iconic style! I just love your channel; not only do you play legendary music from the past, but you also bring us old boomers up to date! Thanks so very much for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us 🙏❣️
PS You’re really funny as well 😄❗️
This is the soundtrack of my childhood. My mother played this album until the needle on the turntable wore out!
And, I have to say, I am shocked that you have never heard of Carole. Not only is she a great musician, but she's one of the most prolific song writers of all time. Listen to the entirety of Tapestry. It's outstanding!
The album Tapestry was #1 for 15 weeks, and stayed on the Billboard charts for a staggering THREE HUNDRED weeks.
One of the finest American songwriters.
There was this blend in the 70s of kinda blues/jazz and folk. Carole, Janis, several singers used it and it is really a unique sound.
According to Randy Newman: "I think you could make a pretty good case that Carole King and Gerry Goffin (who was married to Carole from 1959 to 1969) were the best popular songwriters of the last half of the 20th century. I love "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow.""
Acording to James Taylor: "The singer-songwriter genre was named around 1970, give or take, and was said to apply to me and, among others Joni Mitchell, Cat Stevens and Jackson Browne. Why that supposed movement didn’t begin with Bob Dylan or even Woody Guthrie or Robert Johnson beats me - maybe they were still “folk”. But, if it means anything, Carole King deserves to be thought of as its epitome. I’d been deep into her songs - Up on the Roof, Natural Woman, Crying in the Rain - for a decade before Danny Kortchmar introduced us in Los Angeles in 1970. She played piano on my "Sweet Baby James" album while working on the songs for her own "Tapestry.""
Revered as one of the greatest albums of all time, Carole King's 1971 chart-topping, multiplatinum classic album "Tapestry" solidified the singer/songwriter genre and forever cemented her as an iconic artist and songwriter.
Thanks for all that info. That was great.
Tapestry was one of greatest albums ever ❤
She wrote "You Got A Friend" in response to James Taylor's "Fire And Rain" which has a line that says "...I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again"
Definitely check out "So Far Away", very powerful and touching song.
An American icon. She wrote songs for a who's who of artists. And her own album Tapestry is one of the great albums of all time
I didn’t see others mention that Carole King’s 1971 album Tapestry, was added to the Library of Congress National Recording Registry in 2004. Her album is now one of 100 recordings on that list that are deemed to be culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant. Carole has also been honored at the Kennedy Center Honors and has won the Gershwin Prize. She is an absolute American treasure and has written more songs that you have likely heard, but never knew who wrote them. Her vocals are good, but her songwriting is stellar. I would encourage you to read her bio as it is mind blowing.
Amasingly known more as a songwriter than a singer, so many hits came from her musical mind.
One of the most beloved and prolific singer songwriters ever !
Carole King is a PROLIFIC songwriter. She's an American music institution, writing tons of early rock, especially the girl groups. Tapestry was her first album, which didn't come out until the early 1970s after years of writing for other people. Every song on it is a gem with plenty of the songs covered by other artists, including Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin.
Extremely underrated songwriter. And yet she put out top blockbuster hits others covered across several decades
Including
Loco motion
One fine day
Up on the roof
You've got a friend
Will you love me tomorrow
You make me feel like
I feel the earth move
I went into my cupboard and dig out Tapestry after seeing this. I couldn’t decide if the enjoyment and memories made sad or happy-maybe both. She is special.
Great reaction BP. Very good analysis.
Carole King helped create so many hits for other groups. She and her then husband wrote 118 top hits on the Billboard top 100 during the 50s 60s and 70s. You could do a deep dive on groups singing her songs. Then she stepped out on stage and wow! a star was born. Her album, Tapestry was on the Billboard charts for 312 weeks (yes, I googled it). Lol! Try Smackwater Jack or she sings a duet with James Taylor called You've got a friend which is excellent.
I hope the family is doing well.
Every teen girl/young woman in the 70s had this album. I still have mine, 50 years later. She was probably the best female singer/songwriter of our generation.
I love Carol King!!!
So do I ....
"Real good" is kind of an understatement. She was a BIG deal in the industry in the day. Both out front and behind the scenes.
cool choice from one of the most gifted singer songwriters ever. she wrote loads of top hits, Locomotion - Little Eva, up on the roof - the drifters, I'm into something good - Herman's hermits, one fine day - the chiffons, pleasant valley Sunday - the monkees, you make me feel like a natural woman - Aretha franklin , just to name a few, then you go into her own work, a great rabbit hole to jump into :)
Carole King Klein is an American singer-songwriter and musician who has been active since 1958. One of the most successful female songwriters of the latter half of the 20th century in the US, she wrote or co-wrote 118 pop hits on the Billboard Hot 100. King has made 25 solo albums, the most successful being Tapestry, which held the record for most weeks at No. 1 by a female artist for more than 20 years. Her record sales were estimated at more than 75 million copies worldwide. She also wrote 61 hits that charted in the UK, making her the most successful female songwriter on the UK singles charts between 1962 and 2005. Peace out.
This is one of the best singer/songwriters of all time. This whole album is epic. She wrote hit songs that Aretha Franklin had hits from.
For more than a decade before she became a recording artist, Carole King had a very successful songwriting career, working out of the Brill Building in NYC. In 1971 she finally began singing her own songs. Her first album, “Tapestry,” was the biggest selling album of all time for awhile. I think the soundtrack from “Saturday Night Fever” finally exceeded it.
LOL! She wrote your freaking outro, dude! Thank You For Being A Friend, The Golden Girls theme song, was written by Carole King ❤️😁❤️😁
that’s insane!!!!!! 🤯
It was written by Andrew Gold, Carole wrote, You've got a friend @@BlackPegasusRaps
@@BlackPegasusRapsEnjoy!!!
@@BlackPegasusRaps hey, I misspoke, Carole King did NOT write the theme song to The Golden Girls, she wrote the theme song to Gilmore Girls 🤦♀️. Sorry about that!
She’s one of the greatest USA songwriters. Her songs were recorded by all of the greats. Check Aretha Franklin’s version of Carole King’s classic “You make me feel (like a natural woman)”.
