I don't think we will EVER see the level of singer/songwriter talent that the 60's/70's gave us. Carole is a perfect example. The entire Tapestry album is a masterpiece.
Facts.
Amen.
Tapestry, Hot August Night by Neil Diamond, The Best of Bread, the Beatles White Album and Jesus Christ Superstar. I wore those vinyls OUT. Occasionally for a little variety, the Greateest Hits of Simon and Garfunkel.
No, it's a step above a masterpiece probably the best album ever recorded.
Agreed
Girl, you need to see Aretha singing Natural Women at the Kenned Center honors that honored Carole King. the Obama's cried. And Carole's reaction was epic.
The BEST!
Absolutely, a must watch dear Aretha God. Rest your beautiful Soul ❣️ ✨️ 😍
Yassss!
Indeed! I've watched that a number of times, and Carole's reactions are almost as fun to watch as Aretha's epic performance!
And she needs to be informed that Carole wrote the music, but her husband songwriting partner Gerry Goffin wrote the lyrics.
King spent about 10 year writing songs for others, before recording herself. Many giant hits. Some:
Take Good Care of My Baby,- Bobby VeeI
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday, the Monkees
Dont Say Nothing Bad About My Baby
One Fine Day, The ChiffonsDont Bring Me Down, The Animals
Crying in the Rain - the Everly Brothers
Im Into Something Good,Hermans Hermits
The Loco-Motion, Little Eva
Up on the Roof -the Drifters
The Shirelles’ “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,”
Chains - the Beatles
(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman
Goin Back - Dusty Springfield
These songs filled my teenage years wow.
Neil Sedaka song Oh Carol was about Carol King 'cause he had the hots for her.
Wow
I’m Into Something Good was of my favorite Herman’s Hermits songs! Have a couple of those albums along with the Monkeys as I was in 5th and 6th grade when most of those songs came out in early sixties!
@@lantose Me too... I was 17yo and met them when they were playing in a small disco in Leeds UK... they'd just hit the charts... nice Guys. we were so close to them we had to step back to give them room to sing.... I never knew Carole King wrote it though.
You're falling in love with Carol like we did back in the early seventies. So much talent packed in one beautiful woman.
Her album Tapestry is a genuine masterpiece.
Everyone I knew in the 70's had that album.
These kids today have no idea what true talent is...we had no auto tune, just pure and natural talent.
She is amazing. Wrote so many hits (with her husband) for so many other artists, and then just killed it with Tapestry.
Carole King wrote some of the most relatable lyrics of her era.
They hold up today, and many people don't know she wrote as many hits as she did.
Her tapestry album was huge.
But before then, King/Goffin produced hit after hit after hit, for other 60's artists. They were up close to Lennon/McCartney league, as duo writers.
I played it till it had new grooves in it.
Carole King has always been one of the greatest sweethearts in the music industry. Truly. Not to mention a tremendous songwriter and musician.
As others have mentioned, Aretha's performance of Natural Woman at the Kennedy Center honors for Carole King is definitely worth a watch. As it turned out, it was Aretha's last performance before she passed away.
If you feel like exploring more of Carole's music, you won't be disappointed - she wrote or co-wrote almost 120 songs that reached the top 100. Yes, almost 120 top 100 hits. She was a masterful songwriter. If you feel like exploring more of James' music, you won't be disappointed - he's sold as many albums as Tina Turner, the Beach Boys, David Bowie, and Stevie Wonder just to give you a sense of his fame. Their collaborations together will last forever - such beautiful, timeless music.
I have Carols Autograph. A legend in the music industry and you will never find a sweeter more caring woman! She is exciting and high on life!
Carole was a primary writer for the Carpenters. She was told be record producers that she didn't have the face of what they were looking for. She forged ahead, with the help of artists who said SHE is what is right.
Even more impressive, no Auto-Tune, no digital effects or keyboard, and only took herself to write it.
Way Over Yonder is a must for you and anyone else to hear too! It's about Heaven. It touches me still today, my soul vibes with the truth!
As an old head from the 60's and 70's thanks for the memories! Love seeing your generation's reaction and love for all music. Keep it up youngster!
She’s currently 82. A member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
This is probably my favorite Carol King song because it becomes more relavent with every year that passes think of this song 20 years from now and see how true that statement is
Tapestry is a great album by Carol King. Not a bad song on it.
I love to see you loving Carole. I feel the same way.
From Wikipedia:
Tapestry is the second studio album by Carole King, released on February 10, 1971. The album's lead singles, "It's Too Late" and "I Feel the Earth Move", spent five weeks at number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Easy Listening charts.
Tapestry has been certified 14× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. Tapestry won four Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Record of the Year.
James Taylor, who encouraged King to sing her own songs and who also played on Tapestry, had a number one hit with "You've Got a Friend" later in 1971.
Tapestry was one of my first music purchases.
Yes, a national treasure. Her Tapestry album is unmatched…we knew it would be the minute we listened to this album release, all of us heard and loved her…
Dont forget will you still love me tomorrow
True story…I was gifted her Tapestry album 50+ years ago because the friend who had bought it “didn’t like her voice”. I still have and enjoy that album. Thanks so much for your excellent reactions to Carole, James and everyone else!
Oh hell, another suggestion, "Midnight Blue" by Melissa Manchester.
'She's a national treasure'. And that she most certainly is!
Her album "Tapestry" has nothing but hits. It was first LP when I was 14 in 1970. Big fan ever since. Song writer extraordinaire! Catch the Broadway musical play Beuatiful" about her life if you can. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beautiful:_The_Carole_King_Musical
YES!
She was writing hits as a teenager.
Her whole album "Tapestry" is great.
Carol King is such a beautiful song writer.
Thank god that Joni Mitchell convinced King to write and record her own music.
Tapestry is an album that should be in any music lovers collection. An American treasure.
Can you IMAGINE going to work in the Brill Building with writers like that?!
She’s a genius level songwriter.
Peace
Check out "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" either her version or The Shirelles version. The Shirelles version was a #1 Hit back in 1961. Carole King co-wrote this song for The Shirelles when Carole was just a teenager.
IN A LEAGUE OF HER OWN WHEN IT COMES TO MUSIC COWBOYS 👍
Other Carole performed songs "It's Too Late" "Sweet Seasons" "Mr. Jazzman" and "Where You Lead" Others she wrote for others "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" (The Shirelles), "Natural Woman (Aretha Franklin), "The Locomotion" (Little Eva), "One Fine Day" (The Chiffons), "Pleasant Valley Sunday" (The Monkees), "Up On The Roof" (The Drifters), "I'm Into Something Good" (Herman's Hermits), "Take Good Care of my Baby" (Bobby Vee),
She writes about simple but essential things. Things people think but cannot put into words. Creativity reached its apex between 1968 and 1973. I could spent the rest of my life just listening to music from that time period.
Her Tapestry album is epic. Check out "Been to Canaan" and "Up on the roof." Carole's 2 daughters are also singers.
Rumor has it that she heard James Taylors song Fire and Rain and wrote his #1 You've Got a Friend in response. He tributes that to her.
The bass player was married to Carole from 1970-76 and is the father of two of her children.
She writes melodies that feel like they have always existed.
There was a Broadway musical about her life entitled Beautiful.
Carole Kings album Tapestry was one of my favorites when I was younger. This takes me back.
There’s a much more recent performance by them performing her - It’s Too Late
It is from the album Tapestry (so was You've Got a Friend that you reviewed yesterday, but it was Carol's own version. Tapestry was the top selling album of all time before being passed by Michael Jackson Thriller. An absolutely seminal record
Tapestry album, every song 🎵 is awesome.
Carole King is without a doubt one of the greatest songwriters of our era. I also recommend Laura Nyro. You will be very pleasantly surprised to see how many great songs Laura wrote in her life that was sadly cut short by cancer.
Carole was a neighbor of mine in the early 1980's. Britt, you read Carole perfectly. Sweet and genuine. We lived in a tiny area called Sunbeam, Idaho (Carole bought the Robinson Bar Ranch a couple miles down the Salmon River). Less than 100 lived people in the area. Had one store that was the grocery, post office, cafe, gas station, etc. She treated everyone kindly and cheerfully. Can't say enough nice things about Carole King.
That is just precious to hear.
She also wrote the very cynical “Pleasant Valley Sunday” for The Monkees. Definitely worth a listen.
The internet / social media and always being superficially connected has stolen the feeling of being far away, on the road / with "nothing to do but close my mind" with your dreams in your head. Not sure if brilliant songs like this will ever be made again.
Two things. Aretha sang Natural Woman for/to Carol when Carol was honored at the Kennedy Center in DC. Maybe the best version by Aretha I've ever heard. Carol is in tears by the end. Very moving performance!! Second, Carol has been writing hit songs since the 60"s. She and her husband Jerry Goffin were a songwriting team. They wrote many classics. Check out, "Up on the Roof", "Under the Boardwalk". But she didn't really start performing live shows until this period you see. But now was writing mostly by herself. Her album Tapestry was HUGE. Every girl I knew, had it. I believe these two videos were from 1970 or 71. But whether you react to Aretha at the Kennedy Center or not. Just go watch it. PURE LOVE!!!
Every guy had Tapestry too. It had universal appeal. Great songwriting will do that.
Her music just feels 'familiar'. It's like, she sings a song and introduces you to the best friend you never knew you had. 🥰
This 70's girl wore out Carole's "Tapestry" album along with Bread's "If"! Love...love...love
Carol King is someone you would like to sit back with, have a cup of tea just chat about whatever.
her cd Tapestry, is the best "rainy day" music out there. i abide by it. whether you need a good cry or you "got the morbs" or just need to sigh a few thousand times- i'm telling you, it really is the best cd ever.
Now that you are in Carole's "rabbit hole", you must check out, "It's Too Late", a beautiful but sad breakup song. It's amazing that you feel like singing the words along with Ms. King. So many of us feel the same way.
Britt, these two artists are musical icons. I'm 60 years old and I so appreciate you reacting to the music that I was raised on. Thank you. Your reactions are truly sincere and you reveal your heart to all of us watching!
I love the bass in this. You hardly notice it, but it's there adding support to the foundation of this performance.
This is another one of those musicians life on the road songs.
And don't forget the Broadway show "Beautiful" is her life story!!
Other great tunes Carole King wrote are "It's Too Late" #1 in 1971, "Chains" which was recorded by The Beatles in 1963, "Locomotion" which was recorded by Little Eva 1962 #1 and 1974 by Grand Funk Railroad #1, "One Fine Day" recorded top five hit for The Chiffons in 1962, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" recorded by The Shirelles #1 hit in 1960, and even the psychedelic rock hit from the film, 'Easy Rider' by The Byrds, "Wasn't Born to Follow" in 1968.
When I was in high school I had a cassette tape player with these songs, I would play it as I got ready for school.
One of my favorite songs off of her Tapestry album ❤When U was 7 or 8 years old I learned the words to all of the songs off of that album.
With your Dolly t-shirt in the background, it looks like she's watching Carole in loving sisterhood and admiration. ☮️💜🤘
Carrol wrote the classic song “”Up On The Roof” with Jerry Goffin when she was like 16 years old, a huge hit recorded by The Drifters, and much later by James Taylor.
The musical 'Beautiful' is about Carole King. She wrote the music and Gerry Goffin was her lyricist. They married, had kids, had monster song hits for a lot of groups and he kept cheating on her until she threw him out. Tapestry came after she moved to California.
Carole King Klein[3] (born Carol Joan Klein; February 9, 1942) 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
Love Carol king and her music. Just recently seen beautiful the Carol king g musical. It was great.
Count me among the millions of teenage girls of the 70s who wore out her Tapestry album. I recommend putting the entire album on your play list.
You need to listen to the “Tapestry” album …. but if you take the time, you’ll be blown away by the number of songs she’s written for others … she’s special.
she's awesome in every way.....few songwriters, past or present, male or female can hold a candle to her
I find this to be undeniably true.
Being captivated by her, as you have become in the last few days, is not uncommon. I clearly recall as a 5th grader, sitting in the bedroom of a neighborhood buddy's older sister, listening to her (and sneaking to do so) Carol King album, Tapestry from front to back. And simply feeling her crawl into my very soul. I've been captivated since. You keep me coming back to your channel because you've got good taste and instincts--particularly in your 70s love--and it's just a delight to be taken back to that "first precious feeling" of my youth. Thanks for supplying it.
This song held such meaning when I was a young man... and even more as an older man.
My favourite carol king song, it’s beautiful
I’ll never get tired of singing Carole’s praises. It’s a legitimate tragedy more people don’t know this master. She’s tip top… right up there at the apex. Carole is a monster… in the best way.
Carole and James were married.
Tapestry is a beautiful song. We were so blessed to grow up with them.
I saw James Taylor here is Australia about 70 yrs old, he was AMAZING.
I thought James Taylor and Carly Simon were married. No matter James Taylor, Carly Simon, Carole King were fantastic and this is when I remember their music back in the late 60's or early 70's and I loved it.
She's made DOZENS of LP's - and all the tracks you mention, all came from one!
Maybe one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Her whole “Tapestry” album is fantastic. She’s one of the 5 best songwriters who’ve ever lived.
Carole King sure hits you in the heart, doesn't she??? :)
Carole King and Gerry Goffin, who wrote so many wonderful songs together, also were married for 10 years.
I believe Gerry wrote the lyrics to this song and she wrote the melody, and delivering it with her wonderful, touching style, her soul ❤
Carol is the writer and composer of So Far Away.
For Birtt's info', Carole wrote the lyrics, as she did for most of the songs on Tapestry.
@othermotte Gerry Goffin wrote the lyrics to Natural Woman and Carole King, the melody. My mistake
@@wanderer0617Gerry Goffin wrote lots of great lyrics and doesn’t get the credit he deserves.
Isn't she just wonderful? Glad you're catching up with her enchanting songs.
She wrote a ballad, a tale from the Wild West, entitled "Smackwater Jack." A little more of a darkly funny tone. Shows her range in writing.
I saw her and James Taylor about 2010. Fabulous.
She’s enchanting baby girl…like you. Good to see you back❤️🙏👏🏻
For a tear-jerker from a consummate songwriter, have you listened to Fire & Rain by James Taylor? A true story from his troubled youth.
This Carole King song, also brings to mind the Moody Blues song: " Lovely To See You Again."
It’s a mood she is creating. With the key, the chords, the melodies and the lyrics. One of a kind.
yeah girl the songs are simple yet complex. Carol was a great song writer and song writer and producer.
James and King, two of the Best song writers of all time.
I feel in awe of her ease of poetic expression...simple emotions that echo deep within us all.
Carol King has written over 400 songs.
100 of them are timeless hits.
The vibe you were feeling was that Flower Child feeling in the 70s it was beautiful to say the least.
Very insightful and sensitive reaction. Joni Mitchell is another great . And your curls are stunning. ❤❤
Tapestry was the first LP I ever bought. It still holds up.
My fav part is the flute at the end
Check out her gospel song, "Way Over Yonder" off the Tapestry album.
‘Moved’ and ‘lovely’ are perfect descriptions
In 1987, King was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and, a year later, Goffin and King were awarded the National Academy of Songwriters' Lifetime Achievement Award.
Now you got it. My favorite CK song. It takes me all the way back.
It was such a beautiful time in eastern va. in the early 70s everyone was your friend.The music was the icing on the cake.
