Carol King is a once in a lifetime writer. EVERYONE owned Tapestry. She was an epic writer
Tapestry is one of the best albums ever.
Even before Carole became a singer, she and her former husband wrote tons of hit songs in the 50s and 60s. Will You Love Me Tomorrow, Take Good Care of My Baby, Go Away Little Girl, Up On The Roof, One Fine Day, You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman, and more. They wrote the song "Loco-Motion" for their babysitter, Little Eva.
Neil Sedaka wrote the song "Oh! Carol" about her, because they dated in high school.
The musical "Beautiful" is about her.
I saw her in a concert in Frankfurt, Germany, when I was in the Air Force and stationed over there. She dedicated "So Far Away" to us American military members.
I recommend "I Feel The Earth Move".
Honestly you should just listen to the entire Tapestry album in a single video. There’s no bad songs on there
So true! One of greatest albums ever!
He just did the whole tapestry album. It’s on patreon
So, so well said. THE WHOLE ALBUM IS SHEER ARTISTIC MAGIC. Tapestry is one of the greatest albums in modern music history and reminds me of the sheer genius of this woman.❤
Repeat that, 30 million copies world wide. A landmark album.
Tapestry was a HUGE success. "I Feel the Earth Move" next, please.
It's difficult to fully appreciate Carole King with one song. Her body of work tells her story. I'd do "I feel the Earth Move" or "So Far Away" next.
I like so far away better
I couldn't agree more.
Before putting out her own album, Carol wrote so many hit songs for other artist in the 60's. Her work with James Taylor are fantastic.
And think one of the reasons why she took so long to make her own album, cause I heard she thought she couldn't sing?!!, she thought she just had the talent to write for others. I said this before, but im glad she got over that, or this classic album would have never been.
Tapestry is a work of art. A lot of people would argue that it’s one of the best all time albums ever.
Please never apologize for your long intros; I love that you dive a little deeper into the artist. I have been listening to Carole King for 50 years and did not know all the facts you talked about it.
Tapestry is a masterpiece; So Far Away, You've Got a Friend, I Feel the Earth Move!
I agree. Seems no other reactor delves into the backstory.
Carole King is a singer, songwriter & musician who started out in 1958. King's major success began in the 1960's when she & her first husband Gerry Goffin, wrote more than two dozen chart hits for other artists. Her solo "Tapestry" record is one of the all time biggest selling albums. Lots of great songs such as "Will You Love Me Tomorrow", "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman", "You've Got A Friend", "I Feel The Earth Move", "Where You Lead" etc.
To be Clear "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" [Gerry Goffin/Carole King] was her own remake of the Shirelles' Hit from 1960, slowed down into a ballad.
You've Got A Friend is one of the greatest songs ever written IMO
There is a Broadway Musical based on her life, called Beautiful.
If you were in a college dorm in the early 1970's, there were 3 albums playing in every room: CSN, Sweet Baby James, and Tapestry.
"Jazzman" may be my favorite of all Carole's recordings. The song is pure joy.
You asked how two songs could be #1 at the same time. I’m not sure they could, but remember, in 1971 a single was literally a single on Vinyl, with an A side and a B side.
The reason is because lou adler released its to late and on the flip side put I feel the earth move. Disc jockeys loved and played both sides .fyi.
Don't forget So far Away. Tapestry is one of the greatest albums ever.
Carol King is recolonized as the best and most successful female songwriter of ALL time, writing first between her and her first husband Garry Goldfein, she composed the music and he wrote the lyrics, and in 1970 she became a solo artist/singer/songwriter having several #-1's, besides that she wrote several other hits for various other famous artists since 1959.
She was active until she retired in 2012 at 71yo, She's worth over $100-million.
Carole King is so special to me because of the hit she wrote Will You Love Me Tomorrow. The Shirelles made this a hit for them and they are from my hometown Passaic, NJ. I saw the play Beautiful about the story of her life. It was more than awesome. Carole King is a national treasure and RIP her ex-husband Gerry Goffin. Please take note that she plays piano herself on ALL of her songs.
The entire album is almost a greatest hits album. Almost every song was released as a single eventually. Carol held back "You've Got A Friend" so her good friend and road buddy could record it first.
My two favorite singer/songwriters of the early 1970s were James Taylor and Carole King. Carole King wrote “You’ve Got A Friend”. They both sang it well but James Taylor’s version became the most famous! That is an iconic song! You need to hear it by both artists! Every song on her tapestry album is great! You should eventually listen to all of them!!
JT is under-appreciated by the Reaction trend. Interesting to see who gets played and who is ignored by the current generation.
"You've Got a Friend" was in response to JT's "Fire and Rain" - "I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend"
You’ve Got a Friend used in Toy Story is a Randy Newman song. Different song but both worth a listen
Carole's music is timeless for sure. But I've always thought her lyrics were absolutely brilliant.
So many iconic songs written by her. It’s a deep rabbit hole. She wrote so many hits in the 1960’s for different groups. The Brill Building writers created so many songs. Never get tired of this album.
"I Feel the Earth Move" is a percussive, compelling tune that just never gets old. I can't recommend it highly enough for you!
One of the best albums ever!! Her collaboration with James Taylor is phenomenal! ❤ So glad you did this one!! Now it’s time for some Carly Simon and James Taylor!!
“I Feel The Earth Move” is a must 🔥🎹🔥
I hear you saying very simple artwork, simple voice but warm and inviting and it occurred to me that sums up the 70's
Music was pure, simple, mellow not over produced, no forced vocals. much simpler times
Every single song on this album is incredible. It came out when I was 12, and seriously, I just wanted to BE Carole King. Have loved her ever since. ❤️
She's the greatest songwriter in pop/rock history - the piano is her best friend.
Carol King is one of the all-time greats but don't get carried away. There's this guy called Paul McCartney who actually is the greatest songwriter (by any criteria you care to choose to measure by).
@@andyallan2909 Yep, Paul and John are the most prolific, terrific, stupendous songwriters ever. They listened to Carole King's songs when they were teenagers.
@@andyallan2909hey i do appreciate your opinion,,,,but everyone has an opinion,that said I do believe king is the best singer songwriter of our time,,,,again my opinion.
You are correct about where the album cover art comes from; the photos were taken at her Laurel Canyon CA home. She now lives in Idaho. My favorite songs by her are "Up on the Roof" (originally recorded by The Drifters and sung by King on the "Writer" album) and "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" (originally recorded by The Shirelles and sung by King on "Tapestry").
Yes, and the cat's name is Telemachus.
I don't know anyone in the 70's who didn't have a copy of this album. You'll like more from this album as well. Great reaction!
Fun fact one of her songs Where You Lead was the theme song to Gilmore Girls. She also guess starred as the record star owners in several episodes
That’s right!!! I loved that show (still do) and love that they used a Carole King song for their theme! And enjoyed seeing her on the show!
It's a very 70's feel all around including the attitude around relationships. This was how we lived back then before HIV/AIDS killed that free if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with attitude.
Every single song on this album is worth a listen. Enjoy the journey.
Isnt that a great album cover photo? I look at that and it’s the late 60’s/early 70’s again…..just the vibe….the jeans, her hair…..just like we all were…..just hangin’ out….
She was a great songwriter before she was a popular singer. She co-wrote Loco-Motion by Grand Funk (and others), Up on the Roof by the Drifters, Into Something Good by Herman's Hermits, and Pleasant Valley Sunday by the Monkees, and so many more! I suggest So Far Away on Tapestry next, but honestly, you need to dive into the entire album if you're liking it so far. Not a bad song on there. And after this, I highly suggest "Bitter with the Sweet off her album Rhymes & Reasons. Great bass line.
You've Got a Friend was actually covered by James Taylor. You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman was covered by Aretha Franklin. Both of these songs from Tapestry were big hits. So she not only had hits off this album with her singing them but hits that were covers by other artists. The album was on the charts for 6 years. It's the first album I every bought.
Carole King and Carly Simon are two of the greatest women artists of all time. Others have already mentioned other songs of theirs, but please do a deep dive on both of them. You will not be disappointed. Carole also did the theme song for the movie "A League of Their Own".
Toni Stern wrote the lyrics for this song, along with the song "Where You Lead"
The lyrics for "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?", "Smackwater Jack", and "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" were written by former husband Gerry Goffin."Will You Love Me Tomorrow" had been a hit for the Shirelles in 1960. "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" was specifically written for Aretha Franklin who is very closely associated with the song.
"You've Got a Friend" was in response to the line "I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend" in James Taylor's song "Fire and Rain"
Tapestry was an album that EVERYONE had and played non stop back in the day. King wrote sooo many hits and her work and performances are fantastic. A lot of artists owe some of their success to her songwriting! Fact: I was listening to THIS (very album) in the car today! Ha! It does NOT get old, very singable, relatable music decades later.
Great decision on always listening to this studio version, after all that's the version that made them famous. There are an incredible amount of soft rock hits, Motown and classic rock hits in the 60s & 70s.
Another great Song is You got a friend she wrote for her good friend James Taylor and recorded herself she plays piano and guitar and was born with perfect pitch which is very rare
SUMMER of 71, I was 12. This song was totally all over the airwaves! I loved it. Of course the entire album is EXCELLENT! I bought the album, 8 track, then cassette, and finally the CD!! LOL. 20 + years after it came out, you could walk into any record store, and it was thier on the shelf!!

Enjoying your Channel
Everything Carole writes,plays,and sings is pure gold!🎙🎶💛Btw,they did a Broadway musical with all her music!
Salvo - Have you seen Laurel Canyon A Place In Time? That music documentary will give you so much insight into the time and these artists. Mom had this album in her amazing collection as well.
At A&M records in January 1971, Carol King was working on her debut album (Tapestry) in studio B, Joni Mitchell was working on her second album (Blue) in studio C, and The Carpenters were working on their 3rd album (The Carpenters) in studio A.
This was all at what was once Charlie Chaplin's Studios, and it's now the Jim Henson Company studios. There was so much history made in those buildings.
No. "You got a friend in me" is by Randy Newman, and you need to check him out too, also Carly Simon. But Carole King did write "You Got a Friend" along with James (Sweet Baby James) Taylor.
photo taken in her home in LA. .photographer saw the cat in the house and thought he would go well in the photo and so put him up on the windowsill for same. turned out to be an iconic photo shot...the album was a huge success....no bad songs on it...db
This is one of my favorite albums of all times in fact I've asked my children to play the song beautiful at my funeral as it's my favorite by her...
When my kids were younger I played it frequently on the commute to school in the morning... My daughter just loved The first song on the LP If you could imagine three or four elementary school girls playing air piano in the back jamming out with Carol as she pounds the keys it just has memories I'll never forget for me
I feel the earth move is great song to listen to next.
She’s singing about Gerry Goffin, her late ex whom she teamed with to write hits for other great acts in the 1960s. All you need to know is that she wrote (You Make Me Feel Like) a Natural Woman for Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul. And if you haven’t heard Natural Woman, don’t wait. 😊
Carole King great singer/songwriter. A lot of great singers had hits with her songs. This album instantly brings back memories of the 70’s.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE GOOD OLE ( JONIIIIIIII MITCHELL ) RABBIT HOLE OF AWESOMENESS SALVO! 😊 AMAZINGGGGG VOICE, SONGWRITER, PRODUCER, DIRECTOR, COLLABORATOR, PAINTER, INSTRUMENTALIST ( GUITAR, PIANO, DULCIMER ) JUST INSANE INSANELYYYYYYY GREAT SALVO! 😊 A CASE OF YOU, HELP ME, FREE MAN IN PARIS, CHELSEA MORNING, THERE'S JUST A TASTE OF HER GREATNESS
I was single digit old when Tapestry came out but owe my sis everything for buying it.
I would sit in her window seat in her room, like Carole is on her album and listen, sing, and jam out...sis would walk in and bust me out...headphones!! 😅🤣
Check out her songs "I Feel the Earth Move (Under My Feet)" and "You've Got a Friend" and "WIll You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" and "So Far Away" from the same "Tapestry" album.
"It Might as Well Rain Until September," was her first big solo hit and pre-dates this album (1960's).
Carole King is in the Hall of Fame twice verse for singing and second for writing songs she actually started writing for Motown her babysitter Little Eva saying one of her songs that she wrote called The Locomotion it was a huge hit react to it by Little Eva
She never wrote for motown lol...she was married to gerry goffin and they where staff writers at the other brill building
Along with the debut Boston album, the Carol King Tapestry album is probably one of the most coherent and chock full of hits - of course you know that by now.
She is one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time. She has written so many songs recorded by others that would amaze you. One of my 5 favorite artists
Carole is one of the best from the golden age of the singer/songwriter. No showy vocal calisthenics just a relaxed easy-going tone.
Telemachus is the cat. With Tapestry's sales, he's one of the most viewed cats in history.
And happy 81st birthday today to Carole.
I’m GenX and was raised by hippy adjacent parents in the 70s-80s who sadly had shitty and limited musical taste - but their friends had the good stuff.
I remember Carol King playing a lot at a family friend’s house but never knew the name just that I loved the music. In my 20s I found Tapestry at a record store and recognized the song titles on the back and realized I had found that lady with the friendly voice and sick songs.
I used to play that shit on repeat in the tape deck of my old Toyota and now have her in my phone library for bike rides.
So good.
The tapestry album is gold I wore mine out..
Still have that vinyl around here somewhere. One of my favorites. IIRC "You've got a friend" was her songwriting response to her friend James Taylor's "fire and rain"
My favorite album of the time. I listened to her Tapestry album until it wore out. You'd be surprised at some of the songs that you know that were written by her. I was introduced to her album by my best friend's older sister. I was 11 at the time going on 12. I listened to that album for years and I still listen to it. Love Carol King . You should listen to the whole album. ✌❤😎
I wore out my first Tapestry album also. Lol
She's truly a master songwriter, and I love how this song has the jazzy instrumental section.
Her album "Tapestry" was in Everyone's collection! Her talent transcended genres of music!
I Feel the Earth Move was the flip side of the It's too Late single-both songs were so good that it was deemed a double sided hit single with DJ's playing both sides when it came out. Back in the day if you had a record collection-you had this album. Might as well listen to all the tracks-this album is that good.
Salvo this made me smile . Glad you got to her so quick after the recent Aretha review..You now have to get to James Taylor for sure .As always sending you our love ❤❤❤Also visit the Lady ga ga tribute to carol , simply beautiful..
I’m your newest subscriber! Marathoning your channel and loving it! I’m in my 60s now and very much excited to see someone young as you reacting so strongly to our older songs! Thanks for the posts and for the memories! 🌟🎶✌️
You've got a friend was written by Carol King, except it was additionally sang by James Taylor at the same time, which was in 1971, four years after I was born.
Patty- You should take a look at her tribute album, Tapestry Revisited. There are a ton of heavy hitters in the music industry who contributed to the album. They each performed one of her songs. The Bee Gees were among the artists. That will tell you how respected she is in the industry.
What you could do is listen to Fire and Rain from James Taylor first and then do You've got a Friend from Carole King. James Taylor's song is about a friend he lost and his trouble with addiction. When Carol heard that she wrote her song as an answer to James.
She wrote so many songs for others. Can be surprising. She composes on piano.
Not the same song. Randy Newman wrote that one.
She wrote songs for many other singers and acts. My favorite song, for others, is "Up On The Roof" by the Drifters. She had tons of great ones though. She really is a legendary talent.
On the singles - "It's Too Late" was the A side and "I Feel the Earth Move" was its B side. Same with "So Far Away" and "Smackwater Jack." Singles were released on small 45rpm records that had one song on each side.
Tapestry was also the first album released to receive Diamond certification, though it wasn't the first awarded.
They made a musical of her called Beautiful. That’s how legendary she is
Oh, yeah. One of those 30 million albums is in my vinyl collection. Tapestry was so big in the early 70's. So many great songs on that album. You've got a Friend was a giant hit for James Taylor. Not the Randy Newman song from Toy Story. I'd love to hear So Far Away.
Enjoyed your reaction. James Taylor played on this album and later recorded his big hit,”You’ve Got A Friend,” with Carole’s blessing. You have very informative reactions, keep up the good work.
2:34 A single had two sides: one song on each. On most singles, the most popular song was the "A" side, with the "B" side being lesser known. This song was released as a single on the A side, with "I Feel The Earth Move" on the B side. They were both huge hits, which was rare.
Carole King actually sings Natural Woman the song that Aretha Franklin sang you should react to Carole King singing it since she actually wrote it
- As you have read, "Tapestry" is a monumental album
Smackwater Jack is a great and fun song, but So Far Away and (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman are awesome, the latter one being a HUGE hit for Arethra Franklin, which is why she did that song at the Kennedy Center Honors.
Another song off this album, You've Got A Friend is interesting in that, she let James Taylor, who was a long time friend and collaborator, release the song first ... to great success, and although I like her version, I LOVE his version. I feel, to really understand just how much she contributed to and affected the music industry, you owe it to yourself to react to his version, or at least listen to it. He actually only did it because he had learned it from playing on her version, and back at the studio, they would play it as a warm up song. When they determined that they were short a song for HIS album, it was suggested that he do that one on his album. So, he asked for her permission, and she agreed ... HISTORY !!! I think, if you listen to both, you'll understand why I prefer his version more.
James Taylor is not the exception, and Carole was used to writing for other artists. She has contributed more than 400 songs to the industry, and many, MANY of them have been covered by other artists. In fact, over 1,000 of them have and many have gone on to become huge hits.
She wrote The Locomotion for her babysitter, Little Eva (#1), which in turn, was covered famously by many, many others like Grand Funk Railroad (#1), Kylie Minogue #3), and interestingly enough (as depicted by their names), ALL THREE (3) hit the top 10 on the charts with it.
She wrote Up On The Roof for the Drifters, which in 1963, reached number 5 on the U.S. pop singles chart and number 4 on the U.S. R&B singles chart.
The song, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman hit #8 on the charts for Arethra Franklin.
She wrote the song, Pleasant Valley Sunday, which was a HUGE hit for The Monkees, reaching #3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and US Cash Box 100 charts, but #1 on the Canada RPM chart. #2 in New Zealand and #4 in Norway.
She wrote several Beatles hits ... and the list goes on and on ... She was not only a hot song writer, but a hot commodity and well, just plain hot🔥
Don’t feel too bad not knowing who she is…I had no idea until a few years ago I sat with my neice ( a Carole King nut, lol) and spent the entire evening going “She wrote THAT?!?!” or “That’s HER?!?!?!”
She really is an incredible talent!
It makes me happy to see this reaction of Carole King. I discovered Carole King with the album "Tapestry" in 1971, amazing album and an amazing lady she is. For me the best album ever...later on I have bought about 10 later albums as well...and she have always been a treasure for me.
The Brill Building produced a number of great artists. Both Neil Diamond (who got his big break with a song by The Monkees) and Lou Reed (who later founded the avant-garde rock band The Velvet Underground) got their start working there.
She's a treasure complete artist
I love this album even if I was born a decade more than when this was released. So much so that I flew to NYC (from Asia) to watch the Broadway show 'Beautiful' which is Carole King's life story and a lot of songs in Tapestry are in the show.
I played this album a lot in my early teens. I'll bet if I listened to the entire album again, I could sing every song word for word. This just takes me back!
The thing about Carole King is that she was established as one of the greatest songwriters of the 60s before they let her make a record herself. When it finally came out, it became one of the most successful albums of all time.
Carole is a treasure...
oh, 70's music!! Now I need to go dig in my record collection and get this one out. She was a big part of the soundtrack of my college years.
High school years for me! 😊
Another album that never gets deleted from my downloads
For someone who lived this album when it hit the charts, this song can bring you to tears. I bought the cassette tape of this for my brother for Christmas 1971 when he was in college. The 60s and 70s had some really great songs.
Read thru her bio…she wrote a lot of songs for other artists (i.e. Natural Woman for Aretha Franklin). But just about every song on Tapestry is a winner.
Glad you have found her. I loved this album when it came out :) Thanks!
Geez man, I forgot how much incredible greatness we had to choose from in the 70s. Weren't we lucky?!
If you ever go back to Neil Sedaka's songs, "Oh Carol" was written with her in mind. He fell for her but it wasn't mutual.
A lot of music came out of the Brill Building in t mn e 60's. Ellie Greenwich was a writer there with songs for girl groups like Shangra-Laz and Darlene Love, (Leader of the Pack, Christmas Baby Please Come Home), and the "wall of sound"
always loved that classic hit !
I adore all of Carole’s music. That instrumental interlude in this song is fabulous, isn’t it!?
Thanks so much for getting around to Carole King!
YEP. Check out the songs she has written for a multiple artists.
