I've burned through 2 copies of Tapestry since it was released when I was 14. Closing in on 63 yrs old and it still remains in my top 20 all time favorite albums
Carole King is such a stupendous GIANT in the early days of pop rock n roll. Just an icon of mammoth proportion. Carole King is still alive and needs to be recognized for the enormous contribution she made to music while she is still among us.
I grew up in the 60s and 70s graduated and off to the marine corps. The best decade of music in my opinion was the 70s. I wish I could go back to the 70s and im sure many feel the same. Great Video THANKS YOU.
Yes, a great time for music. But I don’t want to go back. The Vietnam War, changing mores, the pill, mind expanding drugs, recession as the post WW2 boom started to slow down and domestic production started to move overseas, women’s empowerment just blossoming in a real way in the face of incredible misogyny. It was a very confusing, yet hopeful time which we got through, but I don’t want to relive it.
She really belongs to another era seemingly gone forever: a time when wildly commercially successful music could touch the inner workings of your soul and give an immense contribution to your growth as a human being. Where is it all gone?
Writer came seven years or so after The Drifters recorded "Up on the Roof." Also, King rarely says anything about Sedaka, and others have said his claim that they "dated" may be more than it was. Either way, King has been a wonderful part of American popular music.
I grew up listening to Carole's music on AM radio and while I don't care at all for her politics, I love Carole as a singer/songwriter and being a very beautiful human being towards others. It upset me learning about how she stayed 3 years with that sick moron who physically abused her.
We Are All Children of God. Through The Universal Laws , yes there really are Gods Government Law, the person you speak of hurt no one but her or him self. Karmic Law is real. Joel Goldsmith A Parenthesis in Eternity, I humble encourage reading, it's really a Gift from God 🎉
I just heard of her after watching Aretha Franklins performance in front of her and President Obama 🤩 tonight’s been like 🤯 old skool music injection §§ just what I needed
I like Carol Kings music, but, I reaaaly wish musicians and athletes would stay out of politics. Unfortunately for them, they get such a big head they forget that a huge amount of their paying audience don't agree with their politics. Linda Ronstadt found out in Las Vegas when she started talking about her radical liberal views during a concert no less. It pissed everyone off so much that they ripped her concert billboards up and stormed out. These are singers and songwriters. They should stick to that and avoid pissing off half their fan base.
@@DavidDudley-yy2ui She started a political binge about supporting Michael Moore who was the biggest hypocrite in the world because he made millions of dollars from capitalism all the while, like her preaching socialism. She basically got booed off the stage and the casino said they would never ask her back. It's a mute point now because she's no longer here. I liked her music but she like too many musicians and entertainers all think they need to tell the world how it should turn. They only hurt themselves when they piss off half their audience.
@@libertyjustice2703 right i gotcha . I don't really have a problem with anyone stating their opinion but there is a time and place for it. and if someone does run the mouth, they gotta accept the consequence. Carol King should notice that many in her audience are not liberal, I saw Rick Derringer here in Hawaii the audience appreciated his show but he did his flagwaving bit, and Hawaiians ain't all that down with it. Nothing ugly but there was a quiet moment.
Thank you for the great information. She's a cool personality. I'm a little saddened that so many wonderful people are liberal, which in itself isn't bad, at all; but the way of the Left seems to pave the way quite nicely for those who want to usurp total control of everything and everybody. Unbridled freedom is abusive, but so is unaccountable control. I like having the freedom to strive toward personal freedom that respects the freedoms of others to experience their best existence. I'm grateful to Ms. King for brightening my world in her uniquely special way.
The idea that women like Carole King or Janis Ian didn't believe they were beautiful blows my mind. I've always been drawn to the understated appeal of unconventional beauty that exists all around us and Carole King was a knockout in my eyes.
I've seen King's story on Broadway with Mom and Dad! What if Carole followed her overbearing jewish mother's advice, and teach music, instead of writing and producing it at 1650 Broadway with Gerry Goffin and competing with friends Mann & Weil?
I'm into something God(good). All Songs, plays, poems, films are about God, and purpose of Yours-EL-f as a Spiritual Being following The Path Joel Goldsmith ,A Parenthesis in Eternity Show me the Way Just call on my Name and I'll be there wherever you are... David Bowie ziggy stardust ans every Song he ever sang or wrote is God speaking through him Blow up the outside world Every Beatles song ever written will be God speaking to You Every Pink Floyd song, every Song ever put forth, So listen with ears that hear!!! IT (God) IS, the Master Plan You witness in Action❤
Tapestry is obviously my favourite work of hers, but it's impossible to pick out a favourite track - true to it's theme and name, each track is part of a beautiful mosaic, only complete and whole with the other pieces in place.
as kid theree lp album of tapestry yet she her voice anthem my ear too late you got friend has stuck me head til to this day still remember yet always love that song as others she sungs
A couple corrections: "Gerry" is pronounced as "Jerry" The Drifters did not cover 'Up on the Roof' per se. Carole and Jerry wrote it for them when they were writing at 1650 Broadway.
I love Carole King, but she lived in a cabin surrounded by mountains, they call them hollows, but she spoke against building near the rocky mountains which included the hollows. But I still love her music, most laws and regulations are not meant for those with the big money. I know she meant well.
This was chugging along until having to look at a politician; one whose face reeks of insincerity. His fame is built on what he is, rather than WHO he is.
I like the story how someone opened the door of a back room at American Bandstand and found Carol and Leslie Gore wrapped around each other like 2 worms on a fish hook.
One has to wonder. If Carol King felt that she could not compete in beauty with her peers? How did they appear? She is like the very definition of beauty
i find it ironic that a woman who wouldnt tour due to" stage fright" that ended the city, would then go on stage & play to 70k fans in central park.i believe that would qualify as "stage horror".
James Taylor convinced her in the late 60s to start performing for audiences and being a recording artists. She became comfortable in front of audiences when she realized that they were “with her” and appreciated her aongs
Protect nature from Yuppies! Where ever they settle Starbucks, High end Dinning and rising Real estate follow! This pushes the locals away or into poverty!
"In the titular role"???? (11:28) I stopped watching, yes I know it was almost over anyhow. And spare yourself the trouble, I know what the word means, it's just plain stupid. It's like the word media, media, media over and over again. everybody wants to use the new word for anything they happen to be looking at, whether it be recording tape, paper, sand or a reporter, it's all media. Media is Latin and it means 'middle' period, just plain old middle. Another word is 'utilize', utilize, utilize, utilize, utilize, utilize, I could just puke. What does it mean? It means 'use' for the freakin' love of Mike what is wrong with the word 'use'? I am not close to being done, but I quit for now.
@@DavidDudley-yy2ui Do you have even a foggy clue what you are talking about? I read what you wrote, then I read what I wrote and I do not see any rational connection between the two. Once again I am dumbfounded by the eagerness of some people to put their ignorance on public display.
What's your favorite Carole King song?
_I Feel the Earth Move_ is my favorite Carol King song!
Pleasant Valley Sunday. I liked her more as a songwriter than a performer.
Too late
#1 Natural Woman ❤️🎶
#2 Up on the Roof ❤️🎶
the rest of CK songs follows
Too many
I’ve listened to the Tapestry album probably a thousand times through the years and I still love it! ♥️
It’s my house cleaning album, cutting grass too and more.
"It's Too Late", my favorite Carole King song.

Tapestry - The soundtrack of my life. Favorite? You've got a Friend.
_I Feel the Earth Move_ still gets me fired up. Such an awesome track!
She’s great, I’ve always loved her music.
I think to me, her best album was Tapestry!! 💗
Carole has a really amazing voice. She seems like a really cool person.
Carole King was gifted music in the same massive way Prince was. Carole King had a knack at producing timeless music.
I loved her music when it came out and then later it becomes even sweeter as a glimpse into our cherished past.
I’m a big fan !! As a singer songwriter myself I really appreciate her massive talent !! 👍😊🎤🎹
I grew up in the 60s and 70s graduated and off to the marine corps. The best decade of music in my opinion was the 70s. I wish I could go back to the 70s and im sure many feel the same. Great Video THANKS YOU.

Amen!! I grew up in 70’s and still listen to this day especially Carole king ❤
Growing up back then was the best❤😊!!!
What a classy, talented, beautiful woman.
Ms King is an amazing talent no doubt about it
Carole King will, and always be a legend. I love her as a songwriter for eternity

Carole King was super gifted, we all listened to her in the 70’s, I still do
♥️ A real unique, talented woman, creator & artist x
she is genius
Gotta rate this ajaccio amazing woman alongside otis reading, marvin gaye and Aretha Franklin, Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash.
Simply perfect. XX
Cute little vixen when young. Great to hear that she is plugging for the environment. Need more like her.

Tapestry is one of the best albums ever written and sung.
Joni Mitchell only one to better Carol
#1 female everything, best writer, musician, singer, producer, all around girl & mentor to so many ❤️
My fav Motown r by Carole King 👏🏻
Hi Margie hope you’re okay?
What a great person Carole King is!! Too late is beautiful!
MY FAVORITE SONG OF CAROLE KING IS SO FAR AWAY!
Carole King, between her writing and singing, is one of the best musical performers in the last 60 years.
This should have a million likes!!!
I actually think Carole King is more talented than Paul Simon, Carly Simon and James Taylor combined

truth hurts
@@DavidDudley-yy2ui What truth? It's opinions. Like assholes. Everyone has one.
@@libertyjustice2703 truth and opinions are not the same thing. what did she say that upset people?

Jazzman that 🎷 still gives me goosebumps
A truly wonderful artist, and an equally wonderful person !
Yes, I think she is highly sensitive.
Wonderful photo of Carole and Paul Simon as students.
You don't blow through four marriages without having some fault of your own.
I just love Carol King and her music ❤
Hi Cecilia hope you’re okay?
Will You Love Me Tomorrow...Carole King,like Dylan,is known to me more as a song writer than a performer.
Thats my girl Carol king lov her always❤
She has had a wonderful career, I'm 57 and her music could even make me sing !
Carole King is Jewish, her last name was Klein.
And?
My dad was married to Carole until he passed away.
Who? Rick Evers?
She’s amazing!!!!!!!!!
In my youth, everybody that I knew had Tapestry.
Me Too loved it for years
Please do a story on the tragic life of Laura Nyro.
Thank you for the great information. She's a cool personality.

Greatest American singer songwriter EVER ! A close second to Lennon and Mcartney ! N that’s high regard !
And you can't forget B Bacharach. And Lead Belly.
Brits
I just meet Carole at an airport yesterday and she is such a warm, kind sole.
The idea that women like Carole King or Janis Ian didn't believe they were beautiful blows my mind. I've always been drawn to the understated appeal of unconventional beauty that exists all around us and Carole King was a knockout in my eyes.
I'm on my way to becoming a Carole King fan. "So Far Away" is magical.
I always love her. And her music.
She moves to Idaho and now wants no one else moving there. Eh ?
Not if you’re going to destroy the land.
I've seen King's story on Broadway with Mom and Dad!
What if Carole followed her overbearing jewish mother's
advice, and teach music, instead of writing and producing it at 1650 Broadway
with Gerry Goffin and competing with friends Mann & Weil?
Such a talented and intelligent woman. My 1970 Tapestry album was played so much, you can almost see through it.
She wrote a ton of songs, one being " I'm into something good " ( co-wrote with Husband Goffin ).
I'm into something God(good).
All Songs, plays, poems, films are about God, and purpose of Yours-EL-f as a Spiritual Being following The Path

@@msmontana1961 What the hell are you on???
“So Far Away” one of my all-time favorite songs. So is “It’s Too Late”. Wish I could have seen that Broadway show.
Beautiful soul
According to this idiotic video, Carole King stopped making albums after Tapestry.
Fantastic artist...But as all artists most make their mistake jumping into politics and advocating for BIGGER government.
I think that one of Carole's best works is SIMPLE THINGS was over looked
Tapestry is obviously my favourite work of hers, but it's impossible to pick out a favourite track - true to it's theme and name, each track is part of a beautiful mosaic, only complete and whole with the other pieces in place.
First
👏👏👏👏👏
She definitely was gifted, new it and grew with it
This is is excellent ❤❤
as kid theree lp album of tapestry yet she her voice anthem my ear too late you got friend has stuck me head til to this day still remember yet always love that song as others she sungs
The untold story? that she's a lesbian?
you are a beautiful plain young woman
I feel the earth move
Magical times !
A couple corrections: "Gerry" is pronounced as "Jerry"
The Drifters did not cover 'Up on the Roof' per se. Carole and Jerry wrote it for them when they were writing at 1650 Broadway.
pure genius
HAPPY BEAUTIFUL BIRTHDAY CAROL IT’S MY BIRTHDAY TOO❤🎉🎉❤
Tools Drummer Danny Carey has played in her band and toured with her
I didn't know this very cool fact. I'm a Carole King fan as well as a Tool fan.
@@joeymorvant161 yeah he recorded color of your dreams with her
@@joeymorvant161 listen to do you feel love. Its obvious when you hear it
@@brandonhinrichs4393 Cool! Thanks for the tip!

Gerry Goffin isn't given enough attention or credit in this narrative for Carole's early work, which is a shame.
Yes
Long before there was Alanis Morrisette, there was Carole King.
Tapestry So far away Beautiful WAY over younder
i keep saying she looks so familiar and realized she looks like alanis morissette and barbara streisand. are they related? and oh bette medler.
I wanted Kylie Minogue to do a movie based on "Locomotion" concept 😃
Carole you Deserve it and more The Peace you bring me
You've been btfl since birth.
Beautiful presentation!
One has to wonder. If Carol King felt that she could not compete in beauty with her peers? How did they appear? She is like the very definition of beauty
I think the most amazing thing about Carole is she lived in Wyoming (I think) for 40 years - my dream too
