What a great tribute Aimiee. Carol King does deserve the pedestal you've put her on. She's a musical treasure.
neil sedaka should be put on the same high pedestal as her .he's a throughtly underated and disrespected artist now and he shouldont be . From Michael from Yorkshire and proud of it .
I'm a huge King fan. Tapestry is one of my favourite albums of all time. She's one of the reasons I wanted to play piano and be a songwriter.
Tapestry is a masterpiece - a perfect album!
@@alanchamberlain9967 100% agree Alan.
Tapestry is one of the best albums of all time. Period.
u chose a impossibly hard act to follow Tony..lol...hope u had a good BITE of it anyway..stay well
Me too tori.❤❤
Aimee, I cannot thank you enough, or say enough about your beautiful talent! Yes, Carole King is phenomenal and I’ve always really admired her music and songwriting, and I love what you have done here for millions of viewers who might not know about her. BUT... this video is as much a testament to you and your musical intuition as it is to hers! I absolutely Love the tone of your voice, your incredible ability at the piano keyboard, and your sweet sensitivity towards the music and the composer!! Your knowledge and FEEL of music theory is simply amazing. I’m a professional musician and composer as well, but I have to say, you are incredibly talented, and a true gift to everyone who knows you! Thanks!!
Thank you SO much💙
You know what? I have been thinking now, there should be a Broadway musical tribute album for Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, and Elvis Presley. They have been prolific songwriters that impacted so SO many people so that would be awesome to hear!
I actually have thought about the lyric for "Will You Love Me Tomorrow", specifically how differently the lyric hits me in The Shirelles' version compared to Carole's version from 'Tapestry'. I always thought in The Shirelles' version, the lyric sounded cute and innocent like a young teenager with a crush. And the "tonight" in "Tonight you're mine" really just meant "now" or "presently". And the "tomorrow" in "will you love me tomorrow" was vaguely sometime in the future. So, it was just a young girl wondering if love would last.
But in Carole's version, with her stripped down solo vocals, "tonight" suddenly becomes literally "right now, this night" and "tomorrow" meaning when you wake up in the morning. And I can picture a woman in bed next to her man. It's heart wrenching.
It's fascinating to me how the same lyric can have such a different emotional impact.
Ohhhh great comment
If you think about it that way, it's almost as sad as Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me". Interesting that both songs were written by men (just the lyrics in the case of "Will You Love Me Tomorrow").
Have you heard this version? ua-cam.com/video/UoORGlv1SX4/v-deo.html
Your comment reminds me of Joni Mitchell's " Both Sides Now" -- the original is fairly light and the later (circa 2000) version has considerable emotional depth from someone who has lived!
Listen to Roberta Flack's version. A great interpretation of an amazing song.
I knew she wrote a lot of songs others recorded, but 400?! WOW! She is simply amazing!
I don't know how I found this video and I really don't know much about music or how it's written, but I was just drawn in by your speaking voice, your dialog and especially your singing voice. Just, wow. Of course, it doesn't hurt that I am a huge fan of Carole King/Gerry Goffin. Now I'm one of yours. Cheers.
Hi Aimee. I'm 72, and grew up with all of these songs (except the Chicken Soup one - never heard that before). I loved these songs then, and still do. And I loved your in-depth analysis of each one. It never occurred to me how unusual that modulation in Pleasant Valley Sunday was. We saw the play "Beautiful" in Toronto (where we live), and enjoyed it so much that we immediately bought the soundtrck. Thank you for another great video.
Carol is a national treasure! Thanks Aimee, for the tribute...
neil sedaka like Carole is an international treasure . he needs the same amount of tributes that she has been given . the fact that this hasn't happened . is just plain wrong . From Michael from Yorkshire and proud of it .
Thank you Aimee - I enjoyed this so much! Tapestry was the first album I ever bought with my own money, and the reason I asked my mom to take piano lessons when I was 14 or so (just about 50 years ago). Since then, I've bought all her albums and sheet music books, and many years later, finally got to see her perform - with James Taylor no less - what a magical evening! Picked up the guitar in my mid thirties, and now write my own songs, and continue to be inspired by her brilliance.
Hi Aimee, I feel that not enough has been said about the genius of Carole King. I saw her in the 80’s at the Beacon in NY. No opening act, she did the whole show and opened with “Home Again”. In the second half she performed a medley of all the songs she wrote for other artists; I was blown away! Songs I knew that I did not know were hers. Thank you for this video and some great memories.
I’ve heard that song tons of times but I had no idea that Carole King wrote “I’m Into Something Good”. Nice!
Aimee Nolte...you are phenomenal! I've enjoyed waking up this morning, grabbing my first cup of coffee and spending this most incredible 20 minutes of my life listening to your dissertation of Carole King's compositions. Oh my!! Your passion and insights along with your OWN amazing musical gifts just sent me over the top. Thank you so much. I must now begin my Carole King binge listening, but first it's back to your channel for more Nolte!
So nice. Thank you
@@AimeeNolte You're so sincerely welcome! (And a special shout-out to that KORG as well...!)
The Bee Gees and Amy Winehouse also recorded a version of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow." Paul McCartney also talked about the idea of Lennon and McCartney was inspired by Goffin and King. Thank you for posting.
I truly wish she will see this, and remember what she means to us all. From the bottom of my heart, /thank you
What a great video high-lighting the phenomenal career of Carole King. Your speaking and singing voice is really beautiful and your musical knowledge impressive as well!
My mother who recently passed away played Carole's albums Writer, Tapestry and Music all the time when they came out in the early 1970s. When I think of her, I think of Carole King's music.
This is the first time that I've ever subscribed to this type of thing. Your hypnotic coverage of Carol King changed that.
My older sister wore out her Tapestry album when I was just a little guy. I've had those songs playing in my head for 50 years. I finally purchased my own vinyl copy a few weeks ago. Song writing at its finest. Thanks for the great video!
Lol
Pleasant Valley Sunday is one of my favorite Goffin/King songs. Such clever songwriting! Also, don't forget "Chains" by The Cookies---a song covered by The Beatles!
Great song! (too bad Nesmith didn't do it)
Please, please, please do a video on "Tapestry"! Fully packed with great compositions! I was in my pre-teen years when I was hearing her early hits. Thanks again for analyzing and showcasing her amazing talent in the art of songwriting.
Thankyou Aimee Nolte for presenting Carole King's Story, Wonderful Songwriter, 🚭🛡️♀️🎹🎼 Singer
I knew she wrote a lot of songs but I didn't realize it was 400!! Thank you for this, it was a fun watch!
Always fun to watch you breakdown these songs Aimee, being 67and growing up with this life soundtrack was a Blessing. Being a novice player, you and Rick Beato show me how much more there is to knowing how much goes into making the great music we love to listen to. Thanks!! Carol King is a treasure...
I love Carole - 400 songs, I had no idea! Up on the Roof I always loved. Most of these, actually. Thank you Aimee! You are so gifted and have such a nice voice.
Thank you so much for this video. Without in any way diminishing Carol King's wonderful music Jerry Goffin's ability to capture how a woman feels in songs like "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" and "You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman" is genius.
Thank you so much Aimee. You've taken my admiration for Carole's music up 2 more notches. She is an all time great writer with few, if any rivals.
That was kickass video Aimee. In my own musical career I have played, sung and adored many Carole King songs. I was privileged to see her perform the entire Tapestry album at London's Hyde Park a few years back. Legendary, one of the highlights of my concert-going life.
Ooh, I would have loved that concert!! I’ve never had the chance to see Carole King in concert! I’ve loved her music all my life!
Thank you Aimee! I remember when this album came out. I would not have known about it were it not for my Mother. I think I was about 10 years old. There is not much I can add to all that has already been said except; In all the live performances, and the beauty of her songs, I conclude that she is indeed a wonderful person. We sure could use more of her goodwill these days.
Why can I give only one like, when this deserves thousands? Thank You so much!
Thank you, Aimee, for taking us back to some of the very best music ever written, and by one of the best songwriters of our entire generation. Wonderful!
SO, SO, glad you featured C.K.!!! By far one of the greatest influencers in my life as a female singer, songwriter and pianist!!❤🎉😊
Love it ! Yes, Carole King is brilliant, and beautiful and amazing as a singer/songwriter ! .....And you have a really, really lovely voice too Aimee !
I hope Carole King does get to see this Vid ..... This is a Masterclass in The Musical Appreciation of Such an Important Artice in The History Popular Music ..... but it not just that. Its your Personal thoughts and Feelings on Those Wonderful Chord Changes and Lyrics. And You have such a Lovely Voice. Cheers From Australia 😎
I love Carole. I hope every moment of her life is as full of joy as her music has brought to this world; to remind us what it is to be a friend, how to move on from sorrow and disappointment; how to rejoice when we're blessed; exactly what her music has bestowed on us.
Fun pop history bit: when Lorde won Song of the Year for “Royals” (which she penned at 15), Carole presented her with the award. Later, in her song “California”, Lorde writes:
“Once upon a time in Hollywood / when Carole called my name / I stood up, the room exploded / and I knew: that's it, / I'll never be the same”.
Superb video Aimee! Thoroughly loved it!
I love Carole King, I think if it wasn't for her and Gerry Goffin for writing those amazing songs, music today would be unimaginable. I am just 15, and I wanna write music just like her :)
Tapestry was the first album by a female I had ever bought. It wasn't the last. She is a fabulous song writer. Love her❤
Look into Laura Nyro. She's amazing. She wrote a lot for other artists as well.
Your are the best music history teacher I've ever listened to. Thank you. Love the chord change lessons.
Wow, thank you!
One FIne Day - That breakdown into the sax solo and the "aaahhhhhhhh"s are one of the greatest moments in music.
That was great Aimee! Thank you.
Thanks Aimee!! Loved this one, pure gold!!
A very worthy topic, to focus on Carole. I think Tapestry might have been my Bible for song structure and writing, & of course she was doing the same with all the hit writers. Love hearing you demonstrate her songs with the lovely rhodes sound. I was hooked on this sound in the 70s. Many thanks.
She's absolutely amazing! A living legend and someone who's talents the world rarely sees in one lifetime!
Didn’t know I loved Carole King music so much - Thank you Aimee for highlighting her wonderful contributions
Welcome to the club.
Impressed how much a musical historian you are, even of the era(s) that precede you. Bravo.
Excellent video! Thank you, Aimee. And, of course, THANK YOU, CAROLE KING!
Carole King is such a treasure and so are these videos. So happy I found them. Thanks!
What a SUPER video, Aimee! I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot. THANK YOU!
I have no idea that so many songs that I like played by so many different groups were all written by Carole King. Thank you Aimee.
You played and sang these songs wonderfully! Really touching
AIMEE! What is it about these tunes - your voice (always stunning) is sooo gorgeous on these! Every video visit with you is such a treat. Thank you!
Thx u so much!
I’ve been on a king ride for the last month and blown away w her songwriting!
ESP the song ‘Music’ from ‘Music record’ sounds like an extension of Tapestry,
Music has this Waltz 6/8 or 3/4 time that reminds me of John Coltrane version of
‘These Are My Favorite Things’ but her song has a Gorgeous Change that is so uplifting,
Just truly beautiful, not only is music gorgeous but the lyrics are just has positive and inspirational!
Thx u so much for this affirmation on the undeniable talent of Carole King🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
This is a great video to wake up to about an artist I've listened to for my entire life.
I missed this when you put it out. Been sick. So glad I saw it today. Thanks for highlighting Carol King's amazing writing.
Dear Aimee! Your analyzes and the way you describe, play and sing the songs have at least as much musicality and soul as the songs themselves. It's a pleasure to listen to you. Thank you!
How amazing is this?! This is top tier work, and we should all be thankful that you love music enough to take the time out of your schedule to enlighten us.
Wonderful video! Your honest passion for her music is infective and you have a lovely voice and certainly know your way around a piano! I agree, thank you Carole for writing so much wonderful music!!
Thank you Aimee for such a wonderful video.
The song That Old Sweet Roll (Hi-de-Ho) by Blood Sweat & Tears was also written by Carole King. It went up to #14 in 1970.
Really enjoyed this, Aimee! Thank you for this interesting and inspiring look into Carole King's songs. I wasn't aware she had written a number of the songs you mentioned here. I'll be checking them out--thanks again for this great video!
Really enjoying this video, thank you
I loved your video...thanks so much for making this one. I ran across this accidently researching Carole King because I have always loved her music. Again, I really enjoyed this and glad I found you! I will be checking out more of your videos!
I could listen to you talking music all day. Thank you.
Many thanks for the video, it was so easy to understand Carols music the way you broke them down. Thanks once again from Paul in the UK.
Lovely video Aimee! One fine day has surely the greatest piano intro in pop music. So many fantastic songs.
I’m amazed at the quality of your video essays. I’m going down the rabbit hole right now! Thank you for your content!
You're very welcome!
Larry Carlton did a wonderful instrumental interpretation of So Far Away that is from his self-titled 1978 album, in itself a wonderful album full of musical emeralds and diamonds. Kudos, Aimee, you are a musical gift from the gods.
I remember when I was a kid I liked the song "Pleasant Valley Sunday" by the Monkees so MUCH! I didn't know Carole King wrote it! Thanks.
Whenever I go to where my brother lives w/his family ,I sing my own version of "Pleasant Valley Sunday" to myself bcuz his house is in a suburb that is literally like that song ( with apologies to the great Carole King & Gerry Goffin here goes: 🎶 "Another Si-mi Vall-ey Sunday,brush fires burning everywhere, there's no Starbuck's downnn the street ,but no one seems to care"🎶)
One of her Best was Porpoise Song from the Head Soundtrack
Very good presentation! Thanks.
Thanks Aimee..i knew this would happen but I tear up listening to some of Carols and Gerry's songs...thanks so much for the background info as well....added tidbit....Karen and Richard Carpenter also did a cover of "One Fine Day"...The Beatles also used to do 'Take Good Care of My Baby' in their sets in Hamburg, Germany. Aimee, why not get Carol for a sit down interview!!?? I'm sure she'd love it!! These writers of many of these great hits of the 60's, will not be around forever!! Rick Beato, and many other "you tubers" like yourself do interviews with these geniuses, why not you!!???
Unfortunately, my channel isn’t as big as Rick’s. But maybe someday. :-) I would absolutely love to.
@@AimeeNolte So she would turn you down cause Rick has more subscribers?? She 's 81 an artist like her I would think would not be so petty as to worry about how many subs you have?...oh well ...just ask her woman to woman!!:-) all she could say is no...oh well love your channel and appreciate all the effort in reviewing and getting all these details you find. Oh PS Thanks for the tidbit on Michael Jackson and his mother's adoring Floyd Cramer!!! also folks knowing you will get an interview would gladly pay a premium sort of "pay per view" i know I would for sure!!! oh PSS speaking of Rick, he mentioned in a video a couple of weeks ago he interviewed Jimmy Webb! Been trying to get Rick to tell us approx. when the interview will air, but to no avail:-(
Nice video.Thanks. (This is all sacred music you know... never gets old no matter how many times you hear it...) Best to you. Sweet Seasons.
Thanks for making these videos. You are awesome.
Great job. Thank you. Enjoyed your analysis.
Terrific video Aimee about a supremely talented composer and musician.
Thank you!
Great video, Tapestry is legendary. You have a terrific voice, I really enjoyed your video.
I cannot wait to dig into this! Such iconic and gorgeous music!
Aimee! You have a wonderful voice! Thank you for your insight! Into Carol, please do another!
This is one of the best analytic videos on music I have ever seen. And it helps greatly that the presenter is so talented. She does so with simplicity that even those viewers who know little about musical composition can understand and embrace. Many thanks
You have a lovely voice, and such an intuitive knowledge of chord progressions!
ThanX for your video. Songwriting at it's best. I love her songs.
Your highlights and breakdown are so perfect. They honor Carole King so eloquently and it is the exact kind of admiration I feel about her. Please keep going with these kinds of videos. I am so inspired to listen to her music and to you. Thank you!
Hi Aimee, love you, love Carole, thank you for making the world a better place. x
Very good analysis! Thank you.
lovely insights thank you so much for sharing them....have been composing more on piano lately, have played guitars for years so it's great fun exploring piano chord/ key shapes
Excellent video. You are to be commended, Aimee. Relived my childhood back in the 60's.
LOVED this! Thank you.
Love it Aimee!
Thanks Aimee this is really neat.
This brings back so many memories of my childhood hearing all these Billboard 100 tunes on the radio. I clearly remember a day in the ninth grade when there was a cover band playing "I Feel the Earth Move" and thinking, that's what I want to do, play cool tunes like that. Thanks Aimee.
Love Carol King's music! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on her ouvre🙂👍.
Talk about music therapy…I remember being 6 years old in ‘71 singing and dancing to It’s Too Late. My mom’s friends would cheer me on and clap for me. Tapestry ended up being the top 3 favorite albums of all time since. Now in my later years I’m learning piano and one of my goals is to play the entirety of this album. Thank you for your gift of sharing your passion. I will be learning a lot from you from now on.
Pleasant Valley Sunday is the one that sticks out for me from these songs... Carole's music along with Gerry's somewhat acerbic lyrics - the recieved wisdom being that moving to the suburbs was what a young Carole had aspired to, the family life, the car the house, the 2.2 children... and yet Goffin hated the idea of it and didnt want to move out of the city. That shows up particularly in the middle 8....
"Creature comfort goals they only numb my soul/ And make it hard for me to see/My thoughts all seem to stray to places far away/I need a change of scenery..."
and
"Rows of houses that are all the same and no one seems to care"
Goffin certainly didnt seem to have any interest in becoming a weekend squire, for sure, LOL.
but the track of hers that means the most to me is So Far Away from Tapestry. Bloody amazing.....
Aimee, I loved this video. It was so informative and a great tribute with excellent examples of Carole's work. I remember when all those songs came out during my childhood and teen years. And I was a huge Tapestry fan. Such a breakout for her. Classic. And Beautiful on Broadway was a highlight show for me. Thanks for such a feelgood video with great memories.
What an excellent presentation. Love your insights and your singing. Great job.
Amazing songs and you are amazing to. Thank you so much.
Wow this is so powerful and very moving. Carol King, one the greatest song writers of all time!
what a happy video... wonderful music and your performance were complimentary of her songs
thx for the amazingly inspired and skillful tribute to the genius of Carole King - you have a fine voice
Excellent! I love all those songs, especially "Up On The Roof" by Laura Nyro - so special to me!
