This is an incredible piece of music written and performed by the incomparable Carol King. This has always been my favorite song by her. It's very much of its time period...the early 1970s...and yet it also sounds contemporary and modern. The chord changes are so smooth elegant and the general feeling of the song is of floating yet still being earth bound. It is slightly bittersweet yet positive energy outweighs the little bit of melancholy in the few darker notes. I'd like to have this played at my funeral....it is just that good.

Carole King is simply the best female vocalist/pianist of all time. When I heard "its too late" at age 11 I just knew she was something special and in the presence of greatness. Producer Lou Adler was a genius when explaining to Carole for 'Tapestry' to "play and sing as though she were playing to someone in their livingroom", and of course the rest is history. Tapestry became a phenomenon, universal. Carole I have always loved you and your gift of style implicitly! Signed, your #1 fan, CEG.

btw: Carole King is easily one of our generation's greatest song writer/performer/artists. Her work spans 4 decades... from writing pop-music in the 50s and 60s for other artists songs like "Up on the roof" "Chains" 'Locomotion" "Pleasant Valley Sunday" "One fine day" and dozens upon dozens of #1 hits sung by others ...to her solo break out "Tapestry." Better than Dylan? I would say yes; she wrote music that crossed different genres for different artists better than any other writer. Dylan; yup wrote a lot of music but all of it pretty much the same genre. Well that's my opinion. Go look up her list of music credits and be amazed.
