Tapestry was one of those albums I used to play and sing to over and over and over as a teen. Carol is an icon for a reason! So many amazing songs that she recorded, and she is also incredibly talented as a songwriter. She's written songs that were perfect for her and for people like James, Aretha, The Drifters, Mariah Carey, and Donny Osmond! Her songs move us so much because they are real, just like her!

This song performed by Carole King and James Taylor is to make you cry! This letter is pure poetry and sensitivity, typical of the genius James Taylor. I think I heard this song for the first time when I was about 12 or 13 years old, I believe that the end of the 60's and even today, when I listen, I get a strong emotion! How good music was made then! This Baldwin piano crying in the background is killing ... Thank you for everything, James, Carole, you are irreplaceable ... Who never needed a friend shoulder to cry on? Paul Pecchio, from S. Paulo, Brazil.

Carol King was writing and singing songs since the 50's. Neil Sedaka even wrote "Oh Carol" for her in 1958 in an effort to ask her out, so she wasn't up and coming in the 70's. She was famous since she hit the stage in the 50's.

Revolver Den A few points: Her first single, 'The right girl' came out in 58. She was only 16, & it wasn't a hit. She became famous as a songwriter with her husband, Gerry Goffin, in the 60s, but not as a singer until 'Tapestry' in 71. Neil sedaka, had already dated her, in high school, when 'O Carol' came out. She married G. Goffin the next year, 59.

From a woman who broke through an almost invisible glass ceiling. It is difficult to describe a woman who wrote some of the best Urban rock of the 60's and then moves into a more upper middle class public acceptance. Perhaps she was 'marketed' differently as Jews moved into the middle class. However that history does not explain her beautiful music and her brilliant musicianship and genius as a composer! She is a brilliant musician and a beautiful performer. She is ageless.

No . Back in the day , writers were given assignments and listened to a " sound " , or songs already recorded by a group . The writers task was to write the next hit . The writer was a commodity contracted by the publisher . When Carol had a big enough ' Catalog ' of different material they often took the big risk of stepping out from behind the studio . For Carol , that came when she opened for James Taylor after he took off with "You've Got A Friend " , which she wrote for him . This was a step she took before " Tapestry " was released .
