I don't think we will EVER see the level of singer/songwriter talent that the 60's/70's gave us. Carole is a perfect example. The entire Tapestry album is a masterpiece.
Facts.
Amen.
Tapestry, Hot August Night by Neil Diamond, The Best of Bread, the Beatles White Album and Jesus Christ Superstar. I wore those vinyls OUT. Occasionally for a little variety, the Greateest Hits of Simon and Garfunkel.
No, it's a step above a masterpiece probably the best album ever recorded.
Agreed
Girl, you need to see Aretha singing Natural Women at the Kenned Center honors that honored Carole King. the Obama's cried. And Carole's reaction was epic.
The BEST!
Absolutely, a must watch dear Aretha God. Rest your beautiful Soul ❣️ ✨️ 😍
Yassss!
Indeed! I've watched that a number of times, and Carole's reactions are almost as fun to watch as Aretha's epic performance!
And she needs to be informed that Carole wrote the music, but her husband songwriting partner Gerry Goffin wrote the lyrics.
King spent about 10 year writing songs for others, before recording herself. Many giant hits. Some:
Take Good Care of My Baby,- Bobby VeeI
Another Pleasant Valley Sunday, the Monkees
Dont Say Nothing Bad About My Baby
One Fine Day, The ChiffonsDont Bring Me Down, The Animals
Crying in the Rain - the Everly Brothers
Im Into Something Good,Hermans Hermits
The Loco-Motion, Little Eva
Up on the Roof -the Drifters
The Shirelles’ “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,”
Chains - the Beatles
(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman
Goin Back - Dusty Springfield
These songs filled my teenage years wow.
Neil Sedaka song Oh Carol was about Carol King 'cause he had the hots for her.
Wow
I’m Into Something Good was of my favorite Herman’s Hermits songs! Have a couple of those albums along with the Monkeys as I was in 5th and 6th grade when most of those songs came out in early sixties!
@@lantose Me too... I was 17yo and met them when they were playing in a small disco in Leeds UK... they'd just hit the charts... nice Guys. we were so close to them we had to step back to give them room to sing.... I never knew Carole King wrote it though.
Her album Tapestry is a genuine masterpiece.
Everyone I knew in the 70's had that album.
You're falling in love with Carol like we did back in the early seventies. So much talent packed in one beautiful woman.
She is amazing. Wrote so many hits (with her husband) for so many other artists, and then just killed it with Tapestry.
As others have mentioned, Aretha's performance of Natural Woman at the Kennedy Center honors for Carole King is definitely worth a watch. As it turned out, it was Aretha's last performance before she passed away.
If you feel like exploring more of Carole's music, you won't be disappointed - she wrote or co-wrote almost 120 songs that reached the top 100. Yes, almost 120 top 100 hits. She was a masterful songwriter. If you feel like exploring more of James' music, you won't be disappointed - he's sold as many albums as Tina Turner, the Beach Boys, David Bowie, and Stevie Wonder just to give you a sense of his fame. Their collaborations together will last forever - such beautiful, timeless music.
Her tapestry album was huge.
But before then, King/Goffin produced hit after hit after hit, for other 60's artists. They were up close to Lennon/McCartney league, as duo writers.
I played it till it had new grooves in it.
@@chrisjamieson3452music history matters,,,,John and Paul where totally inspired by goffin /king and often stated they wanted to be the goffin / king of England. There is a great story of Lennon meeting king in the late 60’s that didn’t go so well.lol
Carole King has always been one of the greatest sweethearts in the music industry. Truly. Not to mention a tremendous songwriter and musician.
Carole King wrote some of the most relatable lyrics of her era.
They hold up today, and many people don't know she wrote as many hits as she did.
From Wikipedia:
Tapestry is the second studio album by Carole King, released on February 10, 1971. The album's lead singles, "It's Too Late" and "I Feel the Earth Move", spent five weeks at number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Easy Listening charts.
Tapestry has been certified 14× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. Tapestry won four Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Record of the Year.
James Taylor, who encouraged King to sing her own songs and who also played on Tapestry, had a number one hit with "You've Got a Friend" later in 1971.
Tapestry was one of my first music purchases.
Check out "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" either her version or The Shirelles version. The Shirelles version was a #1 Hit back in 1961. Carole King co-wrote this song for The Shirelles when Carole was just a teenager.
I love to see you loving Carole. I feel the same way.
Her album "Tapestry" has nothing but hits. It was first LP when I was 14 in 1970. Big fan ever since. Song writer extraordinaire! Catch the Broadway musical play Beuatiful" about her life if you can. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beautiful:_The_Carole_King_Musical
YES!
Yes, a national treasure. Her Tapestry album is unmatched…we knew it would be the minute we listened to this album release, all of us heard and loved her…
Her whole album "Tapestry" is great.
Tapestry album, every song 🎵 is awesome.
Way Over Yonder is a must for you and anyone else to hear too! It's about Heaven. It touches me still today, my soul vibes with the truth!
she's awesome in every way.....few songwriters, past or present, male or female can hold a candle to her
I find this to be undeniably true.
Carole was a neighbor of mine in the early 1980's. Britt, you read Carole perfectly. Sweet and genuine. We lived in a tiny area called Sunbeam, Idaho (Carole bought the Robinson Bar Ranch a couple miles down the Salmon River). Less than 100 lived people in the area. Had one store that was the grocery, post office, cafe, gas station, etc. She treated everyone kindly and cheerfully. Can't say enough nice things about Carole King.
That is just precious to hear.
Even more impressive, no Auto-Tune, no digital effects or keyboard, and only took herself to write it.
Towering talent, zero ego. Both of these fine people. Such a joy to travel back to my youth via the magic of both these musical storytellers. And an equal joy to watch you discovering and enjoying them for the first time Britt.
Carole was a primary writer for the Carpenters. She was told be record producers that she didn't have the face of what they were looking for. She forged ahead, with the help of artists who said SHE is what is right.
Being captivated by her, as you have become in the last few days, is not uncommon. I clearly recall as a 5th grader, sitting in the bedroom of a neighborhood buddy's older sister, listening to her (and sneaking to do so) Carol King album, Tapestry from front to back. And simply feeling her crawl into my very soul. I've been captivated since. You keep me coming back to your channel because you've got good taste and instincts--particularly in your 70s love--and it's just a delight to be taken back to that "first precious feeling" of my youth. Thanks for supplying it.
Two things. Aretha sang Natural Woman for/to Carol when Carol was honored at the Kennedy Center in DC. Maybe the best version by Aretha I've ever heard. Carol is in tears by the end. Very moving performance!! Second, Carol has been writing hit songs since the 60"s. She and her husband Jerry Goffin were a songwriting team. They wrote many classics. Check out, "Up on the Roof", "Under the Boardwalk". But she didn't really start performing live shows until this period you see. But now was writing mostly by herself. Her album Tapestry was HUGE. Every girl I knew, had it. I believe these two videos were from 1970 or 71. But whether you react to Aretha at the Kennedy Center or not. Just go watch it. PURE LOVE!!!
Every guy had Tapestry too. It had universal appeal. Great songwriting will do that.
Carrol wrote the classic song “”Up On The Roof” with Jerry Goffin when she was like 16 years old, a huge hit recorded by The Drifters, and much later by James Taylor.
Her Tapestry album is epic. Check out "Been to Canaan" and "Up on the roof." Carole's 2 daughters are also singers.
'She's a national treasure'. And that she most certainly is!
One of my favorite songs off of her Tapestry album ❤When U was 7 or 8 years old I learned the words to all of the songs off of that album.
Other Carole performed songs "It's Too Late" "Sweet Seasons" "Mr. Jazzman" and "Where You Lead" Others she wrote for others "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" (The Shirelles), "Natural Woman (Aretha Franklin), "The Locomotion" (Little Eva), "One Fine Day" (The Chiffons), "Pleasant Valley Sunday" (The Monkees), "Up On The Roof" (The Drifters), "I'm Into Something Good" (Herman's Hermits), "Take Good Care of my Baby" (Bobby Vee),
Oh hell, another suggestion, "Midnight Blue" by Melissa Manchester.
Carole King and Gerry Goffin, who wrote so many wonderful songs together, also were married for 10 years.
I believe Gerry wrote the lyrics to this song and she wrote the melody, and delivering it with her wonderful, touching style, her soul ❤
Carol is the writer and composer of So Far Away.
For Birtt's info', Carole wrote the lyrics, as she did for most of the songs on Tapestry.
@othermotte Gerry Goffin wrote the lyrics to Natural Woman and Carole King, the melody. My mistake
@@wanderer0617Gerry Goffin wrote lots of great lyrics and doesn’t get the credit he deserves.
She writes feelings and emotions and manages to share them with us😊
Isn't she just wonderful? Glad you're catching up with her enchanting songs.
She was writing hits as a teenager.
She also wrote the very cynical “Pleasant Valley Sunday” for The Monkees. Definitely worth a listen.
Carol King Wrote all the Music for the Movie Murphys Romance starring James Garner and Sally Field. Great movie great music!!
Other great tunes Carole King wrote are "It's Too Late" #1 in 1971, "Chains" which was recorded by The Beatles in 1963, "Locomotion" which was recorded by Little Eva 1962 #1 and 1974 by Grand Funk Railroad #1, "One Fine Day" recorded top five hit for The Chiffons in 1962, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" recorded by The Shirelles #1 hit in 1960, and even the psychedelic rock hit from the film, 'Easy Rider' by The Byrds, "Wasn't Born to Follow" in 1968.
Dont forget will you still love me tomorrow
This 70's girl wore out Carole's "Tapestry" album along with Bread's "If"! Love...love...love
It is from the album Tapestry (so was You've Got a Friend that you reviewed yesterday, but it was Carol's own version. Tapestry was the top selling album of all time before being passed by Michael Jackson Thriller. An absolutely seminal record
There’s a much more recent performance by them performing her - It’s Too Late
I bought her first album Tapestry. You have to listen to the whole thing. It is so awesome. And James Taylor is unbelievable. You have to really dig into him!! Love love love!!!❤️
Tapestry is a great album by Carol King. Not a bad song on it.
My fav part is the flute at the end
This is probably my favorite Carol King song because it becomes more relavent with every year that passes think of this song 20 years from now and see how true that statement is
It really is lovely. She makes me nostalgic for a time I wasn’t around for.
She writes about simple but essential things. Things people think but cannot put into words. Creativity reached its apex between 1968 and 1973. I could spent the rest of my life just listening to music from that time period.
She writes melodies that feel like they have always existed.
Can you IMAGINE going to work in the Brill Building with writers like that?!
She’s a genius level songwriter.
Peace
I went to go see James Taylor at the Dallas Music Hall at Fair Park in Dallas, TX in the spring of 1971. This was a small theatre so my girlfriend and I looked for better seats and the orchestra pit was empty so we just sat down in it and got to watch the whole concert, the best seats in the house. To our surprise and delight after James performed a couple of songs he said he had a surprise for the audience and Carol King walked out on stage and played with James Taylor the whole rest of the concert! We were literally about twenty feet from the stage. I was just 21 years old and it was one of my best concert memories and I had a lot of them in my youth being a child of the 60s and all. Best memory!
Britt, these two artists are musical icons. I'm 60 years old and I so appreciate you reacting to the music that I was raised on. Thank you. Your reactions are truly sincere and you reveal your heart to all of us watching!
This Carole King song, also brings to mind the Moody Blues song: " Lovely To See You Again."
Carol King is someone you would like to sit back with, have a cup of tea just chat about whatever.
‘Moved’ and ‘lovely’ are perfect descriptions
Her music just feels 'familiar'. It's like, she sings a song and introduces you to the best friend you never knew you had. 🥰
With your Dolly t-shirt in the background, it looks like she's watching Carole in loving sisterhood and admiration. ☮️💜🤘
Carol King is such a beautiful song writer.
Thank god that Joni Mitchell convinced King to write and record her own music.
Carole and James were married.
Tapestry is a beautiful song. We were so blessed to grow up with them.
I saw James Taylor here is Australia about 70 yrs old, he was AMAZING.
I thought James Taylor and Carly Simon were married. No matter James Taylor, Carly Simon, Carole King were fantastic and this is when I remember their music back in the late 60's or early 70's and I loved it.
Seems to me Tapestry needs to be an album you own in your catalog. Put it on and listen to it front to back. Masterful!❤
There is a nice video of Carol performing and she was singing " You've Got a Friend", and unbeknownst to her James Taylor was backstage at one point in the song he cuts in, her reaction is priceless, and they finish the song together. You should react to that, it is great.
Found out just yesterday something I did not know is that Taylor Swift is named after James Taylor, she talks about how her mother told her.
There was a Broadway musical about her life entitled Beautiful.
Carole King co-wrote with her then husband Gerry Goffin and wrote dozens of hit songs for many artist throughout the 1960's, she recorded herself from time to time but was not until "Tapestry" in 1971 where she really stuck out as a performing artist herself.
Love Carol king and her music. Just recently seen beautiful the Carol king g musical. It was great.
One of my mother’s favorites. I remember watching her roll her pot seeds off Tapestry.
Maybe one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Her whole “Tapestry” album is fantastic. She’s one of the 5 best songwriters who’ve ever lived.
her cd Tapestry, is the best "rainy day" music out there. i abide by it. whether you need a good cry or you "got the morbs" or just need to sigh a few thousand times- i'm telling you, it really is the best cd ever.
HANDY MAN by James Taylor is an awesome song.
Very insightful and sensitive reaction. Joni Mitchell is another great . And your curls are stunning. ❤❤
Carole Kings album Tapestry was one of my favorites when I was younger. This takes me back.
I feel in awe of her ease of poetic expression...simple emotions that echo deep within us all.
She’s enchanting baby girl…like you. Good to see you back❤️🙏👏🏻
The story goes that in High School, Neil Sedaka asked a girl to go to the Prom with him as his date and she turned him down and she went with some other boy... he wrote a song about it called " Oh Carole " it was his first No 1 hit... the girl was Carole King and the boy was Paul Simon { Simon and Garfunkle }... I hope its a true story.
I used to play the vinyl Tapestry back when it first came out, so much so that recently got back into it and bought the CD so I could hear it in my car to just chill to. Love Carole King!
I’ll never get tired of singing Carole’s praises. It’s a legitimate tragedy more people don’t know this master. She’s tip top… right up there at the apex. Carole is a monster… in the best way.
I fell in love all over again today! She can push her hair off her face while she’s playing the piano and singing.
And don't forget the Broadway show "Beautiful" is her life story!!
Thanks to my older sister, I remember hearing James Taylor, Carly Simon and Carole King throughout the house, as she played her records on the phongragh and Living room stereo.
Carole King is an absolute Master, who has been writing and arranging since the late 1950s. Carole King and Gerry Gofhen were two of the original Brill Building song writers, writing for Don Kirshner and Al Nevin in the late 50s and early 60s... Rumor has it Carole 👑 originally wrote the Little Evie hit ( Locomotion.) And the Aretha Franklin song: "Natural Woman. "
But this song really cut to the bone, those years right after Highschool, when everyday was a mystery and you didn't know where your next meal was coming from.
Fortunately I grew up with their songs. I was so happy in those days.
Do yourself the favor of listening to the whole Tapestry album. So, so good. One of my proud grandma moments was when my 16 year old granddaughter told me it was her favorite album.
You recently reacted to Dusty Springfield but do you know that Dusty did a cover of Carole's song
'Goin back'? It's so beautiful. You will melt. ❤
It was such a beautiful time in eastern va. in the early 70s everyone was your friend.The music was the icing on the cake.
This is another one of those musicians life on the road songs.
Check out her gospel song, "Way Over Yonder" off the Tapestry album.
Simplicity is Elegance.
True story…I was gifted her Tapestry album 50+ years ago because the friend who had bought it “didn’t like her voice”. I still have and enjoy that album. Thanks so much for your excellent reactions to Carole, James and everyone else!
Amen! I feel the same when I listen to Carol Kings music it grounds me and envelopes me with serenity. Thank you for listening and reacting to her music:)
Thanks for listening
I saw her and James Taylor about 2010. Fabulous.
It’s a mood she is creating. With the key, the chords, the melodies and the lyrics. One of a kind.
James and King, two of the Best song writers of all time.
It's Too Late is my favorite of hers. But you can't go wrong with her or James Taylor, or both. They put emotions and nostalgia to music. Fire and Rain is James' best.
The internet / social media and always being superficially connected has stolen the feeling of being far away, on the road / with "nothing to do but close my mind" with your dreams in your head. Not sure if brilliant songs like this will ever be made again.
My favourite carol king song, it’s beautiful
Britt, I ❤️ that you get it!! …and I’m glad you listened, lol. Since her days at the Brill Building w/ Jerry Goffin to “Tapestry” to having a Broadway play written about her…she’s a classic! Check out the Kennedy Center Honors, so good! Nice Work, Brittany Britt !
When I was in high school I had a cassette tape player with these songs, I would play it as I got ready for school.
In 1987, King was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and, a year later, Goffin and King were awarded the National Academy of Songwriters' Lifetime Achievement Award.
Now you got it. My favorite CK song. It takes me all the way back.
yeah girl the songs are simple yet complex. Carol was a great song writer and song writer and producer.
❤❤❤More great music from Carole 😊and James. 😊❤
