    Carole King was my mother in 1970 when I didn't even know what a mother was. She was warm, emotional, and involved. I still listen to Tapestry and know that we had a bond she didn't even know about.

      So many of us had "Gloria Steinem as our "mother " back then..thank goodness that that skipped a generation, and that we have a few loving aunts to show us different. God is so Good!

    I live in Hong Kong and I am 70 years old now. In 1972, 52 years ago, I was studying late at 1 am at night for college exam, the radio back then was playing James Taylor’s You’ve got a friend.

      Anthem of that time, however, our time is Still now. Don't let the bad guys define us...or delete the truth that is. Let's decide that all of humanity come out and experience what we did. I hate that our grands live in a different world, an unsafe world , than we and our children did. It is time now for my generation to stop this madness...and we are doing it. Wake up people. Please. Stop watching TV, get online and look for alternative news. We were brainwashed too..but stopped watching TV/Cable in 2005. It is amazing to see the changes in our thinking! God has this and each and every one of us too...if we just accept His free gift of Salvation. He came for us. Eternity is forever.

    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!

    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 .

    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?

      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.

    This song got me through law school. They tried to tell us we knew more than anyone else did about anything. Many times I listened to this and sang along--"They'll take your soul if you let them, but don't you let them."

    This perfect piece of writing is something every race and creed on our planet can share and agree to and isn’t that the definition of a global masterpiece, Ms King is quite literally a gift from heaven and I can’t listen to this without tearing up with tears of joy... love it

      Have you heard his solo acoustic version from a year after this. No singers, none of the usual people. Tells a good intro before he starts it.

    It takes a great girl to call out to a male to ensure thru winter summer or fall they remain friends.
    Go Carol King it's Your Song and great that James Taylor is now supporting you.
    Go Girl Carol your voice and your right and yeah James T is finally backing you.
