Carole King was famous as a writer of girl-group hits in the '60s. In 1971, she became more famous. That's the year Tapestry became one of the biggest-selling LPs of all time. It's easy to hear why--the music is loose, earthy, L.A. session-pop. King is casual, intimate, and tough; she covers all the emotional ground of the post-liberated woman with ease. She brings adult nuance to "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" and comes up with hits ("It's Too Late," "I Feel the Earth Move") whose white-soul realism and maturity put pop hits to shame. --Steve Tignor --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Summary: Always makes me feel better
Comment: This was recorded around the time I was born, but it truly is timeless. So few artists span across multiple generations, but Carole King is one of them. I never get tired of listening to this album and no matter how I feel on any given day, something about her voice combined with the lyrics, leaves me with a sense of well being.

Summary: An unforgettable album by the "ideal female singer" ca 1970
Comment: In the 1970s, Carole King topped the list of favorite female singers. Her poetry and songs have matured with the rest of the generation, but this remains the defining album of the folk rock era.

Summary: A classic!
Comment: I can't figure out why I hadn't bought the CD version of this album until now. I had it on vinyl for years and finally got the CD so I can listen to it in my car. Now I remember why it was one of the all-time best selling albums of all time. Every song is a hit - great music by a great singer/songwriter. One of the best albums every doe and as relevant today as it was back when it was written.

Summary: So happy I discovered this!!!
Comment: I've heard many of these songs before, but wasn't aware of the album until it was talked about on American Idol. To put it simply, I absolutely LOVE the CD! I only wish I would have found it sooner (the album was released the year I was born). I have become a BIG Carole King fan! She has timeless appeal.

Summary: Still love it
Comment: As a kid, this was one of my first albums. I memorized the songs and sang it endlessly. It is still great, causing me to sing at the top of my lungs, much to the embarrassment of my children...
