Discussion: Carole King, Tapestry

This is one of my favorite albums.

I love "It's Too Late," "You've Got A Friend," "Where You Lead," "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" and "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman."

Are there any orgers who like this albums as well? If so, what are your favorite songs?

One of the best albums from the 70's.

My favourite songs are It's Too Late, Beautiful and I Feel The Earth Move.

I love the whole album.

This is still a fantastic album. One of my favorites is "So Far Away." Ms. King is a truly gifted artist.

the 70's and most of the 80's were the last GREAT album decades. It was the advent of CD's that runied that whole thing, the fact you could drop the needle anywhere and have a great song, you were forced to make great records. Because who the hell wanted to get up and move the needle. CD's and the "skip" not to mention 20 track 80 minute "nightmares" ruined it all.

That's my childhood too,altho I don't think I listen to lesbian music.
Not that I know of anyway,except maybe "Wendy & Lisa" smile
However,that's so many great songs on "Tapestry".
I like the arrangments too in it's simplicity.

Many songwriters today needs to go back and listen to this timeless stuff that went into this classic. I Feel The Earth Move, It's Too Late, So Far Away, and Where You Lead are just memerizing. You don't hear a lot of this in today's music landscape.

I agree.

Carole King was such a fantastic songwriter during her peak.

A good album needs only 6-8 tracks and about 40 minutes of runtime cool
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

People really gave the business to Prince when he started putting out 45-minute CDs (starting with "Musicology"). You still hear it today - "It's too short! Ripoff! Blah blah blah!"
