THE College-Age Woman Album of the 1970s
Prior to the release of her breakthrough album "Tapestry" in 1971, Carole King had already made a huge contribution to the pop/rock scene by writing for other stars such as Aretha Franklin ("Feel Like a Natural Woman"); Little Eva ("The Locomotion"), and The Shirelles ("Will You Love Me Tomorrow"). Other tunes such "You've Got a Friend" were popularized by other singers - in this case, James Taylor - so that her name was more of a footnote than one belonging to a widely recognized singer. "Tapestry" changed all that. Featuring her own songs that were popularized by other musicians as well as some new ones, King allowed her gutsy, honest style full reign. The public responded by keeping the album on the charts for a full six years.

For those who lived through the 70s, it is astonishing to find the number of chart-topping tracks on this CD. Besides "You're Got a Friend," "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" and "Feel Like a Natural Woman," this CD contains "I Feel the Earth Move," "So Far Away," "It's Too Late," "Way Over Yonder," "Beautiful," "Smackwater Jack," and, of course, "Tapestry." Surprisingly, these songs have endured decades, unlike much of the pop music of the era. King's forthright expression of emotion transcends the 70s sound and context.

Women of a certain age and the guys who loved them should find memories embedded in every track, as this album was the unofficial dorm must-have from the mid-70s to the early 80s. Men looking for a romantic gift for women who grew up during that time (and have not replaced their vinyl records) could not make a better choice. -- Debbie Lee Wesselmann

An absolute classic!!! Nuff said!!!
This is one of the greatest albums of all time,hands down,sounds as good today as when it was released ions ago,a timeless classic!!! A must for any serious music collection!!! A true "Tapestry" of songs!!! Recommended! Two thumbs up!!! A+

Feel the earth move
As the search for vinyl turned from a romp to the local music store to a search in the antique mall. I realized it was time to switch to CD's. With limited space and no future for many old vinyl friends it was time to round them up and release them to the local used book store. I cried and could only hope they would find a home that would cherish them.

It did not take long before I realized I missed them. So now I spend my days waiting for them to be reincarnated. Some that return are so tinny in sound that I can not believe they were that way to begin with. Others are so mangled that the original pattern of tunes is lost for ever.

It may be the result of time but I found this album to be all I remember and then some. It is well worth the purchase.

"Tapestry" is the best representation of Carol King and her music. If you only buy one, this is it. And you will feel the earth move under your feet.

A RICH TAPESTRY OF WORDS AND SOUND...
Having had the record album many years ago, I was happy to get the CD. It is a wonderful CD by a prolific and talented songwriter who just happens to be a most expressive singer. Who better to sing her songs.

Without a doubt, the best track on the CD is "Will You Love Me Tomorrow". Not only is the music terrific and the singing expressive, the lyrics to this song are pure poetry. "It's Too Late", "You've Got a Friend", and "Tapestry" are some of the other golden tracks on this CD.

There is not, however, one bad track on this CD, and there are not too many CDs about which one may say this. The CD liner also includes the lyrics to the songs on it. It is definitely a CD without which no music library should be.
