Carol King and “You’ve Got a Friend”. This is appropriate for the week of Valentine’s Day!
It is one of the best-selling albums of all time, with over 25 million copies sold worldwide.
It received four Grammy Awards in 1972, including Album of the Year. In 2003, “Tapestry” was ranked number 36 on Rolling Stone list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
King wrote or co-wrote all of the songs on the album, several of which had already been hits for other artists such as Aretha Franklin’s “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” and The Shirelles’ “Will You Love Me Tomorrow” (in 1960). James Taylor, who encouraged King to sing her own songs and who also played on “Tapestry”, would later have a number one hit with “You’ve Got a Friend”.
When you’re down and troubled
And you need some lovin’ care
And nothin’, nothin’ is goin’ right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know, wherever I am
I’ll come runnin’
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there
You’ve got a friend

Carole Kingin Tapestry-albumi, josta myös tämä biisi löytyy, on yksi maailmankaikkeuden parhaimmista älppäreistä.
Olen samaa mieltä
Tapestry is definitely a classic album … and so is the image. 🙂
I know, the image is a classic for sure 🙂 Tapestry is one of the best in my opinion
I love that album and listen to it alot . 😀
It is a good one😊
Mukava live-versio upeasta klassikosta!
Loistavasti, ammattitaitoisesti tehtyä ja sovitettua musa. Vaikkei hlökohtaisesti toimi niin arvostan!(muusikkous velvoittaa;) Hyvät sanat!
Musiikkimausta ei voi kiistella tai voi, mutta ei kannata 🙂 Mutta hyvä musiikki on hyvää genrestä huolimatta
