Carole King’s Tapestry

Yes please!

Songs that are still performed today because they are timeless.

I have already mentioned it on GN, but for those who missed it I'm happy to tell you about my connection to James Taylor and Carly Simon - one of those unbelievable, but true tales.

Anyone want to know?

Oh yes, Tapestry was an amazing album, so many good songs all together. It’s too late, You’ve got a friend, It might as well rain until September etc.
Brilliant songwriter too. Was she married to Gerry Goffin? Didn’t they write Up on the Roof and One Fine Day, and loads of others.
Thanks for the memories, grannyactivist.

This was one of my favourite 1970s albums along with Carly Simon, Tubular Bells and Bridge Over Troubled Water.

Great album. I wasn't into her at that time. I was 12 and a big glam rock fan. But I found it in my 20s. I've loved her and James Taylor ever since. I've seen him on a number of occasions and he never disappoints. I would have loved to see Carole King.

Yes, I still have the LP
I can't believe it was 50 years ago.

I always loved this album, but can't believe it's 50 years old !!!

X posts Bridie , snap!

Yes and I have had more than one copy.
First a vinyl record, then cassette, and now CD. Unfortunately I wasn’t in Hyde Park, but lucky fans who were - she sounded great.
It’s one of those albums you can sing along and know every word to the wonderful lyrics. ?

Classic album one of my favourites, it has travelled with me through time , from vinyl to tape, then to cd and now streamed to my phone .

Oh yes, I loved every track and still sing along. I'd only been married a short time when the album came out, I was living in a city I didn't know 400 miles from my family and friends and these songs helped me to get through a bad time. Wonderful stuff.

I was in Hyde Park four years ago grannyactivist.
