Tapestry by Carole King
Tapestry is an album by Carole King, released in 1971. 8 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 45 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “You've Got a Friend”, on 9 lists with a best position of #230.
Tapestry, Carole King's second album, arrived on Ode on February 10, 1971, and it's the sound of a woman who had spent years writing hits for others with Gerry Goffin finally singing her own songs in her own plain, unvarnished voice. Lou Adler produced, and he keeps everything warm and close, like a friend's living room at midnight.
"It's Too Late" and "I Feel the Earth Move" shared the lead single and sat at number one for five weeks, while "So Far Away", "You've Got a Friend", "Beautiful" and "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" fill out a record with barely a wasted groove. It won four Grammys, Album of the Year among them, went 14 times platinum, and entered the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998 and the National Recording Registry in 2003.
