You've got a Friend: Carole King

Snip

If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knockin' at your door

Snip

Now ain't it good to know
that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, yes, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them.

The Lyrics, Just Perfect~

than she was back then. She can still bring tears to your eyes when she sings.

I am so glad that the Prez was the one that awarded her the Gershwin Prize. It makes it all the sweeter!

17. Tapestry was the 2nd album I ever owned ...

The first being Sgt. Peppers. Both of them were birthday presents, I believe my 5th and 6th, respectively. My parents owned them both, but I wanted my own, so I could play them whenever I wanted, on my little 'suitcase' style record player, the kind with the three colored lights in the top half, behind a piece of plastic, so that you'd see this little light show flashing along with the music as it played. It was the 1973 version of the ipod

Pretty sure I still know damn near every word to every song, and could sing it off the top of my head, in something very close to the right key. To this day, all those songs from Tapestry take me back to being a little boy, when I was first discovering the joy of music.

I love, love, love me some Carole King. One of the greatest songwriters to ever walk this planet. This celebration of her work is well deserved..

[sheshe2]

19. I had one of those suitcase style record players!

Sorry to say, mine didn't have any blinking lights~


Thanks brett she was one of my favs! The prize is overdue yet so well deserved!

Carole King!
