In 1971, she became more famous. That's the year Tapestry became one of the biggest-selling LPs of all time. It's easy to hear why--the music is loose, earthy, L.A. session-pop. King is casual, intimate, and tough; she covers all the emotional ground of the post-liberated woman with ease. She brings adult nuance to "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" and comes up with hits ("It's Too Late," "I Feel the Earth Move") whose white-soul realism and maturity put pop hits to shame. --Steve Tignor --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. . Review: As superb as the day it was recorded: a masterwork - Why has Carol King's 1971 recording Tapestry stood the test of time? Two words: sincerity and emotion. The CD I bought from desertcart came with a sticker announcing: "4X Grammy Winner! Over 11 Million Sold! Every song's a classic!" But that really doesn't explain why, whether you're an "old timer" who got the original on vinyl or a young person experiencing King for the first time, Tapestry is so fresh, vital and appealing from start to finish. It's not just King's superb white-soul sing-along melodies, or her music's wonderful rhythms, or the incredible variety of songs on this beautifully remastered CD. King wrote for a LOT of other artists who recorded her music and became very famous doing so doing the songs on this CD. Indeed, when she recorded this in 1971 she was not as well-known to the general public as her music -- but that quickly changed when this became one of the great-selling LPs of all time. The secret is in her unpretentious, 100-per-cent post-liberated woman singing. She means EVERY word, every phrase and it comes across. Each jaunty song is a tasteful, at times playful, mini-drama. People often say that "so and so" (fill in the blank here) is the female equivalent of Frank Sinatra, considered the King of singing lyrics with supreme sincerity. But the REAL queen is definitely King. Her lyrics (happy and sad) don't just come alive, they're bursting with life-force as much as her music is bursting with worldclass melodies and rhythms. Example: James Taylor grew increasingly famous (and rich) with his smash recording of You've Got a Friend. But his does not contain one-millionth the sincerity of King's rendition. Anyone who's ever "down" should listen to her sing the song -- and you'll feel like you do have a friend. And gift this to a beloved friend or relative and tell them THAT SONG is for them and when they listen they will completely get the message, a message King delivers right from the heart. When the concert-challenged (she did not like to perform in public) King sings her songs the more famous versions of her music performed by more famous artists seem like elevator music in comparison. Her "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" is laced with vulnerability unmatched by any other singer. `It's Too Late" takes on a near-defiant tone due to her phrasing. She also does unparalleled work with the more upbeat songs such as "Where You Lead' and (my favorite) `I Feel the Earth Move" (our unofficial theme song here in California). If you've heard King, get, listen to and savor this remastered CD. If you love someone, gift it. If you're a young musician or singer listen to and EMULATE a master writer and performer. King's lyrics, music, rhythms and sincerity haunted and moved me in 1971 and they do today since this CD is every milligram good as it was when it was first recorded. According to the liner notes, Tapestry was #1 for 15 weeks, on the charts for more than six years, and earned four Grammies including Record of the Year (for It's Too Late) and Song of the Year (You've Got a Friend." This CD also contains two wonderful previously unreleased bonus tracks. Review: Everyone should have this cd - Best album. Timeless songs and perfect delivery.

Essential ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gifting this for teen granddaughter - she needs timeless Tapestry! *by N***6 on August 28, 2025* Rather than delve into the details of Carole King's best album that have already been stated by other reviewers, I will simply state my comments. This was one of my very favorite albums as a teen. I didn't buy a lot, and used my babysitting money (50 cents/hour back then!) for this one along with The Carpenters, Neil Diamond, John Denver, Jim Croce, Simon & Garfunkel - that was my youth's music! I loved Tapestry so much that when I was given an assignment in poetry class to review a record album for its lyrics, this is the one I picked. Fast forward 50+ years, and I am a Nana to a beautiful granddaughter who turns 16 next week. She is not your average 16 year old girl. Her parents are music lovers, and have introduced her to the great music of the 60s-70s, and she loves it, as well as jazz & blues, and some modern music too. She's very selective. She gets really into the lyrics, and life stories of the writers, and loves to discuss these with me and others. She loves Simon & Garfunkel, and has asked for a CD of them and/or Paul Simon alone for her birthday. So in addition to Bridge Over Troubled Water, she is getting her own copy of Carole King's Tapestry. I just recently bought one for myself, having lost track ov the album over the decades, and realized all over again how much this music impacted my growing up years. It's now in my sewing room's boom box rotation. I want the same for her - she needs to have You've Got a Friend memorized for her lifetime, just like I have. As well as the other wonderful pieces on this album. It's timeless! ## Frequently Bought Together - Carole King Tapestry - Reflections Carly Simon's Greatest Hits - Fleetwood Mac Rumors --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://bermuda.desertcart.com/products/1877802-tapestry](https://bermuda.desertcart.com/products/1877802-tapestry) --- *Product available on Desertcart Bermuda* *Store origin: BM* *Last updated: 2026-10-24*
