All lyrics from Tapestry album, popular Carole King songs with tracklist and information about album.

Carole King performs Tapestry in full on stage for the first time this weekend. What is it about this 45-year old album that inspires such devotion?

Tapestry is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Carole King, released in 1971 on Ode Records and produced by Lou Adler. It is one of the best-selling albums of all time, with over 25 million copies sold worldwide. In the United States, it has been certified Diamond by the RIAA with more than 10 million copies sold. It received four Grammy Awards in 1972, including Album of the Year.

With its reliance on pianos and gentle drumming, Tapestry is a light and airy work on its surface, occasionally skirting the boundaries of jazz, but it's also an intensely emotional record, the songs confessional and direct; in its time it connected with listeners like few records before it, and it remains an illuminating experience decades later.

Of the 12 tracks on Carole King's Tapestry, released in early 1971, seven have become pop music standards, the kind of songs practically every music fan has heard. I Feel the Earth Move," "So Far Away," "It's Too Late," "You've Got a Friend," "Where You Lead," "Will You Love Me Tomorrow"" and "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" are all songs that I've been aware of for as long as I can remember, songs that have always been around. And that's the biggest achievement here, that so many classic pop songs are on the same release. The album might be mostly just King and a piano, but Tapestry features enough easy-listening goodness to last any listener a lifetime.

King has an impressive vocal range, and is fully capable of expressing her emotion and power through her voice. Along with this, the instrumentation across this album is hugely solid and effective. I really don't have much against this album and will likely return to it more to see how much more this album sticks for me. One listen in and I'm already pretty.

Carole King’s second album, Tapestry, has fulfilled the promise of her first and confirmed the fact that she is one of the most creative figures in all of pop music. It is an album of surpassing personal-intimacy and musical accomplishment and a work infused with a sense of artistic purpose. It is also easy to listen to and easy to enjoy. Miss King’s past accomplishments have become something of a pop music legend.
