		Carole King is thoroughly involved with her music; she reaches out towards us and gives everything she has.

	Biography: Carole King
		King seemed to arrive at the peak of her talents just in time to take advantage of a post-psychedelic generation that yearned for songs with a more personal, acoustic sound and lyrics that reflected simpler values.
		King was relatively inactive during this period, although she did continue to write both music and lyrics.
		Taylor urged King to continue to write and record her own songs; the result was the 1970 album Writer, which displayed flashes of a new maturity in King's writing along with her richly textured piano chords.

		Ironically, Ode's first move after signing King was to package her in a "rock band" that actually consisted of just her and three sidemen - bassist Charles Larkey and guitarist Danny Kortchmar, both of whom backed King on her later albums (Larkey eventually married King), and studio ace Jim Gordon.
		King had suddenly hit her commercial peak and was clearly thrilled to play the venue, so her between-song patter also is interesting.
		King's career was in real trouble by now: this one neither scored a hit single nor went gold, and the pattern continued with her subsequent album.

		Carole King's third release, is a benchmark recording for her and for pop music.
		King married her gift for the concise pop statement (finely honed as co-author with husband Gerry Goffin of countless pop classics in the 50s and 60s) to a reflective lyricism, to create one of the defining singer-songwriter albums of the 70s.
		For a decade, King wrote pop songs with her then-husband, Gerry Goffin: hits such as Little Eva's "The Loco-Motion" (Eva Boyd was the couple's baby-sitter) and the Monkees' "Pleasant Valley Sunday." Then King's friend James Taylor encouraged her to sing her own tunes.

	Carole King: Tapestry
		There can be no one within earshot of a radio that has not heard a Carole King song at some point in his or her life.
		King learned her craft well, and established her merited reputation long before Tapestry was launched on its illustrious journey to classic status.
		King's inclusion of her versions of these two hits did nothing to undermine their reputation; Will You Love Me Tomorrow, its cadence remarkably slower than the original, captures its wistful theme perfectly and squeezes it until the listener aches for the young girl's sake.
