Yes, she wrote this. It's from Tapestry, an absolute MONSTER of an album

[@tonygourdine512]

One of the greatest albums ever done in the history of American music !!! She also amoungst the best writers and composer's of all time as well !!!

[@MrKarat65]

Yeah, Tapestry speaks for itself, but this song was written by Carole and her - then - husband/writing partner, Gerry Goffin [Goffin/King], the original version released by ''The Shirelles'' is THE iconic version... kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnLbk2Sso8doaJI

[@Liriodendron-Ocean]

Such a GREAT Album!!!

[@TheChrisleekay]

I have this album on Japanese import SACD! It is a Monster!!! ;)

[@tonyherrera2570]

James Taylor AND Joni Mitchell on backup vocals… Carol King is one of the most prolific and successful songwriters of her generation. I forget how many weeks the album Tapestry stayed at number one…

[@Pahdopony]

I think it was number one for 3 months and a best selling album for something like 300 weeks.

[@annewoodard6803]

The entire Tapestry album is worth a listen. Carol King is one of the best songwriters from the 60’s and 70’s. Check out Aretha Franklin singing “Natural Woman” in tribute to Carol’s award at the Kennedy Center Honors. So many sang her songs, the catalog is extensive.❤️

[@ericanderson8886]

Big hit for The Shirelles back in the sixties but yeah Carol and Gerry Goffin composed it.

[@John_Chu]

One of the greatest songwriters of the rock era. She wrote "Natural Woman" for Aretha Franklin. And she was one of the best-selling female artists in her own right as well. A multi-Hall of Fame inductee. Truly a giant.

Coming from a hardcore Led Zeppelin fan, this album right here "Tapestry" is still one of my favorite albums ever and a complete masterpiece. But then, this was the 70's (early 70's) and for that decade especially, there was no shortage of albums that were masterpieces coming from some of the greatest musicians to ever grace this green earth.

[@steveullrich7737]

Exactly, there was something in the air in the 70s that resulted in a golden era of music that probably will never replicated,

[@willyroussel3563]

Same here live and breath Led Zeppelin but this album Tapestry and the best of Bread were must own.

[@chiefsohcahtoa3285]

I agree with loving both Zeppelin and Carole King. Good music is good music.

[@cherylwoodward]

Agreed! So many masterpiece albums from all genres. I visit this decade of music more than any other.

[@suesebree8670]

So true.....😊

[@keelsmac01]

Reminds me of my mom. RIP mom. Thanks guys

[@angelagraves865]

Tapestry is a great album. Tapestry Revisited: A Tribute to Carole King, with songs sung by different famous singers, is great, too.

[@jonsher7682]

Carole King wrote the song, specifically the music, one of 118 pop hits she wrote or co-wrote that made the Billboard Hot 100, one of the most prolific and great songwriters of the the last 60 years. The lyrics of this song, and on many of the songs from this era, were written by her then-husband Gerald Goffin, and you can hear in their collaboration both the deep love and painful uncertainty that marked their relationship. The two married in 1959 when he was 20 and she was 17 and pregnant and this song was their breakthrough hit, which was recorded by the Shirelles and went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1961. The couple had day jobs to pay the rent and wrote songs together at night. If you hear a song that was sung by both Carole and others, there is a 99% chance she wrote it -- she had tried to record in the early 1960s but found no traction, so instead wrote hit after hit for others, from Aretha Franklin to James Taylor -- James returned the favor in this song by playing guitar and singing backup vocals. King (whose birth name was Carol Klein) released her debut album in 1970, then a year later, released one of the greatest albums in the history of pop-rock, Tapestry, which is filled from beginning to end with hits, In 2020, Rolling Stone ranked it 25th best of the 500 greatest albums of all time. It topped the charts for 15 consecutive weeks, which to this day, is the record for most consecutive weeks at number one by a female solo artist. It's King you hear on piano, which she started to learn at age 4, and she is masterful on the keys. In addition to James Taylor, legendary Joni Mitchell sang the backup female vocals -- if you have not heard Mitchell, you are in for a treat, and I suggest you start with A Case of You.

[@tonytony5380]

I feel the earth move is a must

[@scottstewart5784]

James Taylor on back-up vocals. Not too shabby.

[@jonsher7682]

Also Joni Mitchell.

[@jahl14]

She writes every thing

[@christianmarler2253]

Written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, first recorded in 1960 by the Shirelles. It became the first song by an African-American girl group to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart. [Wikipedia]

[@michelle172ct]

Check out The Bee Gees singing this in tribute to Carol King. Absolutely beautiful

[@willheil7591]

Let’s face it, she wrote much of the black canon of songs in the 1960s and they made a Broadway musical about that. Love her beautiful piano playing, voice, songwriting and beautiful self.

[@davidprocaccini8935]

Carole King wrote or co-wrote 118 songs that charted on the Billboard 100

[@gregcable3250]

This came out in 1971, during the re-emergence of the "singer-songwriter"---James Taylor, Joni, Mitchell, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, Harry Chapin, Jim Croce, etc.--just the performer and their instrument (usually a guitar) on stage singing the songs they wrote. It was part of what people started to call "soft rock".

[@alu.minium521]

Essentially, Carol covered herself with this version of the song she co-composed that I think was a hit for the Shirelles some 8 years earlier.

[@clifton8929]

Carol King started out as a songwriter back in the 60s for acts like Little Eva's "The Loco-Motion," The Drifters' "Up On the Roof," The Chiffons "One Fine Day", Aretha Franklin's "(You Make Me Feel) Natural Woman," as well as songs for The Monkees Dusty Springfield, and, even The Beatles covered her song "Chains". Her solo album "Tapestry" is considered a masterpiece.

[@suesebree8670]

[@tjrivers]

Every single song on it.

[@richardcurley5798]

Carole wrote this, & it wastge tune that put her on the map when the Shirelles had a big hit with it in 1962. Carole is still going strong today.

[@sherigrow6480]

[@michaeljohns3445]

She worked as a songwriter for Phil Specter and his Wall Of Sound. While she wrote this song it was originally released by the Shirelles

[@turnsufficient4971]

Carole King co-wrote the song "Natural Woman" which Aretha Franklin made famous. They were good friends. ❤

[@jimmoore8951]

Carole and Aretha were an unbeatable team, wish they could have collaborated more. You can’t go wrong with a Carole King song

[@2869may]

"I FEEL THE EARTH MOVE" AND "IT'S TOO LATE BABY".... Carly Simon has some good ones too... (Speaking of Carole King and Carly Simon, lol.... James Taylor has a long list of great songs...!)

[@salmuscles]

Hi guys... for a full album you must do “Blue” it’s Joni Mitchell masterpiece... top ten album of all time ... thanks

[@kathybwell]

Also worth noting - Carole wrote the song, 'You've Got a Friend' that she dedicated to James Taylor after he lost a friend to suicide. That's the kind of thoughtful lady Carole is, such a kind soul.

[@christopherone1]

suicide...it's about his friend who got killed in an airplane crash, "flying machines in pieces on the ground"

[@kathybwell]

@@christopherone1 oh thanks, I always heard the friend took his own life.

[@christopherone1]

@@kathybwell it was a woman he was involved with, “Fire and Rain” was inspired by the death of a female friend, Susie Schnerr

[@dbradx]

Carole King owned the 70s with this album, and with all the songs she wrote for others. An amazing talent by any measure. I have two older sisters, so I grew up surrounded by this album - takes me right back to our family living room every time. Thanks for the trip home 🙂

[@edwardcapobianco2975]

Right on David, the days when you dropped the stylus on the album and played it through and through. No filler!

[@RMForbes505]

Indeed, Tapestry was one of those albums that every decent record collection had back then. Everyone I knew had it.

[@morbiouslenoir]

Carole is a giant among songwriters. Literally hundreds of top 100 songs. Tapestry is one of the best albums you'll ever hear.

[@chitownlee]

She and her husband wrote just about every other hit song in the 60's. She's a great piano player to o.

[@harryb7402]

Yes she wrote and as has been mentioned from the album Tapestry which at one time was the biggest-selling album in history

[@wendyt7958]

This was first released by the Shirelles in 1960 and was written by Gerry Goffin and Carol King

[@jenniferfoster1692]

She wrote songs that a wide variety of very successful artists had hits with...so many. Even The Beatles recorded a song written by her. Besides that, Tapestry is an iconic album, with hit after hit & record breaking sales. A true legend.

[@thomaswhiston7067]

she wrote songs for Motown , tons of Motown hits , until James Taylor talked her into singing her own hits, Tapestry her first album. #1 female album of all time

[@gregcable3250]

Carole wrote this (with Gerry Goffin--often collaborator)---backup singers on this: Joni Mitchell and James Taylor--not too shabby, right?

[@Greg-io1ip]

La and Chi are polite gentlemen. Open minded and purely for the musical tapestry. I felt a little sleepy but it was nice. Carol King's big tune kinda opens like rap, "I feel the Earth, move...under my feet..." Growing up I always thought it was Aretha. Doh! It's very Aretha like though, in defense of myself.

[@GGLee315]

We wore this record out back in the day. I would do ‘I feel the Earth move’ next.

[@jons.105]

For years, Carole King wrote hits songs for everyone else, but with "Tapestry" she reclaimed herself as an artist and gave her own voice to several songs made famous by other bands. It's among the biggest album sellers in history.

[@joelliebler5690]

One of the greatest songwriters in the history of pop/ rock music in history. Carole along with her then/ late husband wrote so many hit songs throughout the 1960’s for dozens of artist before releasing one of the all time great albums, Tapestry, as a breakout on her own.Natural Woman, Jazzman, and many others

[@TheoZoffrok]

My recommendation for the next Carole King song would be It's Too Late, which is pretty much a perfect pop song.

[@billhibbs2964]

Also James Taylor (Fire & Rain) on guitar and background vocals

[@se6550]

Anything she sings is beautiful. Good stuff guys.

[@KenBlair-jp5nz]

Carol King wrote and and co wrote 118 top 100 Billboard hits . Let that sink in to everyone .That is her playing piano .I bought this record when it came out and have never stopped listening to it

That entire album was a huge hit and it was very special to teenage girls like me in the 1970s.

Carole King wrote this. Check out the Shirelles hit from the 60s.

She wrote this for the 1960 release by The Shirelles. Ten years later she put it on her Tapestry LP. She was writing songs long before recorded her stuff.

[@coopm3087]

She has really good vocals and plays piano good too Ion a side note There's a band you may like called Cake 2 songs are Comfort eagle and Short skirt long jacket But there's lots of others too

[@mr.snicker-doodles7081]

Yep, She wrote it...Please to THE SHIREELS version.....ultra mega classic.

[@jfcardello]

She was a prolific writer 60’s-70’s. Nina Simone and Carol are my two favorite female piano playing singer/songwriters. Nina’s voice is ethereal, Carol’s soulful. Need to listen to Karen Carpenter, her voice is pretty perfect.

[@johnlillis1161]

oh no this is far from her biggest hit she has a lot of them and wrote over 200 songs for others that album right there every song on it is better then the next one give a listen to So Far Away or It's To Late or I Feel The Earth Move thanks

[@Xcris_crosX]

This is a song written by Gerry Goffin and co-writer and music composer Carole King. I think it was originally recorded in 1960 by girl group The Shirelles. Carole wrote a song for the Queen of Soul. PLEASE react to: "Aretha Franklin - (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman (Live at Kennedy Center Honors)"

Carole and her husband at the time wrote this song for Aretha who made this her signature song. This song is from the album “Tapestry” which spent 15 consecutive weeks at number 1. The song “ It’s Too Late” which is one of the most honest songs I have ever heard, also came from this album. Thank you gentlemen, thank you Carole, and RIP Aretha.

[@skarekrowe]

The story goes that a high school friend told her she'd never make it as a songwriter. That friend: Paul Simon.

[@cazgerald9471]

As for recommendations, you could start with "Tapestry" - it's a 14× Platinum selling album for a reason. The song was written by Carole (music) and her then husband Gerry Goffin (lyrics). They were a professional songwriting team. This song was originally recorded by the Shirelles in 1960 / 1961 timeframe. They wrote many many hit songs. "Tapestry" included Carole's interpretation of a few of those older songs, along with contemporary songs she wrote for the album. One such re-interpretation was "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" that Carole and Gerry wrote for Aretha Franklin.

[@j.j.upright4010]

RIP TO TINA TURNER! ❤️🧡💛💚💙

[@larryg7126]

I was born in the early 50s, many of the hits of artists were her songs. Goffin & King, Ashford & Simpson, Holland Dozier Holland, are some of the great songwriters of my youth. When bands started writing their own tunes, Carol started recording & performing her own songs. James Taylor was a good friend & fellow singer songwriter.

[@neillenet291]

Carol king didn't need to do any covers, she wrote the soundtrack of our lives.

[@benoitdesmarais2948]

Joni Mitchell on backing vocals (with James Taylor). You guys gotta try some Joni soon, especially her middle period (starting with Court & Spark) when she shared a lot of musicians with Steely Dan. She was/is a major inspiration for Led Zeppelin, Prince, James Blake and many others.

[@xJRx77]

Yes she did write this...AND.... that's James Taylor singing backup!

[@CuriousGeorge1111]

Yes, Carole King is the songwriter, and mostly wrote hits for other people, like Little Eva, her housekeeper, if memory serves. Nice as her voice is, she's known more for her singer-songwriter chops--hearing the song performed by its composer. And for writing classic records--she wrote many hits for sixties bands, including The Monkees, and various Motown acts. Come to think of it, this song sounds like a slowed down Motown hit. That's James Taylor, playing guitar and singing harmony, another fantastic artist. She has other hits--I Feel The Earth Move is one. Thanks for exploring other classic 70s artists. Please keep it up. Peace.

[@randomtruths3400]

Little Eva worked as a babysitter for Goffin and King.

[@meldonbrindley7093]

Yes Carole KIng wrote this and it was a hit for someone else. She has written a slew of hits and Tapestry was a monster album. She is a giant.

[@rickclark8657]

1960 The Shirelles did this

[@Sammylu-greenbeatsred]

I forgot that James Taylor was singing back up on this song. I read Joni Mitchell was the other back up singer. I guess I forgot all about this song. I remember the original early version by the Shirelles, 1960, written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin.

[@j.j.upright4010]

🎤🥁 The best version of this song hands down is done by "DAVE MASON" from his album Titled "MARIPOSA DE ORO" which means in English "Butterfly Of Gold". . He also provides a blistering Guitar Solo! 🎸🎵

You guys need to listen to "Poetry Man" by Phoebe Snow. Similar feel, but with that special touch that's purely Phoebe's.

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

Yo, SMACKWATER JACK.

[@johnfrank3177]

Hey fellas. Yeah, Carole wrote this one but it was a big hit for The Shirelles. That's probably the version you heard before this one. Back in the day when you would visit with friends, it was common to thumb through their album collection while you were hanging out, and just about everyone had the Carole King "Tapestry" album in their collection. Peace.

[@bofusnco]

And, that is James Taylor singing background. They did a beautiful job of this in 2010 on their Troubadour Tour

One of the best-selling records of all time. It has sold over 25 million copies worldwide. This song and I Feel The Earth Move spent 5 weeks at#1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The Rolling Stone ranked this album at #25 on thier list of 500 greatest albums of all time. Tapestry held a record for spending the most weeks, 15, at#1 by a female artist..... the record stood for 20 years. The album remained a best seller for more than 300 weeks. My favorite song from this record is So Far Away. There just something about her voice, it's vulnerable and innocent and it seems to cradle you into comfort. Just a great work. Thanks for reacting.

[@genecase9464]

"It's Too Late" is one of the most perfect songs ever written. Music, lyrics, voice, emotion. Just perfect. Want a perfect live performance? "Silver Springs" by Fleetwood Mac off "The Dance" live concert dvd from 1997. You're not done untill you have done those two...plus about 1000 more! Good thing you guys are young. It's taken me 60+ years to hear all these great songs! Enjoy the journey!

Bros this is one of the greatest albums ever compiled by a female singer/songwriter. She was a prolific songwriter for many years,selling her songs to many of the days great singers. She wrote Aretha Franklins smash hit, Natural Woman. Carole King worked out of the world famous Brill building in NYC! She was a staff writer starting in 1958. Her and her husband wrote many smash hits together! Look for Goffin/King ,you will be amazed at how prolific she is. King has about 120 songs in the billboard top 100 throughout her career!!! Tapestry was her first album with her singing her songs. It won her 4 grammys and sold 25 million copies!!! Tapestry is one of those albums that every serious record collector has in his collection along with Dark Side of the Moon,Frampton Comes Alive,Abbey Road, Whats Going on,Hotel California ,Rumors ,Saturday Night Fever, Thriller and Led Zep 4! Its that great and that iconic. No filler,all hits. Just press play and you dont have to get out of your seat for 45 mins!! A homerun for sure. Make that a Grand Slam!
