Sitting here in self-isolation during the Covid 19 Pandemic, I think about all these talents that I am blessed to just 'click' on. For two days I have drifted through so many incredibly talented songwriters. Most of them seem to have been born around 1950, almost 10 years before me. They were given the magic and inspiration of poetry and music that came directly from their hearts and souls. A very special breed. So, when I came of radio age, there they were, as young adults making this music during a time in radio where all music came together on one or two AM stations. (1050 CHUM...TORONTO). Me, walking to school in September with the 3" by 3" transistor radio, not knowing that 50 years later I would be hanging onto their every word, every note. I wonder if one or more of you that is sitting in self-enforced isolation (because we are now the old people that this virus could kill) wishing that we were all in a big room listening and singing along together. I'm going to pretend you are with me tonight, and in the days to come. We are all in a park full of green in June, the sun is shining off the nearby water. "Our" music is playing, and we are singing along because we know every word. Sitting on a blanket, or standing alone, or dancing with a friend. Or maybe just holding your hand over your heart because it is almost TOO good. We are ALL so blessed to grow up when we did. See you in the park someday.

[@rlgee]

Thank you for your kind words. I'm right there with you, sister. :)

[@nanoo7813]

You have a friend here! We were blessed to grow up when we did. Stay safe & see you in that park.

[@jadonly1]

You have brought water to this man's eyes way to early in the morning. it is amazing how music binds us in an almost genetic way, deeper than that - spiritual. I fist heard "You've Got A Friend" sung by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway. Whether you find one version preferred above another, Carole King's poetry, along with so many others born in the 50's and early 60's, bind our spiritual cores in a harmony which only music manages to achieve, thanks again.

[@cletusbeaudin4171]

Beautifully written...it is too bad that there are millions of people in the world that will never hear this music....

There's a more accurate test though. He looks awful, and it's taking him at least an hour to eat now. I'm not sure what to do and if it's his kidneys, pancreatitis again, or something else. He did have an ultrasound done by his vet. It was normal. They managed to infect one nipple though prepping him for it. And he licks it longer with his rough tongue, so even neosporin stopped working.

You've got a friend from me too. Thank you, for such a wonderful song, Carole King. I love the gathering in your living room with friends.

[@mozartlova]

i don't think that's exactly what's meant by "Welcome To My Living Room" Richard.

[@sandyfoist8864]

Carol, I first heard you at about 14 years old. This song means so very much to me, because I’ve always needed a friend. Your music has gotten me through so very much. Not only as a teen, but also well into my now adult ness. You have spoken to me as a young girl, and now as a adult. THANK YOU, SO VERY MUCH! You ave made so very many people happy.! God Bless you, I love you! 💗

Carole is my favorite musician of all time. Love this version of her! Did you ever attend any of her concert?

[@williamreynolds8177]

Good music just never goes out of date. At 75 I enjoy this song just as much as I did the first time I heard it. A phenomenal woman!

Listening to this beautiful song and reminiscing those years i had been through with my old friends ; some had been called up to heaven and some are still walking happily on earth. Feel blessed to be alive after gone through all the ups and downs, where friends are still around me. God bless you my friends.

Desde Asunción Paraguay, excelente música me hace recordar de mi adolescencia en los años 1970, excelente interpretación, mis felicitaciones al grupo y en especial a la Señora autora de la letra y música.

[@kristineberryessa3457]

I grew up listening to Carole King and the lake in the late 60s and 70s. I love this music so much! Brings me back to the good all days when rock ‘n’ roll was so beautiful and innocent.

[@albericocamara9631]

Maravilhosa. Ela e a musica

[@doritraz]

So did I, it was such an amazing time to be alive with its ups and downs as we were all discovering ourselves. Look at humanity now!!! I'm so glad we have this spark of love inside from those years, that spark will never die and perhaps it will be the light that ignites the love and unity that humanity needs to move forward. Much love to all. From a Canadian living in Israel 💙🌟💙

[@pamelafryer]

Me too!! I ‘m 68. Still mostly listen to music from back then.

[@jorgehromeror5321]

Some people is asking who are the musicians accompanying her in this song. So, I made the homework and visited the site #CaroleKing #YouveGotAFriend #WelcomeToMyLivingRoom and found they are: the one with the hat is Rudy Guess, her guitarist, musical director and producer. The other artist is Gary Burr, a Nashville-based award-winning songwriter. "Gary is a gifted singer and guitarist who combines the sensibility of the working man with that of a poet," said Carol about him. Regards from León, Gto.. México.

[@ljkoch]

Thank you!

[@Zebradeen]

Erm....the guy in the hat is James Taylor.

[@Zebradeen]

OH! Apologies! No it isn't! Spitting image though!

[@animerlon]

Thanks muchly for taking the time & effort, :-).

I'm listening to Carole King right now, it's a tough song to get through when you're going through some bad times.

There are tough times for everyone. Blessed are the troubled who have just one good friend. One of my all time top 10 songs. Carol and James Taylor among the best ever.

Such a amazing woman with such amazing talent... Still a class act in the world of music... Just love this version ..

[@gachasarah7384]

Absolutely, she is indeed a legend, an all-encompassing talent in the realm of music. Singers of yesteryears had this captivating aura, their melodies could seize your soul. Their songs were more than just music, they were like beautifully woven tales, each with an unexpected twist that you could deeply resonate with.

[@mikerubin22]

such gentle souls singing such a timeless masterpiece...Carole King is one of the most underrated female performers of our time, along with Karen Carpenter💙💚💜🤎🖤

[@rumpledskin7971]

Two-time inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; Four Grammy Awards; inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, one of the most successful songwriters of all time with the likes of Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion paying tributes to her; her songs have been covered by the Bee Gees, Roberta Flack and, yes, the Carpenters (who you mention), the first woman to be honored with the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize --- the list goes on. So, what exactly do you mean by "underrated"?

[@alifmuhammadchicago]

@@rumpledskin7971 I guess she's arguably underrated among female artists in a nostalgic sense. Compared to people looking back at Karen Carpenter, Janice Joplin, etc. But, then again, not really, because I have no idea how the average crowd of the 70s would rank them. Ida know.

[@rumpledskin7971]

@@alifmuhammadchicago Nostalgic sense = Memory Lane = Cool. However, just because Karen Carpenter, Janis Joplin, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Etta James, Eva Cassidy or Carole King, are not the flavor of 2021, it does not mean they are "underrated". Young folks today are into Taylor Swift, Justin what's-his-name and all because time has moved on, tastes are different. I still listen to The Carpenters, Carole King, Tina Turner and the others mentioned, and the genres/sub-genres of blues, soul, flamenco, folk, rock and jazz but (like I said), these are not the flavor of 2021. Even The Beatles are more or less passé and musicians like The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and Buddy Guy are just hanging on (by adapting to the demands of the market today). You, Mr. Alif Muhammad or Mr. Mike Rubin or I cannot change that. Maybe Simon Cowell can! :--)))
