Carole King - Been To Canaan

[@laotse_]

My favorite Carol King song. What a treat finding this live performance played so marvelously.

[@rftulie]

Mine too ! I grew up with Carole’s music.

[@lauradyoung1]

One of the best singer/songwriters of all time. A once in a lifetime talent. We still love you, Carole!

[@rayostergard3386]

Hi Laura hope you’re okay?

[@actorman1857]

"But with our day to day demands, we all need a promised land." What a sublime lyric, still completely accurate, and set to beautiful music. An American Genius.

[@copernicus633]

Such wistful longing, so beautifully rendered. It cradles my soul. We all have our own Caanan, the peaceful quiet place at the center of our being, to which we want to return.

[@davidcyphers3993]

Beautifuul said. I had not thought of the song in such personal terms. Thank You.

[@davidcyphers3993]

I had a front row seat when she played this in 1973, SF Civic. Goosebumps.

[@myroseaccount]

My young daugher couldn't sleep and so we listened to this on UTUBE. Her nightmare evaporated into sweet smiles and laughter as she gently settled down to sleep. A special moment for us due to a very special song performed by an artist who cannot be rated highly enough. Thanks for posting this quite splendid acoustic version.

[@DROly1]

myroseaccount BEAUTIFUL!!!.. that’s because Gods Spirit is in that song!..

[@jstraw4]

I can't explain the warm feeling that washes over me when I hear Carole King sing this song. Sweet.

[@sej6789]

I know exactly what you mean.

[@corbra048]

Wow, where we ever so young ?

[@hippymo52]

Still one of the most thought provoking songs, making you think of the happiest memories in your life.

[@msthing57nc]

One of the most beautiful tunes ever written. My favorite of Carole's songs, and she wrote some great ones. Only Love is Real is right up there too.

[@davidcyphers3993]

Only Love Is Real....a visionary lyric.

[@elizabethgeoghegan5167]

Have to revisit this song every once in awhile. It restores my soul.

[@vinniebozzuto3534]

Oh, those Green Fields and Rolling Hills of Canaan Connecticut. Life-long Connecticut resident from Litchfield and New Haven Counties. Waterbury and Watertown. Not too far from there...I must of played this tune on the radio a hundred times..

[@n40tom]

I have been to Waterbury Connecticut and I thought it was a total crap kind of town . If I grew up there my best memory would have been moving out of the area

[@joes7885]

I've watched this video maybe 50 or 60 times. Great song. Awesome stage presence. She looks so peaceful. Very pretty lady. Great writer.

[@peterdurkin1499]

Songwriters are the best pianist

[@goodoldvideos]

Dear Mrs. Carole King, you have made the world so much more beautiful with all of your music in it. Thank you very much.

[@gilbertconner6478]

I just become a better person.omg what a talented artist.glad we still have her. she is 75. and hope she stays forever.

[@MegaCoddfish]

I used to think ZZ Topp simply kicked ass as a 3 man band and I still do. The truth is Carole is THE BOMB with just her baby grand!

[@jerrymammoser1509]

Randy Codd ...That there’s a grand piano. Yep. Just listen to the thing. Oh yeah.

[@PamelaRP]

Love this song and makes me cry every time I hear it. My cat likes me to sing this to her. She loves you to. Love ya Carol.

[@rayostergard3386]

Hi Pamela hope you’re okay?

[@christheother9088]

Damn the power in that voice and her piano is amazing.

[@elizabethgeoghegan5167]

This is one of my favorite videos on YT and I come back to watch and listen at least once a year. ❤

[@fosbury68]

No kidding. So clear and compelling.

[@aflatminor]

Jeez, Carole still has the silky smooth voice that i recall from my teens back in the 70's... Go Girl!!! John..

[@egeo03]

Came here to watch again after her performance tonight. ❤️

[@cherylmills6556]

I love the tape over and over

[@johnvandehey7002]

Carole: I have this grand illusion that your're actually reading me. You are the female Bacharach. Top of the Class. Untouchable in sound and creativity. More than wonderful you are. Love you Carole. You are the 60s and on to me and a generation like me. Greatest music. Greatest people. A generation never again.

[@deborahscalise3215]

I agree!

[@teresadressel869]

well if the beatles recorded her (chains) I guess that says it all. yes john you pretty much said it all.

[@teresadressel869]

JOHN YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE. WOW--TO ACTUALLY VIEW HER CATALOG OF SONGS-SHE EVEN WROTE A SONG THE BEATLES RECORDED(CHAINS) I THINK THE OLDER SHE GETS-BETTER.

[@jessicatrentwood832]

Seriously the 60s was the best generation. Everyone was so nice and peaceful, even the music reflected that.

[@joeyconvery2055]

John Vandehey 👍

[@geniusmchaggis]

makes me want to go back to canaan too. a place we imagine. a place of perfection and sweetness. a past that was. a past that wasnt. . a present. a future. heaven.

[@rooshkin1]

She is just so amazing. She is such a great writer so many record her music like James Taylor and so many others; but when she performs her own work it is beyond magic.

[@JohnHH59]

Best performance of her best song! Truly outstanding.

[@jamesevans7440]

this is the true classic that defines the lost of innonces. a timeless classic. wolfen

[@rmontoya90066]

Her music is timeless! Soulful, "storyteller" she takes you on a journey to different places in time! Carole, thank you for always touching our Souls!🎶🎹🎶🎹🎶🎹

[@mertongerrish7958]

what beautiful music

[@kac56]

She's a national treasure, very underrated...

[@carlosgnavarro]

No words to describe her magic, inspiration and heart

[@riannon727]

I was looking for this....it was edited out of the video for this concert....Carole king live. Such a special and incredible song. Have to get to Canaan Connecticut one day soon

[@jerrymammoser1509]

[@mjbr1010]

Amazing and so beautiful brings tears to my eyes.

[@SPARKSHAGG]

[@francismarclim351]

Me 3 🙂

[@doogboy]

WOW!

[@motorcityquig]

"I want to be there in winter time, with fire place burning before me, and you to hold me when its stormy". Dear Geri, the line always reminded me of the winter week we spent in Traverse City. Yes, I held you tight by the fire many times while I felt your soul. Some of the few perfect moments in my life.

[@richardknox2050]

Beautiful! Amazing voice! Carole you are CLASS! Yes, and so much more!

[@Mgarguemare]

I think this is my favorite song out of the 100s that she has.

[@jime6353]

I can remember as a kid when this song was playing in the background when I was helping prepare for the opening of the library in Laurel Bay SC. I was in 5the grade, and I cannot remember hearing something so beautiful. Thank you Miss King. You are a treasure.

[@janabell3810]

Love her so much!

[@rayostergard3386]

Hi Jan hope you’re okay?

[@marlenetrimnal4368]

(Carole king ) play's so beautiful she's outstanding Talented love this lady's voice!..

[@screenwitch]

Utterly amazing song. Sounds even more touching solo like this. Astonishing talent here.

[@RaptorGN07]

This is absolutely beautiful even without her back up chorus!! Excellence!!

[@not2tees]

It is because I"m old - I hope - that most or nearly all of the 2015 hits seem empty, compared to just about anything Carol King wrote.

[@William-Hurwitz]

don't worry, I'm 22 and I'm right there with you...Carole had/has a talent that few in the mainstream now have

[@katiemccollough6996]

That's no kidding!

[@raymondfaron85]

Yes, it seems joy in in short supply these days. I am old too and I remember the joy of the era when Carole King recorded Tapestry.

[@geniusmchaggis]

she IS in heaven as she sings this precious song. you can see it in her face.

[@jamesgrinder2491]

This song and so may others from this era take me back to my teen years, taping on my cassette recorder all I possibly could while listening to Top 40 AM radio stations.

[@Kiny28]

She writes the best songs!

[@sfgrunt]

some talents are about technical displays of vocal fireworks and others are about finding a path to your heart. this speaks to going home, the home where can drop your guard and be who you are.

[@martysomoco]

Reminds me of a trip from Cherry Hill to Stockholm, NJ. Carole captures the essence of connection. I remember and, I love you, Holly.

[@miriamcjackson706]

The most perfect song

[@gilbertconner6478]

you know it's a 1 -2 punch when you can't stop listening to it or stop from crying.thanks Carol.

[@christinecameron8417]

You are magic!

[@pips5678]

One of my all time favorite Carol King songs. Thank you for the post.

Perhaps the best... I think so.

[@pamelapugh8846]

Great song that gives me tears. I love you Carole.

[@jstraw4]

This IS one gorgeous tune. Just made me weep.

[@marykrueger6039]

What a pure talent and legend. That's how it is done folks. A beautiful voice and a grand piano. That's what the world needs more of.

[@rascal211]

She was so good here because she felt it and sang it with heart. Being in Hartford she was not far from Canaan here.

[@davebyers16066]

I come back to this song at least once a week. So tearful
