The Untold Truth Of Carole King

[@GrungeHQ]

What's your favorite Carole King song?

[@AGDinCA]

_I Feel the Earth Move_ is my favorite Carol King song!

[@BleedBNG]

Pleasant Valley Sunday. I liked her more as a songwriter than a performer.

[@memorypaigeee8828]

Too late

Too many

[@bluemonday7054]

I’ve listened to the Tapestry album probably a thousand times through the years and I still love it! ♥️

[@pennystonecypher5242]

It’s my house cleaning album, cutting grass too and more.

[@JANICEFALKNER-d2l]

That’s so awesome that her Mom & Grandma could teach her music. It shows that she’s gifted. Some can just sing for instance. Some think they are but can’t carry a tune in a bucket. I Love All Of Her Music!!!

[@Buendicho]

Carole King was super gifted, we all listened to her in the 70’s, I still do

[@jadedmonk7001]

I've burned through 2 copies of Tapestry since it was released when I was 14. Closing in on 63 yrs old and it still remains in my top 20 all time favorite albums

[@rafanifischer3152]

"It's Too Late", my favorite Carole King song.

[@Appleholic1]

Carole King is such a stupendous GIANT in the early days of pop rock n roll. Just an icon of mammoth proportion. Carole King is still alive and needs to be recognized for the enormous contribution she made to music while she is still among us.

[@pedenmk]

I grew up in the 60s and 70s graduated and off to the marine corps. The best decade of music in my opinion was the 70s. I wish I could go back to the 70s and im sure many feel the same. Great Video THANKS YOU.

[@nolan1640]

Yes, a great time for music. But I don’t want to go back. The Vietnam War, changing mores, the pill, mind expanding drugs, recession as the post WW2 boom started to slow down and domestic production started to move overseas, women’s empowerment just blossoming in a real way in the face of incredible misogyny. It was a very confusing, yet hopeful time which we got through, but I don’t want to relive it.

[@Kathleennebel]

Amen!! I grew up in 70’s and still listen to this day especially Carole king ❤

[@marypiver4040]

Growing up back then was the best❤😊!!!

[@MikeKelsoJr]

I’m a big fan !! As a singer songwriter myself I really appreciate her massive talent !! 👍😊🎤🎹

[@lauraweaver2525]

I just meet Carole at an airport yesterday and she is such a warm, kind sole.

[@AGDinCA]

_I Feel the Earth Move_ still gets me fired up. Such an awesome track!

[@marietta5316]

Tapestry - The soundtrack of my life. Favorite? You've got a Friend.

[@gregakinson2800]

I loved her music when it came out and then later it becomes even sweeter as a glimpse into our cherished past.

[@johnzeszut3170]

Cute little vixen when young. Great to hear that she is plugging for the environment. Need more like her.

[@djquinn11]

She’s great, I’ve always loved her music.

[@therocknrollgamer9572]

Carole King will, and always be a legend. I love her as a songwriter for eternity

[@kenlen8029]

Carole has a really amazing voice. She seems like a really cool person.

[@lenseofclarity9997]

Gotta rate this ajaccio amazing woman alongside otis reading, marvin gaye and Aretha Franklin, Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash. Simply perfect. XX

[@sillyahhballman]

“So Far Away” one of my all-time favorite songs. So is “It’s Too Late”. Wish I could have seen that Broadway show.

[@kevdonew1412]

She has had a wonderful career, I'm 57 and her music could even make me sing !

[@frankwhite1983]

What a great person Carole King is!! Too late is beautiful!

[@leokimvideo]

Carole King was gifted music in the same massive way Prince was. Carole King had a knack at producing timeless music.

This should have a million likes!!!

[@musicoldies83]

I grew up listening to Carole's music on AM radio and while I don't care at all for her politics, I love Carole as a singer/songwriter and being a very beautiful human being towards others. It upset me learning about how she stayed 3 years with that sick moron who physically abused her.

I always love her. And her music.

[@kenfolstad1346]

She’s amazing!!!!!!!!!

[@MrGiorgioud]

She really belongs to another era seemingly gone forever: a time when wildly commercially successful music could touch the inner workings of your soul and give an immense contribution to your growth as a human being. Where is it all gone?

[@jean-paulbovee4010]

Carole King, between her writing and singing, is one of the best musical performers in the last 60 years.

[@terrancekayton007]

I just heard of her after watching Aretha Franklins performance in front of her and President Obama 🤩 tonight’s been like 🤯 old skool music injection §§ just what I needed

[@levistubbs8949]

A truly wonderful artist, and an equally wonderful person !

[@wissenschaftenundpraxishan1952]

Yes, I think she is highly sensitive.

[@gordoncheyne5567]

Such a talented and intelligent woman. My 1970 Tapestry album was played so much, you can almost see through it.

[@susanbraender]

Still love it❤❤

[@jamespeyton7312]

Writer came seven years or so after The Drifters recorded "Up on the Roof." Also, King rarely says anything about Sedaka, and others have said his claim that they "dated" may be more than it was. Either way, King has been a wonderful part of American popular music.

[@evilzzzability]

Tapestry is obviously my favourite work of hers, but it's impossible to pick out a favourite track - true to it's theme and name, each track is part of a beautiful mosaic, only complete and whole with the other pieces in place.

[@Jenny_bell_key]

Tapestry changed my life.

[@jackfitzpatrick8173]

Will You Love Me Tomorrow...Carole King,like Dylan,is known to me more as a song writer than a performer.

[@lurx2024]

The idea that women like Carole King or Janis Ian didn't believe they were beautiful blows my mind. I've always been drawn to the understated appeal of unconventional beauty that exists all around us and Carole King was a knockout in my eyes.

[@sleighdust]

HAPPY BEAUTIFUL BIRTHDAY CAROL IT’S MY BIRTHDAY TOO❤🎉🎉❤

[@abchappell01]

Beautiful presentation!

[@PhinAI]

Thank you for the great information. She's a cool personality. I'm a little saddened that so many wonderful people are liberal, which in itself isn't bad, at all; but the way of the Left seems to pave the way quite nicely for those who want to usurp total control of everything and everybody. Unbridled freedom is abusive, but so is unaccountable control. I like having the freedom to strive toward personal freedom that respects the freedoms of others to experience their best existence. I'm grateful to Ms. King for brightening my world in her uniquely special way.

[@kevinhealey6540]

There was no mention of this. What happened was, her parents were the right stuff and made her that way. Her mother had played the piano and started teacher her at age four. But again her mother and father have the full credit for giving her a positive spirit. They encouraged her and made her indomitable. It's not well known that she wrote some of the songs for the TV show "The Monkees." There's a picture of her and her mother together when she was a teen. Her and her mother have the same exact expression. That was not planned. She's 82 year old and still performing to sell out audiences.

[@m.f.richardson1602]

Thank you

[@charlesdavis7461]

I love Carole King, but she lived in a cabin surrounded by mountains, they call them hollows, but she spoke against building near the rocky mountains which included the hollows. But I still love her music, most laws and regulations are not meant for those with the big money. I know she meant well.

[@michaelsiderius7020]

I think that one of Carole's best works is SIMPLE THINGS was over looked

[@libertyjustice2703]

I like Carol Kings music, but, I reaaaly wish musicians and athletes would stay out of politics. Unfortunately for them, they get such a big head they forget that a huge amount of their paying audience don't agree with their politics. Linda Ronstadt found out in Las Vegas when she started talking about her radical liberal views during a concert no less. It pissed everyone off so much that they ripped her concert billboards up and stormed out. These are singers and songwriters. They should stick to that and avoid pissing off half their fan base.

[@DavidDudley-yy2ui]

@@libertyjustice2703 truth and opinions are not the same thing. what did she say that upset people?

[@libertyjustice2703]

@@DavidDudley-yy2ui She started a political binge about supporting Michael Moore who was the biggest hypocrite in the world because he made millions of dollars from capitalism all the while, like her preaching socialism. She basically got booed off the stage and the casino said they would never ask her back. It's a mute point now because she's no longer here. I liked her music but she like too many musicians and entertainers all think they need to tell the world how it should turn. They only hurt themselves when they piss off half their audience.

[@DavidDudley-yy2ui]

@@libertyjustice2703 right i gotcha . I don't really have a problem with anyone stating their opinion but there is a time and place for it. and if someone does run the mouth, they gotta accept the consequence. Carol King should notice that many in her audience are not liberal, I saw Rick Derringer here in Hawaii the audience appreciated his show but he did his flagwaving bit, and Hawaiians ain't all that down with it. Nothing ugly but there was a quiet moment.

[@taccamine8312]

One has to wonder. If Carol King felt that she could not compete in beauty with her peers? How did they appear? She is like the very definition of beauty

[@alextirrellRI]

A couple corrections: "Gerry" is pronounced as "Jerry" The Drifters did not cover 'Up on the Roof' per se. Carole and Jerry wrote it for them when they were writing at 1650 Broadway.

[@nothing-b2n]

Yes

[@alderberryblue6053]

Gerry Goffin isn't given enough attention or credit in this narrative for Carole's early work, which is a shame.

[@RJLKMRD]

[@christopherjudge1138]

I've seen King's story on Broadway with Mom and Dad! What if Carole followed her overbearing jewish mother's advice, and teach music, instead of writing and producing it at 1650 Broadway with Gerry Goffin and competing with friends Mann & Weil?

"Tapestry" was a landmark album (I'm sure my mom had about 6-8 copies of it)....... then she had to ruin it with her radical lefty activism and changed lyrics to wymynize them. I'll tell you what..... as concerned as she pretends to be about "climate change", I bet she didn't bicycle to those Idaho mountains. I wish musicians would stick with music and keep their snouts out of politics...... she's been pushing a bill for decades and still hasn't passed it.

@@evanhughes1510 So because you don't like to hear the truth, I'm a liar. LOL Of course she's like that in interviews--the camera is on. In her case, the real person is not the same as what the public sees. You are supposed to be fooled and obviously, you are.
