Yes, she was very prolific, like Neil Sedaka, David Gates, and Mac Davis.

Tapestry has to be in the Top 10 albums of all time. I would put it in the top 2 or 3 myself. Great music.

My favorite Carole King song is
Going Wild, which she performed herself.

All politics aside, the fairly recent DVD of James Taylor and Carole King’s concert at the old Troubadour club in L.A. is just terrific.

I knew about “You’ve Got a Friend”, but the others all came as a surprise.

The first time I heard a Carole king song was by a cover band in Florida at Disney. They did such a great job I just knew I had to hear more by the original artist. Amazing singer/ songwriter.

Lou Adler is the guy who sits next to Jack Nicholson at some Lakers’ game. He directed the music-related movie “Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains” with a young Diane Lane playing a punk rocker.

That was a great album...

Carole was/is great. I think I was most surprised to realize she’d written “Don’t Bring Me Down” by the Animals. It’s just such a unique tune with a killer organ and doesn’t sound like anything else she’s done.

“Chains” by the Beatles — 1963 The song was originally recorded (but not released) by the Everly Brothers.
Chains was originally a hit for the Cookies, a girl group not to be confused with another group called the Cookies who recorded King of Hearts in 1957.

Gerry Goffin had a way of putting words to feelings many had trouble expressing, but could relate to as soon as they heard their songs. RIP.

Chains musically and thematically reminds me of You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me. They both seem to have been written around 1962 so I don’t know which was first or if there was any “borrowing” or it’s just my ahem imagination.
