Carole King's album #Tapestry is 50 years old.

enter image description here

James Taylor, Roberta Flack, Tori Amos, Joan Armatrading, Rufus Wainwright and more give their thoughts on the 70s masterpiece.

James Taylor: She started writing by herself, about herself – that is to say, from her own life. It came out of her so strong, so fierce and fresh. So clearly in her own voice. And yet, so immediately accessible, so familiar: you knew these songs already.

Roberta Flack: My friend and fellow Aquarian Carole King has shaped our musical landscape with the songs that she wrote that touch each of us in such deeply personal ways.

Tori Amos: In 1971, a cool teenage babysitter put the new album Tapestry on the stereo, and, at seven years old, my mind was blown. It was almost as if Mother Earth herself was singing to us. There was a clarity to the storytelling, whether the songs had us dancing with them or haunting us as we sat cross-legged on the worn Methodist rug. And after we had laughed and cried during the playing of the album, we were both very sure that in Carole King we had both found a new friend for life.

You've Got a Friend

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHV3I5Q2MX0



»When you're down in troubles

And you need some love and care

And nothing, nothing is going right

Close your eyes and think of me

And soon i will be there

To brighten up even your darkest night

You just call out my name

And you know wherever I am

I'll come running to see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you got to do is call

And I'll be there

Yes I will

You've got a friend

If the sky above you

Grows dark and full of clouds

And that old north wind begins to blow

Keep your head together

And call my name out loud

Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

You just call out my name

And you know wherever I am

I'll come running to see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you have to do is call

And I'll be there

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend

When people can be so cold

They'll hurt you and desert you

And take your soul if you let them

Oh, but don't you let them

You just call out my name

And you know wherever I am

I'll come running to see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you have to do is call

And I'll be there

You've got a friend«

[Album: Tapestry,1971]
