Carole King-Tapestry

Those were the days when singers were also their own songwriter. And with good lyrics and not the lame-o ones that Britney Spears and JLo do to pass off as songwriters. If you do not know who Carole King is, you might have heard her music for her songs are resung by many artistes...shows to prove that her influence has left an imprint in the music industry. Listen to Tapestry Revisited- A Tribute to Carole King
1) I Feel The Earth Move-resung by many many artistes, e.g. Martika
2) So Far Away- Rod Stewart's version is just as good really.
3) It's Too Late- one of my faves because of the light sounds and breezy voice she has. Amy Grant's version is ok..but still prefer carole's voice
4) You've Got A Friend- Aretha Franklin gave the song more soul and depth
5) You Make Me Feel (Like A Natural Woman)- Celine Dione's version is just a little too over the top for me and opera-like.
6) Smackwater Jack-The Manhattan Transfer's version is a fun rendition...
