Carole King - Jazzman

[Lugh314]

It's sad that more people know this music from The Simpsons than from it just being good music, but hey, if it got 'the kids' to download the real thing from iTunes instead of the latest bubblegum then...

R.I.P. Bleeding Gums Murphy.

[frank47hammer]

Tapestry was a great album but Jazzman wasn't on it

[amarolucano83]

bellissima canzone w il jazz

[2011lamb]

Wow childhood memories!

[Zardoz70062]

ok... I thought this alumb was released in 1970. the point being it's a classic.

[2011lamb]

I tought the name of the song was Jasmine.

[patrickglowery]

That's not really fair. I was brought here by the Simpsons episode as a child, and that really inspired me to get into music. I love Carole King and I love the Simpsons.. I wouldn't have it any other way. Can't we all just appreciate how great Carole King is and how moving this song is for everyone, young and old, rather than establishing a false sense of superiority based on who has heard it first?

[americaneagle2076]

This is my FAVORITE Carole King Song. It's Unique and just has that indescribable quality that sets it apart from everything else.

[Zardoz70062]

over 40 years old.... and still classic!

[yendor1152]

It's not 40 years old! The song was released in the fall of 1974.

[TheKhaibear]

This album has added so much to my life.

[FirewolfSaviour]

If you believe that it matters where someone found / heard this song the first time, You don't belong here. Because regardless of the source they found initially, they're here listening to it now. They, not you, are the true 'fans' of this song. Sorry to burst your egotistical bubble.

[rixtube77]

This song needs a love button instead of a like, thumbs WAY up! To me she is plainly one of the best female artisis of our time, maybe the best.

[TheMustangsally75]

Oh so sad to say, but the days of the Singer/Song-writer are so few and far between these days. Name me one song thay Beyonce actually wrote herself! Sorry Carole to use your name & hers in the same comment!

[MirandaPandaLikes]

Lisa Simpson sings it better ;)

[TheMustangsally75]

If you were brought here by the Simpsons', you don't deserve to be here!

Let's get a few thumbs-up!!!

[jg2904]

@RiggCaptainAE29 I take it from this comment that you haven't actually seen the Simpsons episode in question, which was a loving homage to jazz culture and to this song.

[TheSouthern4501]

Thumbs up if you weren't brought here by the simpsons

[TheMustangsally75]

This is a perfect example of the difference between todays commercial CRAP that's on the radio that the singers didn't even write themselves!!!! The Singer/Song-writer is sadly a thing of the past. I am so gled I was born when i was. This kind of music is the sound-track of my life!!!

[triforceman12]

@TheMustangsally75 Singer/Song-writer won't die on my watch.

I need to find a watch first, though.

[TheMustangsally75]

@triforceman12

I will help you LOOK!!!

[triforceman12]

@TheMustangsally75 *cracks knuckles*

Let's do this.

[henrymoonfortune]

One of the best songs of the 70s.

[cxcsmom]

I can't think of a Carole King song that I don't like!

[thevealchop68]

@cxcsmom yeah, great music, but what has she written in the past forty years? Its a small minority of singer/songwriters that are lucky enough to earn an income off the same album for forty years.

[jpeyton62]

@thevealchop68 She has release many albums after the Ode years, the early to mid 70s, but many like Touch the Sky were far less commercial oriented. Also, she has written scores or songs for movies like Murphy's Romance, A League of Their Own, performed on Broadway, given time for politics. Regardless, her work as a songwriter in the 60s and performer afterwards doesn't need our approval.

[jpeyton62]

@jpeyton62 has released

[thejazzman210]

Needless to say, this song inspired my name. I could play this song on my piano in my sleep. Love it.

[scuoppolo]

Carole, sei meravigliosa.

[rclemente21]

I think for a lot of people who know this song from their childhood or youth it takes you back to a better time, you can recollect a few times things that happened, maybe taking a ride with your family to the bowling alley or listening at home in the summer trying to stay cool w/ the windows open and a water cooler blowing, hah hah.

[carrier3232]

gives me goose bumps every time I hear this gem! great vocals n sax, of course!

[dyerful]

remember when music was beautifully produced?

[SeattleLA]

@dyerful yes

[TheMustangsally75]

Still have it on vinyl, scrathes & all!!!

[philenator1]

You don't need knowledge of music to like it...

[TheRAVENBLU]

WHOEVER LIKES LISA'S VERSION OF JAZZMAN MUST BE IGNORANT KIDS,OR HAVE MIDGIT MINDS AND DON'T HAVE ANY REAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT REAL MUSIC.

[carrier3232]

@TheRAVENBLU victims of todays cartoon pseudo-reality. mush minds!

[VaultMasterDBT]

Jesus, don't you think that's kind of harsh? There's no need to yell, either.

[FylthyBeest]

Did anyone else notice the picture is of the Tapestry album but the song Jazzman is from the Wrap Around Joy album? No big deal. Just thought I'd throw that fact out there.

[KJW160]

@FylthyBeest I was just thinking that. Good eye bud. :)

[coglievina]

Ragazzi che pezzo avevo 18 anni ed ero in America a Norfolk Virginia saluto Nancy Mc.Bride

ciao che avventura.

Italo C - Treviso Italy_

[TheRAVENBLU]

@loveanimelike123 U MUST B VERY YOUNG AS WELL AS VERY NAIVE IF U HAVE TO COMPARE A CARTOON CHARACTER TO A REAL MUSICAL ARTIST !!! AND U HAVE A LONG WAYS TO GAIN KNOWLEDGE ABOUT REAL MUSIC. TIP>>>TAKE A MUSIC APPRECIATION CLASS!!! IT JUST MIGHT HELP U OUT!

[LeofishStudios]

@TheRAVENBLU It's funny because the episode in question is over 15 years old. Still, the cartoon character was voiced by a real person named Yeardly Smith, and I think she does do this song justice.

[jimmyjames6440]

@TheRAVENBLU Plus, it was too short.

[shadoww1000]

not every girl..wth?? .every one...

[reichmuth100]

JAZZMAN..TAKE'S MY BLUE'S AWAY!!!! =)))

[TheJiggadon]

This song was playing when I was born.

[Houroudi]

R.I.P. Bleeding Gums Murphy

[jogmas12]

good song but wrong album cover, this song was not on tapestry

[manu69005]

This song was always in my head, and when the sadness come, JAZZZMANNNNN !!!!

[hns123192]

Great singer, great songwriter. Carole King still rocks!

[zimruarq]

Some think that lisa sing better this song, and i say:

Lisa gave a nice touch to the song; and Carole is a true classic of art,

in what all agree is that it is an excellent song.

[MrTEBA9494]

Lisa simpson never stop of teach me things...thanks Matt Groening c:

[BlueRIff63]

Amazing.

[OldMod1]

but our Carole WROTE it!

[jbolio888]

@OldMod1

Actually Co-Written by David Palmer, an original vocalist for Steely Dan

[0baltimore]

jajaja, me gusta más la versión de lisa simson

[saltees1702]

Lisa Simpson is waaaaaaaaaaayy BETTER!!!!

[krisikole]

like if you came to this video by lisa simpson!!!

[HomerSimpson3288]

Wrong album cover, jazzman was from the 1974 album wrap around joy.

[MrSnab1n]

Reply to nholt: This album should just be mandatory....

[nealadams70]

I brought this album to school forshow and tell..it was my uncle Simyan's...somebody got it out of my backpack and used whiteout to give Carole and her cat glowing eyes..it scared my teacher , she sent me to the principal...he thought it was funny..he didnt like the new music..he liked Liberace..

[dictator54]

@sissybell1965 yu shud make a educated guess at least before yu cut me down if yu think she is a douche bag voting for obama and a liberal hippy cunt as nockuout1 said maybe yu shud not be listenin to her music as i happen to enjoy it yu obviously have a different opinion

[TheVisualthesaurus]

@dictator54 please use the letter "o" in the word "you". No one will take you seriously if you don't

[sissybell1965]

You ROCK, Carole King. I always have and always WILL love this song, as well as many others you've sang. I wish music today had that same effect and feel as it used to back in the "old school days". I am very fortunate to have lived in that generation. I especially love you and James Taylor together at the Troubador. And whoever said "lisa simpson" sings this song better than you, they have certainly bumped their head...........LOL

[sissybell1965]

@sissybell1965 this message is to you, dictator54, the message up above. or @nockuout1, as you call yourself, in regard to the comment you made down below, talking about how much class somebody else has, telling them to go back to their KKK roots, and most of all, telling ANYONE to fuck off. stay off this particular site if you are that immature.  Nobody wants to hear your negative bs..........................ge­t a life

[thevealchop68]

@sissybell1965 our approval????? what the f--k does that have to do with it? thats a stupid comment to insert into the argument.  Im not familiar with her other works. you set me straight on the other stuff shes done!!! thats all!!!!!!!!

[americaneagle2076]

@sissybell1965 "You can't do better than an original." Woody Allen Remember that when thinking about and watching an idiotic parody like Lisa Simpson.

[TheKevin546]

The song needs more clapping.

[rodney10000]

This is got to be one of the classic albums of all time.

[calalilygirl]

@rodney10000 I don't think was from Tapestry.

[stevemichaels2020]

@calalilygirl You are correct. JAZZMAN is from Carole's 1974 album, WRAP AROUND JOY.

[mrdramirez09]

@nockuout1 Right wing assholes like yourself are the reason this county is in the condition it's in; don't blame that on Obama. The house of cards started to fall when your boy Bush was at the helm. It will take years to clean up the mess him and his crony criminals created. You're apparently one of those stupid repubs who vote against their own self interest. However, if you're one of the top 2% earners in the country I can understand; my guess is you're not! You fuck off ignorant douche bag.

[mrdramirez09]

@nockuout1 More people should vote like her! Idiot....

[TheTimman36]

Remember this classic in 1974 listening to 77 WABC-AM in my 1963 AMC Rambler and making out late at night. Senior yr HS what a great song . There'll never be another Carole King Very brilliant singer and writer. They don't make them like this anymore unfortunately

[dictator54]

@nockuout1 yu can tell just how much class yu got, why don't yu go back to yur KKK  roots and fuk off

[sissybell1965]

@dictator54 who r u talking to? You sound like the biggest redneck I have EVER heard. If you can't enjoy the "old school" classic music, then why r u even on this site? there is NO sense in talking about the KKK and telling someone to fuck off...........how rude. If you don't have anything POSITIVE to say, then please say NOTHING AT ALL

[boxerdogs11]

"Its the late night side of morning in the darkness of your soul"......love it!!! What a classic song! Dont know if there has been a better album ever made, before or since

[kallemick]

i really like jazz and i have always wanted to find a song by a female jazz singer so this is kinda nice

[hitomusic]

The original hit recording smash millions-selling solid gold song. Heavens. Perfection in the world when perfection so rarely happens.

[ChicagoChick97]

how could anyone NOT like this song... or anything by Carole King for that matter!

[pierre8326]

There is only 11 dumbass which do not like it !! So proud !

[Litto808]

You'll live forever Bleeding Gums Murphy..Love you Lisa..so sad..Good bye Murphy...:(

[lawgivah1]

Thumbs up if you were looking for bleeding gums Murphy and Lisa!!

[tallulah1961]

I used to perform a striptease act to this song

[Maestrochimongas]

she has a cat! FUCK YEAH!

[Tracena22]

In the 70s, the instruments told the story as much as the lyrics. Best decade of music ever.

[ZeroDs111]

lisa sonsg better xD is a joke jajajajaja

[PrinceGumball96]

Im ashamed to say im here because of the simpsons:(

but in my defense the simpsons made it sound epic:)

[nholt]

This album should be manditory listening for every girl who wants to pursue singing and music.

[ToddSweeneyOnce]

@nholt Well said.

[studiosinger]

@nholt You presume there will be a viable music industry in the future. those days are quickly fading. Times are changing and the world is transitioning. Those days are over and the female vocalists will never achieve what these pioneers did.

[AlleyK26]

@nholt Totally! This album didn't leave my parents' stereo for a very long time during my first/second grade years :)

[mrdramirez09]

Tapestry, The Carpenters and American Pie albums were everywhere in the early 70's. The hung on for months.

[ToddSweeneyOnce]

@mrdramirez09 Yep. As a 6 year old, i thought Don McLean's thumb was the coolest thing ever at the time!

[jimi2142]

Carole King goes down like fine wine. Long live Carole.

[thepoopie2]

Testify over and over.

[loveanimelike123]

its nice ,but lisa simpson sing it better

[TheMustangsally75]

I still have this LP on vynil, scratches and all!!!!

[LynetteBarclayBush]

@TheMustangsally75 I still have it on vinyl, 8 track, cassette and 45 single. She's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shyblues]

@LynetteBarclayBush ... that is too cool mustang sally...

my sister had the album

[surlechapeau]

Carole King's Tapestry Album, clearly an All-Time Classic. Clearly a deserted island disc!

[DaveWollenberg]

@surlechapeau The album that 'Jazzman' was on, was called, 'Wrap around joy', NOT 'Tapestry'! Serendipity put up the WRONG album art!

[58dhart]

Call me crazy.....I've always felt that Carole King was one of the most beautiful Women on earth!! I'm in love with her.......

[DefCur]

I prefer Nancy Cartwrights raspy voice singing this, although this is also very nice

[iosonome90]

great song, soul's song <3

[NYCPUBS]

THIS IS ONE OF HER BEST ALBUMS , SO MANEY LOVELY SONGS , THAT JUST MAKE YOU FEEL HAPPY AT TIMES . :))) GLEN**************

[Bashnutter]

better than Liz Simpson's version!

[manu69005]

This song make me crazy ! ! !

I'm lovin it

Revisiting old memories...love this song!

[mytube1003]

Amazing song but, It sounds like she's REALLY bored to me. ://

[RICKzzSANDS]

@sweetbrowneyedlady ... I am on the same page with you... I literally wore "Tapestry" out twice on 8-track..I had a 67 Chevelle SS396, and a Muncie 8-track under the dash, and I didn't cruise the gut on Saturday nite without Tapestry...The Chicks all Loved it, and I loved it...Along with my Pooka Shells.. Waffle Stompers...Bell Bottom Jeans, and don't forget the "Boones Farm Strawberrry Hill"...The late 60's and early 70's was a time of "PERFECTION" in music..I Lived it and Loved it..RickzzSands

[whouster]

A truly great singer songwriter.

[8ashphil]

Tom Scott is the sax player on Jazzman and on the dvd Standing in the Shadows. A dvd documenting the music of the Funk Brothers, the house band for Motown.

[robnrick1]

COOL CAT song!!!! Love it!!

[JhonathanFree]

What album is this on? Not Tapestry.

[davidmadmaxx]

@JhonathanFree - Wrap Around Joy released in 1974... Nightingale is also on that album.. Yet, that album, despite its success, does not reach the soul like the sound of Tapestry... IMHO only, of course...

[cmmeyer7]

carole king is my hero

[shippogash]

me encanta esta canicion

[Aldo0o0o]

although it is a happy song, it reminds me Bleeding Gums Murphy's death :(

[boahlb05]

I do not care what her political or idiological views are. Her music is AWESOME. I love this song. She is truly a Classic singer and performer. AWESOME... My spirit takes flight from hearing this song... (from a right wing conservative)

[AALK5555]

first time(how i can remember) listening to blues was when i watched a chapter of the simpons and so appeared that song. thanks for uploading =)

[nudist0885]

Hey look,

That's Chuck Norris playing the part of THE CAT.

(8^)

[Smilxus]

I know this song thank to Lisa Simpson.

[RRNYC1998]

Carol is a leftist! Nice voice, but a damn leftist

[TheAndyman1000]

@RRNYC1998 Why should political ideals or principles ruin a great song?

[JhonathanFree]

@RRNYC1998 All the really talented people are. ;)

[blercari]

@RRNYC1998 She drove the big lumber companies away from her land and lands further on. It turns out the US Department of Forestry was leaning to subsidize the foresting of lumber from her lands and on. the subsidy was a big a loser for the American People.. Good for Her!

[kimmiewon]

Wrong album cover. Jazzman was not on Tapistry

[kendog99999]

The good ole days Smoooth 70's

[BrokenHorn90]

Though the Simpsons did bring me hear, the song's beauty made me stay ~o~

[3soccerstars]

Early 70's- wow.

Carole shined in a great era.

[timtoolman1953]

HAVE to play this one LOUD!! :()

[elscorcho18]

What I'm saying is, all we have to do is go down to the pound and get a new jazzman!

[timoonn]

the lisa simpson version is great too :o

[MortOscarstein]

i wish i could play the piano and do this song like carol!

[buhbuhray13]

I remember being a youngster when my hippie baby sitter had this album. it was awesome then and it's still awesome today

[Violet1391]

One of the greatest singers ever...and one of my favs...there will never be any other time like the 70's..in music or in any thing other..those were the days...

[diegillo686]

GREAT SONG!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT

[24Chiquitin]

this is the best song of the jazz that I´m seing

[DaveWollenberg]

Carole hit #2 in Billboard, 11-9-74. Tom Scott was the 'Jazzman', on soprano sax. God bless ya, for postin' it. Shalom, Carole. Thanx!

[padude64]

@lileinstein104 u masturbate to lisa simpson

[DAVIDInitiative]

@EatMyWetJuicyTurd Your username is eatmywetjuicyturd. What are you doing on a good song by a great artist? Go watch some porn.

[EatMyWetJuicyTurd]

@DAVIDInitiative hey ive got a great taste in music, i just happen to be a troll too, and i cum in pants to a hot brunette on youporn last night

[lileinstein104]

@EatMyWetJuicyTurd I agree with David. Your username belongs on porn forums telling stories, not on the youtube video of a great song from a great artist, go troll somewhere else kid.

[EatMyWetJuicyTurd]

@lileinstein104 STFU u dont even like the song u SCUMBAG

[lileinstein104]

@EatMyWetJuicyTurd Oh the insult's hurt so much, please stop. Oh whatever shall I do, being insulted by a kid behind a computer screen, Oh the pain, how will I live on? stop wasting my time kid.



[EatMyWetJuicyTurd]

@lileinstein104 YOUR PATHETIC piss off

[lileinstein104]

@EatMyWetJuicyTurd First of all it's "you're", second of all, I wasn't the one who replied to someones YouTube comment saying that they "master bate to Lisa Simpson". I am merely defending myself from a rather immature and ridiculous comment. But keep trying to troll me, this is fun, and I am sure it's the highlight of your day.

[barbarastarling1982]

I love you Kaffy!

[anonymouslogon6]

I hate to digress, but why are the Koolaid drinkers contaminating this page? Shouldn't they be hanging out with other libtards trying to figure out how to get Obama to pose for Playgirl Magazine?

[padude64]

Foxnews better watch their freakin rhetoric because I am about to have them shut down and you dirty bigots who listen to this station will learn a valuable lesson!

[anonymouslogon6]

@padude64

HAH! That's pretty funny! Please share with us how you are going to have Fox shut down so that I can do the same and rid the cable of Rachel Madcow!

[padude64]

@anonymouslogon6 When this mucsic came out, how beautiful this country was and when Fox news came out to destroy this country! Now do you want to debate me bitch!

[anonymouslogon6]

@padude64

No need to "debate" you. Anyone can see from your posts that your are suffering from the mental disorder of liberalism. If you think that, all by your little self, you are going to shut down a major network news station, you are crazy.

[padude64]

@anonymouslogon6 Liberalism? You republicanunts suffer from evil rightwing disease so fuck you! Republicans lose in November so fuck you evi right wing asshole!

[anonymouslogon6]

@padude64

You have just proven my point. I could not have done a better job myself. You are one crazy dude!

P.S. Please keep me posted on your efforts to shut down a major news network. It should be good for a few laughs.

[padude64]

Republicans are sick bastards and excuse me Michelle Bachmann the lying whore and not the flying nun that evil bich!

[leahcimber]

Great song, great band, great bass player!

[skipper8257]

Just another great song by Carol. One of the most prolific song writers ever along with her ex boyfriend Neil Sedaka.

[panchothemonkey]

@skipper8257 Neil Sedaka was never her boyfriend. Neil Sedaka is queer.
