This performance is utterly AMAZING! This is the piano part she wrote for the Chiffons' 1963 production! She wrote this song along with her husband Gerry Goffin, 1 of 118 pop hits she wrote/co-wrote that hit the top 100! A Billboard writer named her most successful female songwriter 1955-1999 in 2000. It's always fantastic to see an artist with so much talent performing their own compositions! My channel is a tribute to the best of a century of music, lists for every year since 1900. chuck
She is ONE OF A KIND! So AMAZING! We will never hear this again! Music is not the same! Ms. Carole King..Keep on singing! We love you and James way sooo much!
@bigcherry99 ... Oh my God ... Maybe you are too young to remember, but the photo of her on her mulit platinum "Tapestry" album was so gorgeously striking ..... the quintessential hippie type "cutie" with that mane of hair ..... The image is seared into my memories .... Carole ? ... oh yes indeed "pretty" !
I love her piano on this song. Two of my favorite songs were ones that she did not have hits with herself... this one and "Take Good Care of My Baby".
Hi, can you please tell me what performance this was from? A different person mentions posting "Its a war" from the same performance. How/where could I buy my own copy of this video? Can anyone tell me?
@kirkbzzz1 What a strange comment.. if this was said by a white person about a black woman... the whole balck population would be up in rage screamin -- racist comment! .. Just shows who the real racists are.
Carole King is a genius. If you read up on all those beautiful songs she wrote, particularly in the sixties you'd be totally shocked. I had Freddie Scott's record Hey Girl". We used to read the names of the writers on songs we liked as teenagers. I saw Carole King's name quite a lot on the Shirelles songs. I even think she wrote Locomotion by Little Eva. Stellar! Thanks for sharing this one.
Saw her live show with James Taylor and she STILL ROCKS after all these years! Take it from me, kids...Carole King IS and has ALWAYS BEEN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
@AlidaO Well, I wouldn't exactly say that Carole ROCKS, but I will say she's definitely more under the rock category than say, ummm, Lady CaCa, Britney, Ke$ha, Katy Perry or St!nk.
I'm surprised that I haven't made a comment before now. This a great,high energy presentation. You looked surprised at the audience response. Don't be, you earned it... Love ya'
When I was 14 I first heard this song. Never knew, that it was Carole's composition. And felt so good with "The Locomotion". What a great world to have YouTube and discover all these great artists and songs! The Chiffons are nice, but Carole King is a giant. I'm working on a CD with love songs. I think this one is a must be.
bornin; Thank-You Thank=you THANK=YOU I"ve been waiting a long time for some-one to post this Fabulous Song , by the 1 and Only Carole King. 5 Stars is not enough.
@Etnalleb What about Natural Woman? Totally amazing! Aretha Franklin does a great job, but I absolutely love Carloe Kings version wayyyyyyy soooo much better! You've got a friend, upon a roof. Kick Major Asssss!
Love you Carole- always! ;-)

I saw her twice at Hammersmith Odeon, London around early 1982.
She'd just released the LP ''Óne To One"'. In her band was Eric Johnson on guitar and he's on this clip as well.
