Reminds me of my days during Air Force Basic tranning could always tell when a guy got a dear john letter you'd hear this song playing on the juke in the px with some guy sitting in a corner crying over his girls picture
If I recall correctly, Carole King tried to sell her Tapestry album, but no one wanted her doing the singing. Everyone loved the songs, but had a different artist in mind for them. She stuck to her guns, and eventually launched it herself to become the best selling album, at some 35 million sales worldwide, until Michael Jackson's "Thriller." I love that aspect of it; it makes listening to it all the sweeter!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY,you've given us so many great songs and your voice.but what i mostly am greatful for is how you share your sweet personality when we you,you always uplift me.thanks for being you.have a great day and year.
Tapestry was number 1 on the Billboard 200 for 15 consecutive weeks, and held the record for most weeks at number 1 by a female solo artist for over 40 years until surpassed by Adele's 21 in 2012.[4] It still holds the record for most consecutive weeks at number 1 by a female solo artist.
Leave us all face it--Carole King sets that standard that distaff songwriters are measured against. Without Miss King, there would be no Linda Creed, Laura Nyro, Dianne Warren, have I forgotten anyone?
I was 16 and my boyfriend bought the tapestry for me.....i think i wore it out it was on an 8 track wow the years flew by lol...Anyways thanks to you Donnie I always loved Carole King and always will !!!
It was 1971, my girlfreind Roselynn worked at Hudsons in the record department. She played this album constantly. I thought that she was the best thing to ever happen to me. I bought a house for us, we were engaged, my Mother was writing out wedding shower invitations when I went to her house and made the announcement; "Roselynn left me." I was devistated beyond belief. That was February 1973. In December of that year I was married to my present wife.
@MrUncleglenn , That's the trouble with certain songs, they also remind you of the "downs" in life, in full technicolour as it were. I hope things turned out well for you, but....I do know how you feel, good luck mate.
I am almost 42 years old & if I remember correctly I grew up listening to Carole as a kid in the 70's? I was really introduced w/her Tapestry album & that is one of the BEST albums/cassette/CD(?) I have. It's great when you can put it in & just push play. My daughter & I listened 2 it & now My granddaughter & I listen 2 it. She's AWESOME!!
24 million albums in 6 years.....the eagles had to put out a greatest hits to take the top spot all-time....then MJ killed it with thriller....still 24million is damn good for 70's or 00's standards
i love my mom and the last time i herd this song it was 1972 it was on the radido and i was in ; my crib i was listining to the radio at the time i dont rembrer at the time i was onley 2
@JustinRebeccaBlack -Carole King is playing the piano...I just saw her on a late night show recently....SHE SHE BLEW IT AWAY ON HER PIANO!! I love her, know all her songs...read them and memorized every word...and now my kids sing it!! Love you Carole!!!
when my ex broke up with me she said maybe in the near future we could try again. then as the future came and she got her own place i wanted to ask her about us. but i didn't, cause something was different. then today i heard this song on tv and looked it up and listened to it...it was as if i realized what was wrong. everything was put into words in this song. i realize now that i have to move on. easier said than done of course
I had this album when I was a teen. Does that tell my age? haha I love this song. All her songs. Along with my best boy friend Jon. we had such a great time together I miss it so much. Life was so much easier then. Wish I could go back. Jon is go to heaven and I am still here. Alone.
I love this song in a strange sort of way, It takes me back a long time to when my first true love had dumped me. Up early for work the next morning I turned the radio on and this came out, she almost mirrored the words I heard the night before.
I'm praying that Adele can help change the music scene. She is very refreshing and most definitely a throwback to the '70s. I pray that her surgery does no damage to those vocal chords. I have to give both of you a thumb up. As long as we can appreciate real music, that's all that matters. Carole King, I love you! Adele, I'm very much in like with you! =)
@MrSpencerPort there are serious musicians out there. Unfortunately all the mainstream is targeted at a younger audience. Lots of good folk/singer songwriter stuff out there, you just have to broaden your horizons a teet.
Tapestry was a rare album. Seemed every song lasts until today, without diminishing in time. I had a couple albums I considered like this, Croce had one also. Haha, no side B. And to say that of an album is saying a lot.
@meglaw69 That's a really unkind thing to say about people who are famous today. Granted, there are people curiously devoid of talent who are quite successful, but that's true of every era. We just forget most of those people after a comparatively short time, when they're replaced by someone equally boring and talentless. I think Carole King would still be successful, though her music might sound a little bit different, who knows?
@meglaw69 lol she might of not dressed like a slut, but she did tons of drugs and acted like a complete maniac, and danced like she was possessed. Mary Roach... er i mean Mary Guilbeaux, did a fantastic job channeling the spirit of Carol in her amazing American Idol audition!!!
i think that with this song carole king does all her explaining and answer's everyone's questions and she does all of it with such class and taste. this is one of my all time favorite song that she does. she doesn't owe anyone anything at all she is and always will be her own person.
It amazes me that somehow songwriters can retain some form of private and personal life while sharing with the rest of the world very intimate thoughts in the form of song. It is as though they already view their lives as transparent and universal already. So why not sing about it? Carol King thereby, in my book, is a treasure. Revelatory in a way. Why wouldn't we love her? She tells us about ourselves by revealing herself.
@TheReturnOfStephan1 funny you mention Adele. I was just listening to her album when I thought of this song. I agree with you and meglaw69. There are too many carbon-copy musicians out there, but artists like Adele give me hope for the future of music. Hopefully I can contribute to that future as well. =)
My #1 favorite song ever. I'm 56 yrs old now, this came out when I was in high school. Back then it had such relevance to the break-up with my first love. That big time High School Heartbreak. Forty yrs later.....I still think of him when I hear this song. In hindsight.....he was "the one". I recently saw him at his sisters funeral. Sure, emotions were running high.....but when he grabbed my hand........Oh God, what a reaction I had. I'll never forget it.....or him. "But it's too late baby".
@Chichester1972 One of the best 'comments' I've ever read on Youtube! So honest and real. Sorry for the high school sweetie but indeed, "it's too late!"
This song was one of my favorites before I even truly understood the lyrics ... I grew up with music like this . True un altered talent . These days all you need to do is look good and be able to dance and they will make you a star . All you do is sell your soul and let them use a vox on your vocals they will do the rest..
Carole Kings' Tapestry album IS the best popular music release of the 20th century. Says a lot huh? Nothing against Elvis, Sinatra, The Stones ect. But when you listen to this album, it is timeless. It (the album) could have been released in 1981 or 1991 and been just as phenomenal. 1901 through 1961 don't count .Nothing against this period but way different. She kicked the shit out of 1971. I hope someone reads this.Stayed on Billboards top albums for over a decade.
Carol King came up with a beautiful group of songs that just have so much soul in them. Her Tapestry Album was something that only comes along once in a life time. It has so much emotion behind it. It goes without saying that it is timeless.
When i hear this song, Idream with a perfect woman, and finally found in my wife, Pat thank you for belong to me an for gave to me wonderfull kids,God bless you
This song is a perfect eample of why we need more musicians and not just karaoke singers. Take for example Rhianna or any of the "singers" on the charts today that came from American idol or god knows what other show. Give me talented songwriters like this over any of that dress like a slut dance club electronica music bullshit.Howdid we go from this to the crap that is on the charts today/
I love this song, I was 3 back in 71 when I first heard it and we had the Tapestry Album. Even the cat looks like my first cat. In 2011 I still appreciate the instrumental part in the middle, it is moving and peaceful. I am kind of glad that there are some good top 40 songs in 2011 by Adele, like Rolling in the Deep and Someone Like you which I can kind of connect to King's sound. Sara Barellies in 2007 has a couple of good songs too.
women never really love outside of maternal, they will use and only show emotion when loseing something they are not quit tired of or their security, a man with money is far less likly to lose his women .... case proven!!!
I don't know how rolling stone picks the top 500 songs wen music is a personal choice i have never heard of anyone asking what i thought or anyone else i know for that matter, it's all up to what yu like !!!!!!!!!!
A quote from johnny depp if yu find yurself in luv with two woman pick the second for if yu were truly in luv with the first there would be no second, Tapestry another classic alblum from the seventies
Always loved this song, and sadly, now it describes my life. It's too late. You try & try & your feelings dont change. I just need the courage to walk away. Hard to do after 30 years.

Please read the prophecies of Linda Newkirk at prophecies org
Important warnings from the Lord about the Antichrist, the Two Witnesses, the truth about Rev 12, the false rapture/alien invasion.
Preachers and televangelists will promote the invasion as the return of Jesus when wars and chaos break out.
False prophets in the churches will soon be performing counterfeit miracles, Satan will take over those who participate.
Jesus is not in the churches, get out of them before it is too late!

Carole King simplesmente demais em Its Too Late

This song is a perfect eample of why we need more musicians and not just karaoke singers. Take for example Rhianna or any of the "singers" on the charts today that came from American idol or god knows what other show. Give me talented songwriters like this over any of that dress like a slut dance club electronica music bullshit.Howdid we go from this to the crap that is on the charts today/

This song is very haunting. Catchiest chorus ever! My moms tunes, and all these years later, still with me. Proof of a great song.

I love this song, I was 3 back in 71 when I first heard it and we had the Tapestry Album. Even the cat looks like my first cat. In 2011 I still appreciate the instrumental part in the middle, it is moving and peaceful. I am kind of glad that there are some good top 40 songs in 2011 by Adele, like Rolling in the Deep and Someone Like you which I can kind of connect to King's sound. Sara Barellies in 2007 has a couple of good songs too.

women never really love outside of maternal, they will use and only show emotion when loseing something they are not quit tired of or their security, a man with money is far less likly to lose his women .... case proven!!!

The pain comes from the dissolution of a failed relationship, and the resulting disappointment.
The joy comes from the clarity to know when to stop trying to fix something that never really worked.

This song and Fleetwood Mac's 'Landslide' have to be two of the most touching songs of all time.

Always loved this song, and sadly, now it describes my life. It's too late. You try & try & your feelings dont change. I just need the courage to walk away. Hard to do after 30 years.
