Carole King oh no not my baby

[lelehart3]

Gorgeous, rich, satisfying music from an incredible songstress. Her lyrics and melody is spellbinding and carries me along like a breeze. She is in my heart every time I sing her songs.

[MrKat65]

Lovely! The melodies and chord progressions are pure Carole King. Timeless.

[pr0methian]

Have to add...I take nothing away from Carole though :)

[witterla]

Carole's vocals are the best version of this beautiful song! Makes you want to sing along from the heart. We've all been there.

[jjs499]

Its almost indescribable, who good she was at comming up with all those melodies back in the 60's & 70's. And could sing pretty dams good too.

[11xzxzxz]

I don't know any song by Carole that I love (though I like a lot of hers) , except this one. She wrote it and does a fine job of singing it.

[jilhal24]

It's funny how she sounds so insincere, yet she wrote the song! She's an extremely talented songwriter but her vocals never carry out her songs' true potential. She knows it too.

[skipper8257]

@jilhal24

She never considered herself as a great singer but no one writes better melodies than this woman.

[jjs499]

@skipper8257 This woman, Carol king was resposible for aprox 120 hits throughout her career. Many most came in the 60's. Where she got these melodies from really amazes me. Song writers are an incredible group to me, and Carol was mabey the top 3 or 4 af all time, Just google her hits, and you will be amazed, She and Jerry were a great team.But The Lord gave her a special gift.. and she used it well..I would love to see her story in a film..Martin Scorcesse, are you listening???

[jpeyton62]

@jilhal24 Funny how Lou Adler said that no one would ever return her demos because everyone liked them so much. Whatever technical flaws she may have vocally, she more than compensates with great sense of rhythm, phrasing, and understanding of structure. I'd much rather hear Carole King sing with her piano than listen to someone belt, go into histrionics, and shout look at me and forget the song. Dusty Springfield, a superior vocalist, kept Carole's demos and treasured them to her death.

[MsTracie]

Thank God for Idol. I never heard this song b4!

[metalmark69]

Love this song ,I get chills just hearing it!

[tarington]

I wish all these lip sync wannabe's and air guitar heroes, that they actually hand awards too ( For What? Best Fraud) had to prove their talent, live, unplugged, But we know that will never happen, it takes years of hard work, training your voice, and rough fingers from playing to be an artist and she is one without a doubt. I dont have the talent to be an artist, just the good sense to know one when I hear them. I am happy I have real music in my life.

[von1231000]

this is a great song

[Stolarz1987]

She wrote a lot of pretty good songs and a little bit of crap.

[wilsondylanmccartney]

I love Carole and her songs. Kinda wish she wouldn't do some of her best songs like this so slow though. Will You Love Me Tomorrow is another one of hers that she does real slow. It just doesn't cut it. Gotta have that rhythm.

[jamesjonesrocket]

i recently listened to a carole king collection album by chance, and I couldn't believe all the great songs she wrote. I'd never even heard of her before, what a great artist! thanks carole.

[mary88stella]

I love this song so much. Does anyone have the Carole King Mary Clayton duet singing this song? If yes please make a vid and let me know.

Thanks for this beautiful song. She is one of the most amazing singers ever.

[vaccavo]

Fatinha... tantos anos este video está no YouTube e eu não havia visto! Obrigada. Acho que sou a fã número 1 dela. Carole King é a rainha!

[pls9927]

This song captures the exact moment when we find out that the one we poured our love into has had someone else.

Carole King = songwriter genius.

[drumno5]

Carole is the bomb, for sure. But don't forget, it was Gerry Goffin who wrote the lyrics; gotta give props to him, too.

[lucripet]

@pls9927 Very well said! Very sad none the less.

[11xzxzxz]

One of the most beautiful lyrics and melodies ever. I am sorry but there are not a lot of great female songwriters but Carol, L Nero, PJ Harvey

C Hynde, Cynthia Weil, and Ellie Greenwich are some of the best.

[Paintpro91952]

OMG ... I thought this was my song for me & my ex ....

ohhhhh ... how wrong I was.

Still an awesome song ... and God Bless love like this ...

I just made a very bad choice.

[mkearley49]

Oh yeah .. that's an American treasure right there.

[hah13]

how could maxine's be the original if carol wrote it

[Kwekwe]

Gerry Goffin and Carol King wrote it for Maxine Brown who sung it first. Carol sung this version live after Maxine Brown, so although its Carols (and Gerrys) song, Maxine sang the original version.... hope that explains it! :-)

[rajens00]

Thanks for all the wonderful music, Carole.

[ktel173]

great job, but maxine brown is the best of all. her singing almost brings tears to my eyes.

[artistsixteen]

one of my favorite writers up there with Smokey Robinson!!!!!

[Naitch1981]

I LOVE this song!

I first heard Aretha Frankin's version, but this my be the best I've heard it yeat.

Nothing beats the original!

[WillerRemyMa]

Maxine Brown's version is the original. Carole wrote it to her. :)

[pr0methian]

Wrong....it was given to the shirelles...but didnt work out. Maxine Brown re-interpreted it from thier hashed recording and released it... I have to say Maxines is the best production/interpretation.

[xpressivist]

no offense against her fans, but honestly, carole king is more beautiful in this video than in her '70's ones. but her voice never changed. it still has that raw feeling sound. that's why i love the way she sings. you don't hear a very natural voice like this nowadays anymore. thanks for posting.

[peepeepoopoocaca]

why is everyone like OMG WHAT A GREAT SONGWRITER! maybe. yeah. but she didnt write this song, pendejos.

[OmeletteThePuppy]

Yes, she did.  She wrote the music and her husband Gerry Goffin wrote the lyrics. Who do you think DID write it? Maxine Brown?

[68enxy]

"Maybe a great song writer?" Are you kidding? Look-up all the songs she has written, she has to be in the top 10o of all song writers and probably the most successful female song writer of all time. On top of that, she's really nice. I met her and she took the time to have a conversation with me,

[xpressivist]

artist from the 70's are very cool. she's nice and knows how to relate to people because she used to be a hippie. they say, "peace, mannn!".lol

[yourface94]

Stunning and Brilliant!!!

[hug2046]

Thank U

[68enxy]

WOW, what a woman, what a song writer, what a singer. She is a national treasure!!!!!!!!

[jameycruz]

Does Carole sing It's Gonna Be All Right? I have Maxine's posted.Trying to find Carol's

[idahovandal]

her ex husband, Gerry Goffin wrote this lyric. I think he probably inspired it too.

[amd77j]

Carole King is one of the American songwriters who should be declared a National Treasure.

[doddlesock]

fabulous

[credenza1]

If you ever get a chance to see her live ....GO!

[121jsb]

Unless my memory is playing me tricks(!) I'm sure Carole and Merry Clayton did this song as a duet on a British TV show(OGWT?) many years ago, maybe late 70s. If it exists I haven't found it yet. Can anybody shed light on this?

[33cpcw]

You are right - a great performance - someone put it on Youtube - OGWT - maybe early 70's - they were filmed in the studio as Merry Clayton was recording the track for an album...

[jonthom11702]

I didn't know she wrote this song. Of course, it doesn't surprise me. Carole King is amazing, and I love this performance!

[danieloarte13]

Yes, she wrote that song for Maxine Brown in the 60's

[carolejonilaura]

Carole King knows how to write a good song! And she sings it with a Soul and Jazz-feeling, after all these years.

She looks beautiful and natural... about 60 at that time.

[MalhamScousers]

GREAT THANKS

[wkares]

Sounds like shes hurting!!!!!GOD BLESS!

[thefamilycat]

A song known in the UK by a couple of horrible covers

[jemb2000]

Dusty Springfield was Carole King's favourite interpreter of her songs... Dusty's version is the best, imo

[MeAndMyRC]

What a voice!!

[kengk1234]

listen to the partridge family version it is good to

[vaccavo]

Sou a fã número UUUUUUUUUUuum da Carole King. Se alguém conhece o Hard Rock Café, há de concordar que Labirynth e One são dois dos melhores legados dela, para toda a eternidade. Pena que a Karen Carpenter somente gravou One Fine Day e It's Going to Take Some Time, dela. Duas das melhores coisas que o tio Sam produziu.

[nicnovo]

ela tem uma alma linda...she has a great pretty soul..............i love carole..songs..lyrics...story.­.....voice.......

[mattburgh1]

Awesome!

[divasslave]

é engraçado como o meio artístico deixa de lado talentos como o de Carole King! suas canções parecem só fazer sucesso na voz de outros! Cito como exemplo Natural Woman que é diretamente relacionado à Aretha Franklin! É óbvio que Aretha canta no mínimo 8475885 vezes melhor q Carole, mas eu sinto q ela não recebe créditos por ser uma grande compositora!

[upact]

This is great...Thanks.
