My Mom used to sing this to my babies (now 31 and 29). RIP Mom, I know you are up on the roof, watching over us. You were so cool to love my songs and my generation. I was blessed to have you as a Mommy. The kids were blessed to have such a cool Mimi ---- sorry they lost you in '86. They missed you as they grew up. I miss you, but this song stays in my mind .. you stole it from my Carole King album and now it's "My Mom's Song" to me. See you on the roof.

Love, Sis

Put me on a desert island with everything recorded by James Taylor and Carole King and I'll die in paradise

Wow. What a wonderful arrangement and performance. I won't hate on popular music today, but, wow... what, 30 years later? Thank you, Ms. King and Mr. Taylor, for your talent, your dedication, and (did you see JT take off hopping) your JOY. It's infectious, and it's downright GOOD.

Wonderful lyrics by Jerry Goffin. Please don't forget who wrote the lyrics!

[fred bloggs]

however good the singers are today... there just is no soul in modern songs...This period was the greatest soulful period in music
