Carole King - Music

After years as one of the most prolific and successful songwriters in pop music, Carole King emerged in the 1970s with Tapestry, an album that catapulted her to the forefront of the singer/songwriter movement. While she had mined her back catalog for that album, she relied more heavily on songs written with new collaborator Toni Stern for Music. Time has shown this album to be one of her finest. Her songwriting is still in peak form, and there are many highlights including "It's Gonna Take Some Time" (also made into a hit by the Carpenters) and "Song of Long Ago" (with backing vocals by James Taylor). — All Music Guide
