I had some business dealings with her about 18 years ago and she is a shrew of the first order.
However, I’m sure you wouldn’t see it that way and my guess is that you’re probably right.
I successfully ignored the bulk of Taylor's drivel, but when he defiled Handy Man I thought he should have been drug outside behind the studio and shot.
I used to like both James Taylor and Carole King. But something inside has died and I just can’t hide and I just can’t fake it. They no longer have me for a friend, Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall. So goodnight you moonlight ladies, I won’t be rockabyeing Sweet Baby James down on Copperline. They can walk on down the country road for all I care. The earth won’t move under my feet and the sky won’t tumble down whenever they’re around. Smackwater Jack has left the station.
The list of artists, living and dead, who I admire and never want to meet is long.
She looks like a MAN in that pic!
What a summer for concerts!We have the Medicare Tour with these two,plus the Miley Cyrus jailbait tour going on.
Young or old one? I’m guessing young one ....
Young....Sedaka had a huge crush on Carole King.
I caught her show a while back ... along with some guy I think was her husband ....
There is a pretty good movie “inspired” by Carole King’s career up to Tapestry called “Grace of My Heart”. Highly recommended. Never could stand James Taylor though. Too darn whinny.
>>> There was this one summer when all they played on the radio were songs from that album, Tapestry. Probably 1972 or thereabouts. I got my fill then - don’t need any more.
Does that apply to the other Carole King music? They’ve never stopped playing the other music she wrote including :
Crying in the Rain
Don’t Say Nothin’ Bad (About My Baby)
Go Away Little Girl
I’m into Something Good
It’s Going to Take Some Time
Keep Your Hands Off My Baby
The Loco-Motion
(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman
One Fine Day
Pleasant Valley Sunday
Take Good Care of My Baby
Up on the Roof
Will You Love Me Tomorrow
And that just scratches the surface.
Agree that the Goffin-King songwriting combo was fruitful.
The album Tapestry is just not my cup of tea, however.
