Carole King (born February 9, 1942) is an American singer-songwriter and pianist, regarded as one of the most influential female songwriters of the 20th century.
It came from Tapestry the 1971 album that saw her blossom from New York hit-factory operative to magisterial Laurel Canyon singer/songwriter pioneering the era's mellow introspective aesthetic.
She’s nearing the end of her first ever full-length performance of her 1971 album Tapestry a 25m seller that wasn’t just a scrapbook of her divorce from songwriting partner Gerry Goffin but a formative record for many women.
The audience in Hyde Park for Carole King was 99% white and middle-aged with the very few younger people scattered about appearing to be teenagers there with their parents.
When you’re down and troubled and you need a helping hand they sang with such unity and conviction even the star of the show was compelled to pause and listen.
