During the 60s Carole King was renowned for composing a succession of classic pop songs. A low-key recording career blossomed with the release of this album which successfully married this skill with the contemporary singer-songwriter movement. TAPESTRY is comprised of self-penned material and collaborations with either ex-husband Gerry Goffin or lyricist Toni Stern. King's unfussy vocal style enhances the simply stated yet astute material and in "It's Too Late" the singer expresses the breakdown of a relationship with percipient incisiveness. Such skill ensures the album's lasting popularity.
