Carole King performing in London in 1970. Photograph: Gijsbert Hanekroot/Redferns MC Taylor, Hiss Golden Messenger Tapestry is performed and produced without pretence. You can hear clearly the subtle twists and turns of the chord progressions, the nuanced choices in harmony. Those vocal harmonies at the end of It’s Too Late and the bridge on Beautiful! Is it wrong to pine for songs of such quality? Songs allowed to shine through as they are, unadorned and utterly remarkable. Tapestry was a little confusing to me when I first heard it as a full album, maybe in my early 20s. I’d heard plenty of those songs on oldies radio growing up. But why this down-to-earth, subtle take on Natural Woman, on that song by James Taylor? And then that awakening: holy shit, Carole King wrote all those songs? A songwriter I’d known all my life, without knowing her. Carole King was born Carol Joan Klein in New York City. She grew up in Brooklyn with her father — a firefighter — and her mother, a school teacher. Mrs. Kleinloved music and the theater, and made sure her daughter was exposed to both. By the age of three, Carol (the final “e” came later) was showing an enthusiasm for music and a highly accurate sense of pitch. At age four, her mother began teaching her the rudiments of piano technique, music theory and harmony. Carol easily learned the popular songs she heard on the radio, and soon began writing songs of her own. At age 15 she auditioned for ABC Paramount Records and caught the ear of producer Don Costa, who placed her under contract. She recorded her first singles as a singer, without notable success, but continued to write music and learn the record business. 1959: Husband and wife songwriting team Carole King and Gerry Goffin in RCA recording studio in New York City.He was very comfortable in the studio,” says Szymcyzk. “I ran very relaxed sessions, letting B show the tune to the players, and then everybody work out the arrangements. Once he got to know the players, none which he’d played with before, he was quite loose.”

I think you could make a pretty good case that Carole King and Gerry Goffin were the best popular songwriters of the last half of the 20th century. I love Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow. Everything she sings is deeply felt. Sharon Van Etten A never-seen concert film of classic singer-songwriter Carole King’s first-ever show outside the US in 1973 will be released by Eagle Vision on 14 June. Live at Montreux 1973 captures her performance at the Montreux Pavillon as part of that year’s Montreux Jazz Festival, and includes hits from King’s landmark albums of the early 1970s, Tapestry, Writer and the then-just-released Fantasy.

In fact, it’s a decade so musically diverse, we had quite a time whittling it down to our top albums. When we polled our staff, interns and writers, over 250 albums received votes, but ultimately these 70 emerged as clear favorites. a b c Okamoto, Satoshi (2006). Oricon Album Chart Book: Complete Edition 1970-2005. Roppongi, Tokyo: Oricon Entertainment. ISBN 4-87131-077-9. When you write a song it’s almost mystical. It feels as if the words just come out and it can be months or even years later you realise: “ That’s what was happening.” I’d love to know who those songs are about. I think female artists are great at just letting it all show. As artists, my sisters and I feel like having Carole always in our lives definitely inspired us.

JimMcCrary/Redferns Carole King: My mother loved music and she had an eclectic collection of classical and show tunes and some popular music. So she just loved it and always listened to it, so I was exposed to it in the womb and as a child. I loved music and it made a lot of sense to me the gift that I have for it. I was able to understand it and learn it and recreate it.

To paraphrase one of his greatest songs, BB King had paid the cost to be the boss. He famously toured relentlessly – more than 350 dates some years – but by the mid 60s he was essentially cutting the same studio record over and over. A new approach was needed, and salvation came in the form of young record producer Bill Szymcyzk.Suicide’s eponymous 1977 debut, in terms of style and influence, is one of the most groundbreaking releases in the history of music. I don’t think that’s hyperbole, when you consider that it’s regarded as the first synth-pop record, and has since gone to inspire legions of bands, from Joy Division to MGMT. What’s interesting is that, unlike most seminal records, it still sounds ahead of its time today. The reverb, bleakness and atonal drone might have turned off much of the general public, but like all great artists, Suicide’s Alan Vega and Martin Rev had the balls to sound like sex, danger, madness and ultimately possibility. — Drew Fortune

What else can be said about The Dark Side of the Moon that hasn’t been said already? It’s one of those records that seems to exist in its own little world. There hasn’t been another quite like it before or since its release, and its impact on nearly every aspect of music—songwriting, production, engineering—is still felt even decades later. In regards to Pink Floyd as a band, the album marked a distinct change of direction in the group’s sound, due in large part to the departure of Syd Barrett, who had been the band’s principal songwriter until his deteriorating mental state forced him to leave the group. Barrett’s mental problems also served as inspiration for much of Dark Side’s concept and themes, which focused on issues like madness, the passage of time, conflict and death. — Wyndham Wyeth ARIA Charts - Accreditations - 2006 DVD".

Three years later, The BB King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center opened in a restored cotton gin at 400 Second Street in Indianola. When he came to the grand opening, King revealed that he had worked there in the 1940s. In 2015 he was posthumously named Secretary Of State Of The Blues. Carole King: I don’t know if they told me I was gifted, and I don’t know if I knew I was gifted. I just liked it. I had almost perfect pitch. During the 1960s, with Carole King writing the music and Gerry Goffin the lyrics, the two wrote a string of classic songs for a wide variety of artists. Their hits included “The Loco-Motion,”“Up on the Roof,” and “One Fine Day.” He was christened Riley B King. A few years before his death, BB sought out the precise location of his birth, guided by his late father’s spoken directions on a cassette tape. The scene was captured by filmmaker Jon Brewer for his 2014 documentary BB King: The Life Of Riley.
