Critics say that Carol's songs are the healing of the soul, which makes people who are disappointed in love believe in romance again and let helpless people see hope. As a singer, Carole King has sold 197 1 tapestry album so far (data of 2003). In 1970s, she, joan baez and Joni Mitchell were called the three giants of folk songs. ; As a creator, almost all the major orchestras in the 1960s and 1970s, the Beatles and aretha franklin, the wife of Lingge, performed her works, and quite a few singers even became an instant hit because of her works. Graham Nash, the psychedelic leader, once called her "redefining singer/creator".

Carole King was born in new york on February 9, 1942 on/kloc-0; He showed his musical talent very early, and when he was only 4 years old, he was already playing the piano well. In middle school, he organized a band and performed in the program of alan freed, the originator of rock DJ. At Queen's College, she met the then unknown paul simon, Neil Sedaka and Gerry Goffin. The cooperation between Carol and paul simon was not successful, but Carol's mastery of melody and Gao Fen, who is good at writing, are a perfect match. As a matter of fact, they really got married because of their common interests and close cooperation. The two co-wrote many famous songs that are still classic today; For example, will you still love me tomorrow? Later, they set up a production company with a columnist, which closed down just over a year ago. Intimacy and their marriage. Judging from the singer's characteristics, Carole King's voice condition is not good, and her personality is low-key and a little shy. For a time, she was afraid to perform on the stage or even tour for her new album. However, none of this hindered her success. You can say that she is brilliant, you can also say that her songs are moving, and you can also say that she just combines the simplicity of the United States in the 1960 s and 1970 s with her romance and dreams, but, more importantly, in my opinion, this is her original intention; She writes songs with her heart, she sings with her heart; Listening to her songs, you can obviously feel the sincerity that you can't hide. The songs she wrote, which were sung by more famous singers than her, were sung in Carole King, but they are different. Carole King herself said that whether writing songs or singing, her creed is "honesty and connection". She tried to express the feelings in the song most sincerely, without affectation or exaggeration; Even if it is writing songs for others, even if it is not her own personal experience, she will let herself understand the mood at that moment first, and then interpret it with her heart. Therefore, no matter what message she wants to convey, we can always receive it clearly, because as Samuel Coloridge said, "What comes from the heart reaches the heart." The distance between heart and heart is the shortest, which comes from the true feelings in the heart and always knocks the heart the deepest. Tapestry is the most beautiful record in 197 1, and it won four Grammy awards for Carole King (album of the year, female singer of the year, single of the year "You have a friend" and single of the year "It's too late"). Appeared on the bulletin board for 300 weeks. Today, it is still one of the best-selling 100 records in America. This is a record to explain the "classic". From a technical point of view, the beautiful melody and lyrics, the first-class band, the beautiful harmony of james tyler and Joni Mitchell, Carole King's interpretation, and her piano and guitar interspersed among them are almost perfectly combined to make this perfect album. The style is fresh and simple. In this album, Carole King is easy-going and kind, but strong and positive, expressing all the feelings and moods of women after liberation. The inherent uncertainty and insecurity of women in the relationship between men and women revealed in I think the earth is moving. Will you love me tomorrow? I feel that "The Earth Shakes" expresses the happiness and passion of love, and with the light melody, it once became a DJ's favorite song; It's Too Late shows the maturity and reality of urban women's gradual awakening. Carole's lyrics have always been simple and straightforward but easy to resonate, because everyone will feel that those simple words are their unspeakable voices; Tapestry clearly shows this style. As long as you listen attentively, you will certainly feel the vitality and appeal of this album under peace. In 2002, Carole King released a new album "Love Makes the World"; ; This album is full of low-key and nostalgic styles that filled the air in those years, but it also incorporates various musical elements of different styles: hip-hop, rock, pop and classical; This is a topic about "love", romantic love, sincere friendship, self-confidence and self-love; Carol's voice is still magnetic, warm and soothing (of course, sometimes it is too magnetic, after all, she is 60 years old at that time), and she continues to exert her magical power: between peace and calmness, she conveys a positive life to you without any sense of preaching. I believe many people, like me, feel that this album is far from reaching the height of tapestry; There is a lack of change in tunes and internal harmony and unity in styles (probably due to Carol's collaboration with others). But who can say that a singer can only have one brand style? Who can say that this is not a transcendence, at least an attempt to surpass? In this album, the favorite is Love Made the World, and the most disappointing thing is that "You will find me there, which will definitely remind you of the song" You have a friend ",and the result will only make you feel that" clothes are not as good as new, people are not as good as old, and even songs are not as good.
