One of the greatest transformations in American Pop history is documented on TAPESTRY; after nearly a decade as a dowdy behind-the-scenes tunesmith working in near-anonimity in the Brill Building, this album (and the great cover photo) turned Carole King into an iconic Greenwich Village mother earth singer songwriter.And she hits the ball out of the park on both counts: her voice is like the girl next door, if the girl next door could drop her inhibitions and had perfect pitch; the tunes are exquisite, elegant; the combination is soulful, American, and classic.You've heard all the hits, and they were worthy of the charts, but don't miss her remake of the hit she wrote years earlier, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" It's a low-key way for King to point out how mature the lyrics to the early 60's Pop tune had been--it was easy to miss in the teenbeat, uptempo version that had hit the charts--and it is the true masterpiece of this great CD.
