The International Women’s Day is in March – so for this edition of Potluck I put together a retro – “Women Only” playlist featuring music from Carole King. This show is retro in two ways: much of the music was originally recorded in the 60’s and I’ll be playing King’s 1971 seminal album „Tapestry” straight through.
Throughout the 60’s King, together with Gerry Goffin, wrote a string of pop classics. Following her successful career as a songwriter, she set off to perform her own material. In 1971 she released the album Tapestry – one of the best-selling albums of all time. She wrote or co-wrote all of the songs on the album – several of them already hits by other Artists.
The playlist begins with four of my “Goffin & King” favorites:
Little Eva – The Loco-Motion
The Chiffons – One Fine Day
Maxine Brown – Oh No Not My Baby
Aretha Franklin – (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman
And continues with the album Tapestry:
Carole King – I Feel The Earth Move
Carole King – So Far Away
Carole King – It’s Too Late
Carole King – Home Again
Carole King – Beautiful
Carole King – Way Over Yonder
Carole King – You’ve Got A Friend
Carole King – Where You Lead
Carole King – Will You Love me Tomorrow
Carole King – Smackwater Jack
Carole King – Tapestry
Carole King – (You make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman
