Carole King is such a talented singer/songwriter--just a special woman!😊💒

A Gem. .Thanks. .

..........A TIMELESS CLASSIC.........!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too much bass

Very nice😊

Great song

Love the king!! One of the greatest songwriters of any era... Timeless

Have loved her iconic music since the very 1st time listening to it!! She is an amazing artist with so much talent.. Timelesssssss

One of the greatest female artist of all time!!! Timeless by ms king.. Such a great and talented artist...

I think this song is about a famous man taken by success which in turn made him lose soul and the woman of his dreams. Now filled with regrets he only has her memory and voice to be lasting comforts.

BRIAN FREEMAN !!!

JUST ANOTHER GREAT SONG FROM THE 70S AND 80S GREAT TIMES GREAT MUSIC

Who doesn't love this chick. Was 14 when she hit the charts. I'm 60 now , she still is just a perfect hippie girl. Her pic on her Tapestry album in jeans and bare feet and that curly hair. What a natural soul

❣️❣️😍❣️❣️💋

Awesome !

I read the book "Night Bird" by B.F., so I wonder what song it was:-))

Carole has an angels voice.

Like some night bird homeward wingin'
He seeks the sheltered nest
Like the sailor's lost horizon
He needs some place to rest

The songs that he's been singin'
No longer make much sense
And those stranger's cold perceptions
They've killed his confidence

Nightingale, she sails away upon a sea of song
Nightingale, she serenades his lonely, lonely life along
When his tired voice is broken, his golden hope is gone
She makes a lost soul's simple longing, somehow not so wrong
Nightingale, nightingale

He was strong, but he was taken
By the thought of his success
Those spotlights shadows how they lured him
And took him like all the rest

But that old dream don't look good now
No it don't seem quite the same
He needs to hear a tender word
Won't you sing him home again?

Nightingale, she sails away up on a sea of song
Nightingale, she serenades his lonely, lonely life along
When his strength is slowly going his pride is all but gone
She makes a foolish dreamer listen to one last song

Nightingale ooh sing sweet nightingale
Oh, na, na, na, na, na
Nightingale, oh nightingale, oh nightingale
Sing, sing, sing, sweet nightingale

STELLAR ✨

SHE TAKES YOU ON A GREAT TRIP WITH HER SONGS! THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

If y'all wanna take a walk back into the 70"s, listen to some of carole"s top hits.....Omg, such good days in my life, she WILL take you back

It was so awesome her daughters sang background in that song they were young teens I knew them very well

Beautiful like a dream in the past 🐦

Always liked this song.

I remember as a kid hearing this song and also jazzman, in my mind's ear, when the rain stopped and the rainbows came out.

Or maybe i hummed these songs and then the rain stopped...

This and Been To Canaan top of my list for Carole! Awesome singer/writer

Ultimately.....one of her best....I thank my sister and brother for taking control of the stereo in the 70"s...now I cherish those years....thanks Jenny...R.I.P. Chris...Love y'all

💕💕🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎶

Genius.  Sounds just as good as it did when it was released.  Maybe better. LIke a fine wine.......

absolutely my go to song every morning. Bass line is amazing. I heard she wrote this about James Taylor. Anyone know for sure?

Does it even sound like it?

she did know them (carly simon and james taylor) not just professional. so it isn't a far leap to assume she used the people around her as inspiration for songs.  think back to carly simons you're  so vain about mick jagger. and of course neil sedaka used her as the inspiration for Oh Carole.

Hello, David Palmer from early Steely Dan wrote all the lyrics for the Wrap Around Joy album. He has talked about writing the album with her but never mentioned JT. At this point, I would say Taylor was way too young for this song to apply to him, but who knows.

My favorite Carol King song.

Dammit CVS

Dancing down the toothpaste aisle, sweet heavens!

Dancing Spiderman congrats. This may be one of the funniest comments I have ever read on youtube!!

Defines the word song

Winter/spring 1975 for another classy Carole King song. All her 70s music was classy and brings back memories of high school and college days long gone...

So those who are reading the book Nightbird, what do you think of the book? Just curious...

I'm also reading that book and couldn't continue til I heard this song!

I'm here because of the new book "The Night Bird". Gives an eerie feeling to this song...😳

The author, Brian and his wife are friends of mine!

Same same!

OsArR RiosF I stopped in the middle of a chapter to look it up. From now on this song will be forever creepy! However, I think I know who the killer is now.

Me, too! I forgot about this song. It was a favorite of mine. It's a strange choice for the killer. The Audible book was awful, btw. The narrator sure can't do women's voices, especially when they're scared! 😂

beautiful song

Love to hear Charles Larkey playing the bass, awesome job!

This song fucking RIPS.

Carole, thank you!

Carole King's best song  :)  :)  :)

the music artists of the 70's were talented and produced the best music. Todays music......pure CRAP

let alone understand what they're saying. it's like mumbling.

i love this women thank you ! you got a friend was my favorite!

Never fell bored listening Carole. She has magic.

I heard it so much in the seventies at Lima's radios!! I`ve never get tired and bored about to hear this song. in fact, it sounds every week in my car, specially when it is sunny!!! Nice lyrics, as personal as her music!!!

Wonder why your recording is jumpy. Even Jazzman is jumpy. Was it deliberate?

Born Carol Klein. Shalom, Carole (she's Jewish)!

+Dave Wollenberg  So what?

Condolences to Carole

Johnny D doesn't mean someone is racist because they said so what. Don't be so sensitive. Her great songwriting is not a function of her ethnicity. It would be like watching an Aretha Franklin song and saying how awesome it is because she is black. Or a Beatles song and saying this is awesome! They are white!

Changed her name in the early 50's due to the fact that a young Jewish girl probably would not have been taken seriously then.

Fantastic song that was a hit forty years ago this week.

Her daughter, Louise Goffin, sings back up on this song.

so does her other daughter, Sherry Goffin Kondor!

@Elissa Kline Yes, she does! I had forgotten about that!

So did I... no I didn't

and Abigale Haness doubling with Carole King's voice.

Abigale Haness is also singing background with Carole King's overdubbed voice.

this song is attached to some good memories.

I love this song but unfortunately it's not attached to good feelings.... sometimes I hate people

This song came out roughly five years before I was born and gets absolutely zero airplay today, and yet I LOVE it.  So beautiful, so touching.  WHY OH WHY can't music sound like this anymore??? 

+Christopher Bubb I heard this over the PA at the pharmacy  :)

Yes sir I agree with you completely. I've always felt the 70's were the best musical decade and the 60's certainly didn't suck but I'm sad to say I believe absolutely EVERYTHING good in music died after the year 2000. The 80's , even the 90's had their redeeming qualities but it was all gone with the turn of the century. How sad. Musically speaking I absolutely live in the past. Only place worth being

I, too, was in high school in the 1970s. and yet my favorite music from that era was much more vibrant, more akin to the tunes Carole King co-wrote with her first husband, Gerry Goffin, in the early-to-mid 1960s.

To me, the early-to-mid 1970s music was about David Bowie, T. Rex, Alice Cooper, Queen, Slade, Sweet (and glam rock in general), Rod Stewart and The Faces, Paul McCartney & Wings, two of The Rolling Stones best albums ("Sticky Fingers" and "Exile on Main Street"), The Stooges, The New York Dolls and Aerosmith, as well some cool soul music (Marvin Gaye, Al Green, The O'Jays, etc.). I also realize many younger persons then were big fans of Led Zeppelin, which never thrilled me very much, although I like a couple of Zeppelin's tunes.

The music from the latter part of the '70s decade was dominated by disco (The Bee Gees, K.C. & the Sunshine Band, Kool and the Gang, Chic, Sister Sledge, Tavares and Donna Summer, etc.) and punk rock (The Ramones, The Patti Smith Group, Blondie, The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Buzzcocks and The Undertones). And although I certainly had and have some disco in my music collection, even worked a few years at an actual disco (where both Gloria Gaynor and The Village People performed--the Mafia always get the acts they want), I was more a fan of punk rock at the time.

About the most mainstream pop music I still enjoy from the '70s is that of ABBA, although their music has been played by now to the point of overkill. But none of this mellow mush recorded in the '70s (and discussed in this comments space here) ever did a thing for me.

I think just about all good music was dead well before 2000. The only new music I really enjoyed in the 1990s was by Nirvana and The Strokes, plus whatever occasional music still being made by older acts (The Ramones, Blondie, Iggy Pop, etc.) by that point.

I don't get it either I heard it this summer in Vermont and it just took me back in a Flash Awesome song

Brilliant Carole King song!!

......And Boogie JohnBGoode, I sincerely hope that you get your hug......!

I love you, Carole.  This video shows your face when you were but a young, freckle-faced girl, and you're still gorgeous today.  Thanks for the simple joy you have given to all of us who are crazy-nuts about your music.........

How can so much love and beauty come from this adorable, freckle-faced little girl?

and people do not understand GREAT,BEAUTIFUL MUSIC these days

it is beauty in people nature

I honestly do not think I know a more beautiful song..
nuff said.......lets get married or hug at least

Hi! I'm Alex.I did -15 lbs last 7 days.Open adodiet.com

thanks so much! i'm so glad you enjoyed it!

What a great talent! I've loved Carole King from the early 70's. She's what stars are made of. AMAZING! This is real music, not the shit out there today.

i second that emotion!

This is such a great song from the '70's, that never got much airplay at the time. Carole King is such a great writer and singer. I am so glad that I grew up at the time to hear this kind of music. They certainly don't write or sing them like this anymore...

This hit by Carole King was the 247th #1 song on what is now Billboard's Adult Contemporary charts. It also hit #9 on the Top 40 charts.

you aare very welcome!

thnx for posting

A great song from Carole King! This was a featured track on "American Top 40 - The '70s" (from February 22nd, 1975), & was the #10 song.

Bravo, Carole King!
