The Bear never fails to introduce us to gems such as this!

One of the first times I met Carole at a party, we were sitting around just chatting. I told her I was surprised to be having a conversation with someone who wrote, or co-wrote, some of the songs that kind of helped define our generation. She smiled and said, "I am just a fireman's daughter from Brooklyn".

Just saw this was recorded the month my wife and I married. One of our first purchases was Tapestry. Wore out the album. It was kind of the soundtrack of our early years of marriage. Just celebrated 51.

It felt like an improvisation of her own song. She was feeling every note of it.

My neighbor's teen-aged son and I worked part-time at a big brand store so his parents asked me to bring him home after work. So often on the ride home he often heard carole king's music being played because as a Gen x-er, I grew up on carole king's songs. So during the Christmas season, while playing carole king's Christmas cd, he asked me for some of her cds since he liked her voice becaue it calmed him down So that Christmas and every after , he always gets a different carole king cd for Christmas from me and it's really a joy to have the opportunity to expose a new generation of people to the beauty of carole king's music. Peace.

2021 and "Up on the roof" is probably a safe place. Cheers

"Up on the roof/ Everything is all right". Beautiful song.

So many of us have been there. But never been up on the roof. Carole King took us there. Beautiful song from a beautiful person.

Greatest female song writer ever.

A timeless beautiful song

Nobody covers Carole King songs better than Carole King.

Is there any singer more beautiful and talented? I THINK NOT!

Carol makes the earth move under our feet without the quake! 🤭🎶✳️💙 "A Tapestry for Life`~"

Beautiful music and person!

Her eyes are beautiful.

I remember going out my window and sitting on the roof. Just look at the stars and leave the world behind! You are such a talented writer!

Inspirational. Healing. Our world is betterthrough Carole King's musical talents and words of wisdom. Tapestry a lovely piece of art, as all her albums. Carole's interviews lift our spirits. Carole reminds us all of our unique gifts & good within. Carole your songs & wise words helped me through a painful week. Bless you. Congrats on your well deserved 2021 Oct Induction to Rock N Roll Hall of Fame!

Carole King and Gerry Goffin wrote so many great songs for other artists. When she made her own album Tapestry, it was a genuine classic and should be in every music lover's collection.

Why do people want a star like this`s signature? If I met Carol id give her flowers and thank her for the endless hours of musical utopia that ave helped me through hard times and good times, I would just like to thank her for all her music.

Carole, lovable, embraceable person. How to put in music and words our souls, relationships, stories.......omg

音に温かみがあって良い。ビートルズに無い点。私のスーパーヒーロー！いつまでもお元気で！

Cannot find a better musician and voice, she is the greatest.

How ironic. Up on the roof, while I go down the rabbit hole. The rabbit hole of searching everything that is Carole King. And having so much fun.

I think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written! Truly inspired!!

She was so talented singer/song writer/performer/musician. Tapestry was The Greatest Of All Time. Down to earth humble legend, Carole King. Back in the day when performers would actually smile, and bow, and say thank you to the audience.

absolutely killing it with those vocals and that piano playing

I watched the Carole King and James Taylor concert on CNN last night. I started to cry when the performed this song. It reminded me of my dad. I had no idea Carole wrote the lyrics. My dad and I listened to the Drifters. What a great song. I miss my dad so much

So pure, so innocent! Thanks Carole!

OMG.. beast female singer since recording has been done

Such a gifted composer. I love her music.

gonna watch this 900k more times, because i can't believe it doesn't have at least a million views

What an earth Angel looks and sounds like 😇

love this, i still need to hear, a voice that cares

This song brings back great memories! My dearest friend lived in Philly on 3rd and Bainbridge back in 2017-2020 and we would go up to the roof. We would bring some food, beers or wine, cushions, a blanket,and the Oontz Bluetooth speaker. A great view of the city skyline and sky. Such wonderful memories!!!! I'll cherish them always. ❤

As an ex-musician with a degree in music, I think that's one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard! Brava!!

BBC amazing recording, preserving the performance of a legend forever

when i listen to this version i cant help getting teary when i listen to the drifters i cant help smiling

I love that this is here. You can listen to her arrangement over and over again. Thank you.

When this old world starts getting me down And people are just too much for me to face I climb way up to the top of the stairs And all my cares just drift right into space On the roof, the only place I know Where you just have to wish to make it so Oh-oh, let's go up on the roof At night the stars put on a show for free And darling, you can share it all with me I keep a-tellin' you Right smack dab in the middle of town I've found a paradise that's trouble proof So if this world starts getting you down There's room enough for two Up on the roof Up on the roof Everything is alright, Up on the roof Oh, come on, baby Come on, come on, come on, now darling Up on the roof Oh, everything is alright Everything is alright Everything is alright Up on the roof

You are totally awesome! Your music and vocals are timeless! Thank you for your talent.

Beautiful music.

Great natural talent. Love her songs.

♩🎶🎵🎼🎹🎹🖒🖒🖒👏👏🎙🎤👌👌💯✔...BEAUTIFUL !!!!! No more words

UNA GRANDE CAROL KING !!!! bellos recuerdos de mi juventud

What a beautiful song, I love it... And what a beautiful concert too!

A beautiful Brill Building song.

Hello (: Beautiful Carole, beautiful song and Messege. It was recorded when I was less then a year old and in my life, I feel relate to it and had long hours on the roof, receiving sun and fresh air. Thank you for your art work and who knows, maybe we’ll meet one day. 💗

Thanks so much. I’ve listened to her all day long. 😘😊

I was born too late. I love Carole King.

Love her- and the music just kept coming

Esta es musica , arte , todo Maravilloso !!!!!

I remember those days up on the roof climbed out my bedroom window and looked at the stars happy Easter 🌹🐇

A genius of music and a wonderful and beautiful woman

Soulful and warm. I am a Catholic priest and I stand in awe before the gift God gave to this Jewish woman. For me there is some wonderful message there. Every single person and nation encloses a precious gift of God and I give thanks.

I just heard the version that her and James Taylor did on their 2020 colaboration album. They crossed over both versions, using the original keys and composition structure. A very cool version indeed.

I LOVE this song! and CK's version is WONDERFUL

When I was kid I always go to my grandparents house go to the 2nd floor climb off the window and just sit on the tin roof magical times

As a kid I'd listen to radio all day (the TV was usually broken. Waiting for a valve to arrive) this is one of the first songs that imaged in my head. Kenny lynch was singing it then. I must have been 3-4. If it was played on my last ever listen it would be OK with me..

Simply fabulous!

drift right into space up on the roof the best place to be it is exactly as she is says me to up on the roof when things are getting you down a whole different view and feeling try it and think of this song

Carole sings it just as well as the original composers of the song!!

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️

Shivers!

Happy Birthday!

Gracias por contestar dios los bendiga a todos me encanta su trabajo feliz año sea de bendicion para uds desde chile

God like genius

Carole is so Modest.

Carole, I love your style of piano playing, with those suspended chords. I think it's similar to Elton John, but better!!

🎶🎼💞

I've listened to this more than a million times never ever knowing that the incomparable Miss Laura Nyro wrote this smash hit but it could have very well been written by Miss Carole King because both these women are and were phenomenal song writer's lyricist pianist and musician's❤❤❤❤❤ ❤

I often wonder if Carole and Neil Sedaka , would have stayed together, what wonderful music would have emerged. They didn't do badly on their own , I have to say.

I play this song. She does it better.

Beyond brilliant, but I much prefer it fast the way she and the Drifters performed it originally.

Beautiful! I still prefer Laura Nyro interpretation. Two great composers/singers!!

🥲

S

Love Carole King but I much prefer Springsteen's take on it. There's a feeling of escapism in the lyrics and the Boss makes it come out and breath.

LAURA NYRO composer

Use to be, yes very nice. Made lots of money. Sold many records recorded by the Differs. Now I see the world like Nuclear Doomsday up on the roof or where ever won't matter

I really wonder how many people actually realize this classic song was written by Laura Nyro? Laura Nyro ? Yea, search her on the internet and look at how many SENSATIONAL Songs she wrote which were made famous by other bands / groups- you'll be shocked! Go ahead and give Laura Nyro HER DUE !!

What has it to do with being Jewish! SMH

When this old world starts getting me down And people are just too much for me to face I climb way up to the top of the stairs And all my cares just drift right in to space On the roof it's peaceful as can be And there the world below can't bother me Let me tell you now When I come home feelin' tired and beat I go up where the air is fresh and sweet I get away from the hustling crowds And all that rat race noise down in the street On the roof's the only place I know Where you just have to wish to make it so Oh, let's go up on the roof At night the stars put on a show for free And darling, you can share it all with me I keep a-telling you Right smack dad in the middle of town I found a paradise that's trouble free So if this world starts getting you down there's room enough for two up on the roof Up on the roof Everything is all right Oh, come on baby

Beautiful! I still prefer Laura Nyro interpretation. Two great composers/singers!!
