Other reviewers have said that the artists here have done very good renditions of these familiar songs. Well, that is not strictly true. They are all competent renditions but half of them are not very good. If soulfully wailing your way through a number is regarded as good in your book then you might actually enjoy this album. But it's not an improvement. Carole's Tapestry album is a superb classic and, let's face it, it is almost impossible to improve on her original versions of those fine collection of songs. The artists concerned here seem to have wanted to impose their own twists to these numbers. Few have succeeded. Half the tracks are perfectly acceptable and half are just not up to standard. Carole King can sing in tune. After all, she wrote the tunes in the first place. Then along come a few practicioners of the soul sound, who cannot maintain a note, so they wobble through the song, destroying it in the process. I bought this album in the hope that as all the songs are excellent it would be hard to destroy them. Half these artists cannot cut the mustard, so I'm giving this effort just 2/5. Buy Carole King's original - it is much better.Read full review
This is a great CD. Unfortunately, the jacket was worn on the top right corner. It looked like an animal had chewed on it.

Bought this cd to get The Bee Gees cover of the song Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow. I do like all the other songs on it too. Received cd before the due date.

I love cover albums. They usually bring out the best in at artist. They have something to prove.

One of the best compilations of popular period songs in existence. We loved it! It's particularly poignant when played before or after Carole King's own album "Tapestry," showing the depth of King's fabulous talent and the many ways it's been displayed.
Great music, just as described

I would recommend this cd. I've always enjoyed Carole Kings music, so this cd caught my eye. When I listen to it, I like the songs and sing along, sometimes forgetting how I originaly knew them. I like the new ways the songs are done, not too far from the original but done very well.
Great music, super artists. Takes me back a few years, back when music had good feel about it. Easy to listen to and keeps you coming back for more.
All my old Carole King favorites sung by various artist who keep it simple. The songs are smooth and not "changed". You will recognize them as Carole King and in some cases wonder indeed, if she is not singing them. Great music, very relaxing.
I have always liked Carole King, so I felt sure I would enjoy the music. The music is comforting and nood setting.
