Giveaway: A Natural Woman: Carole King’s memoir

BY Kevin Lee Jacobs | April 12, 2012 233 Comments

I FELL IN LOVE WITH CAROLE KING IN 1971, when her brilliant album Tapestry was released. And since that time I’ve purchased each of her solo albums, beginning with Writer (1970) and ending (so far) with Love Makes The World (2000). So is it any wonder that I bought A Natural Woman, Carole’s just-published memoir? Of course I bought a copy for you, too. Would you like a chance to win it in this month’s random drawing?

Carole’s musical career began well before Tapestry. In the 1960s, she wrote a colossal number of hits with Gerry Goffin, her first husband (pictured above). Ever heard the Shirelles “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?” They wrote it. They also wrote “Go Away Little Girl” (Steve Lawrence), “One Fine Day” (The Chiffons), “Hey, Girl” (Freddie Scott), “Chains” (The Beatles), “Take Good Care of My Baby” (Bobby Vee), “The LocoMotion” (Little Eva, Grand Funk Railroad and others), “Pleasant Valley Sunday”, “Some Time in the Morning,” and “Porpoise Song” (The Monkees), and “Natural Woman” (Aretha Franklin).

As an environmentalist, Carole has lobbied congress for more than 20 years to get congress to pass the Northern Rockies Eco-System Protection Act (NREPA). The bill seeks to preserve some of America’s most beautiful and ecologically important lands. Yeah, she’s a hero to many of us.

Several years ago I was lucky enough to meet (and even hug!) Carole, and to thank her for both her music and her tireless environmental work. I can tell you she is a beautiful person both inside and out.

For a chance to win Carole’s memoir, A Natural Woman, do these two simple things:

1. Subscribe (if you haven’t already) to my weekly email newsletter.
2. In the comments field below, mention at least one of your favorite Carole King songs.

Enter soon! This random drawing expires on Thursday, April 19, 2012 at 11:59 PM EST. As always, I’ll use the little number gadget at www.Random.org to select the winner. The winner will be notified by email.

    It’s a toss up between “So Far Away” or “Where You Lead”…but it so difficult to choose from such a wonderful album…

    I enjoy all Carol’s music, and watching her and James Taylor on the Public tv. AS a young girl she gave me inspriation and hope.
    The song “you’ve got a friend” was indeed what I needed to get me thru the teen trials and tribulations. I envision the “friend” in the song to be that og God and always know i am comforted and care for.
    Thank you so much.

    I grew up listening to Carole King.She inspired my development in those crucial teenage years.I loved her vocals and her style.I love “Its too late”,from her “Tapestry album”.Carole has an uplifting aura.

    I’ve waited a long, long time for Carole to write her memoir. Where do I begin with my favorite CK songs? I’m bored with everything from Tapestry, but love everything from “Music,” including “It’s Going To Take Some Time”. From Rhymes and Reasons, my favorite track is “I Think I Can Hear You.” Everything on Fantasy is great! Same goes for Thoroughbred, although I’m partial to “High Out of Time,” with Crosby, Stills & Nash doing background vocals. Still love the title track from Simple Things, and “Morning Sun” from Welcome Home. And I could go on and on, but won’t!

  15. 15

    Erica says

    April 12, 2012 at 4:21 pm

    Sweet Seasons from Music, and Been to Canaan from Rhymes & Reasons. (Hard to name just one song!)

  16. 16

    Sue says

    April 12, 2012 at 4:23 pm

    When I was a kid, my parents bought me Really Rosie. So I’d have to say “Pierre.” But everything on that record is great, and I still remember the words to all of them!

    April 12, 2012 at 5:11 pm

    “So Far Away.” The piano, the flute, Carole’s soulful voice…just mesmerizing.

    April 12, 2012 at 5:48 pm

    I love “So Far Away” (I hear it clearly in my mind just thinking about it). I was in my later years of high school when I fell in love with her music. She has an amazing and beautiful voice. I would love to read this book.

    Gil McAninch says

    Luis says

    April 13, 2012 at 6:09 am

    “You’ve got a friend” is my favorite Carole King song. Especially when her and James Taylor sang it together during his PBS tribute.

    Melissa Landon says

    April 13, 2012 at 9:11 am

    It is pretty difficult to pick just one song, Like many others here, listening to she and James Taylor is mesmerizing,,,,,Natural Woman is one of my favs….but so are so many others,

  24. 24

    Tris says

    April 13, 2012 at 9:43 am

    Holy cow, Kevin! There is NO way to pick just one. Like another further up, I’ll have to go with the entire Tapestry album. Carole is a fantastic song writer and one of my very favorites right up there with JT. Ok…now I’ve got “Way Over Yonder” running through my head. Thanks for the chance to win!

  25. 25

    Connie says

    Natural Woman! I was not a big Murphy Brown watcher but who didn’t see her sing this to her new baby on the show? It’ s such a powerful song and after considering it in that light it stuck w/ me. Years later I had my own babies and with each one I danced around the kitchen w/ new babe on my shoulder to Natural Woman. I wonder if they’ll subliminally think warmly of that song some day. : )

    Like being asked to pick a favorite child, haha. If I HAD to name one, Up on the Roof sure comes to mind. Of course, you’ve got a friend is going through my head now… She sure is terrific.

    I purposely did not read other comments yet as I didn’t want to be influenced ;), but now will go up and enjoy what your fun readers have shared. Love that girl!

    I love Carol King’s music. When I was in 6th grade, I brought her album to share with my class. The teacher stored it in her desk. When I went to go home that afternoon, someone had taken it. I was crushed!
    My favorite song is ‘I Can See Clearly Now’
    I love your blog and enjoy reading the many topics you write about. Thanks for sharing.

    “Up On The Roof”has always been a favorite of mine for it’s upbeat and melodic appeal, but also for the strong sense memory that it evokes. When I was younger, growing up in NY, the roof tops of apartment buildings truly were a place that you could escape. Carole King (and I believe she co-wrote this with james Taylor) managed to describe this experience of living in a crowded, busy, noisy place where space was limited, yet there was this secret place you could go where space was plentiful and you could be all alone. Even though I now live in a house, going “Up On The Roof” still symbolizes a refuge–a place where one can go and be with their thoughts, escape the stress of the day and turn things around.

  52. 52

    teresa sopher says

    April 15, 2012 at 10:58 am

    I’ve always loved Carole. My top two favorites would have to be “Tapestry” and “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow”. The older I get, the more I enjoy listening to the entire “Tapestry” album.

  55. 55

    Verilee Herpich says

    A Night This Side of Dying.

    It’s a song that is so true. Miss. Carole got the total
    drug craz so right. Well written, and well sung. Well rembrred.
    Wish it had gotten the AirPlay that the love songs had gotten.
    maybe, just maybe 1 person would have heard it and been steered
    clear of drug use.

    April 15, 2012 at 11:17 am

    Listening to Tapestry instantly takes me back to high school, and more recently, watching the Gilmore Girls with my daughter, who became a CK fan from that show. You’ve Got A Friend, So Far Away and Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow rank high on the list of my favs. I would love to read her book. 🙂

  62. 62

    Miki Holden says

    I fell in love with my husband of 50 yrs. to the song “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow”. The Tapestry album was by far, my favorite album. And guess what…..he still loves me! So many wonderful songs and memories. I truly love all her songs and still sing along!

    Kevin, I just recently subscribed to your newsletter and have enjoyed it very much. I am determined to try the mozzarella cheese recipe. Keep up the good work!

    Carole King’s Tapestry album is my all time favorite album, bar none. Hard to pick a favorite tune but “So Far Away” always resonates with me since I spent years living out of a suitcase when I was on the road full time playing music.

  75. 75

    sue greene says

    April 15, 2012 at 12:12 pm

    Carole King’s music has been a big part of the soundtrack of my life! But who can pick a favorite? Different song speak to me at different moments……nothing like getting housework done with “Locomotion” in the background- “You’ve got a friend” when I’m feeling melancholy, “Way Over Yonder” when I need a stamina infusion.

  76. 76

    Barbara Wilton says

    April 15, 2012 at 12:22 pm

    April 15, 2012 at 12:42 pm

    Talk about ‘subliminally thinking warmly’ about Carole King’s songs….I’m 49 now and when I read several of the song names above the songwords and tunes spilled off my lips like remembering the answer to the question, “what’s your mother’s maiden name?”
    I was 10 years old when I listened to her Tapestry album. And listened, and listened…..for some reason I had a lot of time alone and her voice seeped into me like the Baby Oil we used on our skin when we baked in the sun’s rays of summer !! Oooooch!
    Just didn’t realize how much a part of my personal fabric her voice and lyrics are. Feels like I know every phrase of every song on Tapestry (and many other songs of hers besides). Pretty neat feeling…now I think I’ll go look up a few of those songs and have a memoryfest this fine sunny weekend afternoon! Thanks!

  86. 86

    Laurie Rice says

    April 15, 2012 at 1:07 pm

    Without a doubt, “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow.” Time to pull all the Carole King music out to relive those beautiful memories.

    Vicki says

    April 15, 2012 at 1:08 pm

    The entire “Tapestry” album is full of my favorite songs! But if I had to choose one or two, “You’ve Got a Friend” would be right up there, as would “Natural Woman,” “Far Away,”… (if I keep listing my favorites, I am going to list the entire album and more….)… I used to sing a lot of her songs when I was a regular at The Nameless Coffeehouse in Cambridge in the late 1960’s and early 70’s. Genius singer/songwriter, one of the best EVER!

  88. 88

    Judy says

    April 15, 2012 at 1:14 pm

    I’m going to have to say “You’ve Got A Friend”, it seems to say it all….Thanks for your page and for the chance to win Carole’s memoir!

  89. 89

    Linda McGrath says

    April 15, 2012 at 1:21 pm

    This is like picking your favorite kid! I guess “It’s too late baby” tied with “Will you love me tomorrow”! Thanks for the nudge to go put on my “Tapestry” cassette! I’ll keep my fingers crossed !

    What an amazing woman…and I don’t use that word often. Tapestry was my first LP, and I played it through a lot of rough times. It’s timeless, relevant, and a work of word art. “Will You Love Me Tomorrow” is my favorite, although each song brings back such good memories.

    I too have been a follower of Carole King and her music. My favorite song is “Will You Love
    Me Tomorrow?” But all her songs are wonderful. She just has a beautiful way of performing.
    I’ve been a fan since the beginning of she popularity.

    Carole King is such an amazing singer/songwriter! Like so many here, I’ve spend literally hundreds of hours listening to the Tapestry album – and adore her classics like A Natural Woman, Still Love Me Tomorrow, Up on the Roof and You’ve Got a Friend …

    Still, I think my most favorite song on that album IS “Tapestry” (I think Teresa GAGNE #38 above) described it perfectly “richly textured….” Another lesser known treasure is (So Glad You Are a) “Child of Mine.”

    I fell in love with Carole King’s music in the early 70’s. When I want to relax and meditate I’ll light a nice candle and pour myself a glass of wine and put on the Tapestry album. But my all time favorite is “I feel the Earth Move”.

    Oh’ my gosh. How can anyone just pick one. To start with, It’s too late, To Far Away and I Feel the earth move. Shoot – I LOVE the whole Tapestry album. I still remember the day my sister bought it. I was about 11 and I turned 52 yesterday. Was that really 41 years ago? This would be the best birthday present!

    “Tapestry” came out when I was in college. I listen to it now on CD with the same appreciation as I did when I bought it in vinyl. It is timeless. My favorite 70s CK tune is “It’s Too Late.” My favorite CK composition from the 60s is “Take Good Care of My Baby” sung by Bobbie Vee. What a fabulous talent Carole is!

    My very favorite song? Wow…my father dedicated “You’ve got a Friend” to me when I was 10 and my parents were divorced. He passed when I was 22 years old, and think of him any time this song plays anywhere…”Tapestry” is one of my all time anywhere favorite songs by anyone, and “Pleasant Valley Sunday” IS my anthem about life in suburbia growing up, (not to mention the Monkees and my infatuation with Davy Jones, who just passed, who when I hear “Sometime in the Morning”, I just about sob!). “Where You lead, I will follow” is my dedication song to my husband of 21 years (together for 25 years)…”Really Rosie” helped me in the years of growing up to be as feminist as I felt, “Chicken Soup with Rice” I sang to my daughter when she would be sick as a baby…So, how do I choose? It’s hard to say which song I would place as my absolute favorite…you see?

    Colette says

    I’m glad someone else mentioned the Really Rosie album. When we took road trips with the kids that was in the tape player. My favorite song from that album might be I’m Really Rosie, but I can’t think of a CK song I don’t love. Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow always takes me back to happy/sad times in my youth.

    Talk about a touch chore!! Pick just ONE Carole King song. Hmmm For me it would come down to “So Far Away”. Has special meaning to me from my days of youth. I saw my friends from school growing up, getting careers, married and leaving. “Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore.” has crossed my mind often over the years. Don’t know if I’ll wait to win it. This could be one for my tiny library.

    Bette K says

    April 16, 2012 at 1:08 am

    Like so many others I don’t know which one to pick. As I read through all the choices before mine I relized that she has provided the soundtrack of my life. I grew up on Pleasant Valley Dr and always swore the song was about my neighborhood. In college Tapestry defined me. When relationships ended it was So Far Away. Now my life is Natural Woman.
    I think I’ll just spend the rest of the night listining to Carol in my head.

    I love them all, but Up On the Roof really takes me to a place of quiet and solitude that we all need. It’s so great when she performs it with James Taylor. I also love Child of Mine and Chicken Soup with Rice (with Maurice Sendak) from Really Rosie. Child of Mine so speaks to the way I see my son.

    I got to see her perform when she was campaigning with John Kerry a few years ago. She definitely does

    I love the album Tapestry! In fact, I first started to study English with Carole King’s songs. Later, I bought the CD but I ended up loosing it when I moved from Africa to the States. My favourite song is “It’s too late”. I also love “So far away” ! It felt as if it was written for me. “You’ve got a friend” is also among my favourite ones but I think it is a James Taylor’s song? My apologies if I am mistaken.

    CK and I are the same age. Her music helped me thru many times, up and down. The song that came to mind: “I feel the earth move under my feet…” A title for a song: “will you love me tomorrow?”

    Tapestry is obviously very popular even today which is wonderful. It was a life altering album for me. ‘So Far Away’ was probably my favorite off that album however I really love ‘You’ve Been Around Too Long’ from another album, title escapes me.
    I notice that over the years and on here, people mix up Carly Simon songs with Carol Kings.
    Anyways, love you site, keep up the great work.

    Imagine a 17-year old writing “Will You Love Me Tomorrow?” What a genius! That will always be my favorite. Incidentally, Carole played the (kettle?) drums during that recording.

    Hey Kevin, I basically lost my virginity to “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” on the Tapestry album. Fave song one.
    Fave song two would be “You’ve Got a Friend.”
    Wasn’t Tapestry the number one selling album of all time until Thriller came out?

    I love most of Carole’s songs but the one that keeps me sane living on the other side of the world from family & friends is ‘You’ve Got a Friend’…even across the miles I have been able to stand beside my friends & they are always in my thoughts…I’ll come running – even if it is metaphorically at the moment 🙂

    I love Carole King, so it’s hard to pick just one favorite. “Beautiful” has lyrics that I think about frequently–you’ve got to get up every morning, with a smile on your face, and show the world all the love in your heart– but the same can be said of so many of her songs.

    I lived my life in HS through the music of Carole King. I was confident her music was written just for me! Natural Woman was one of my favorites, but everything she sang was amazing and is timeless.

    Thanks again

    Pick my favorite Carole King song; that is a little difficult. I like them all so much. I guess it must be “One Fine Day.”

    Carole and Goffin cheated Little Eva on the Locomotion. She only got
    an increase in her babysitting salary. She never got ANY rights to her
    artistic interpretation and raised 3 kids on welfare and died destitute
    in 2003. Thats fair and moral, right?

    Happilly I found your website! Thank you; I love it! Sadly, my ex-husband passes away last month. We fell in love to all the songs on Tapestry. And even though we parted ways, each time I hear one of those songs… I briefly (thank God because I’ve remarried), fall in love with him all over again! LOL Her music moves me, touches my soul, and takes me back to a place and time, I never knew was so precious until it was “Too Late, Baby”.

    I realize this is an old post, but I just found your blog. LOVE IT by the way! I would say hands down, “Child of Mine” . Years ago, My daughters school had an event for mothers day went, and they played this song, now I had never heard of it, I went home and immediately researched to find it. It brought tears to my eyes, I think of that some a lot and the impact it had on me as a mother. That’s all, just thought I’d share!

    I like the song “Now and Forever” by Carole King. Also I have bees and they were doing well today here in the bitter cold in Denver. Thanks for the article about Clothianin. Europe also banned Roundup to help the bees. Thanks. Annie

    I grew up listening to and love Carol King and especially TAPESTRY, and as a writer and former English professor, I am still amazed at the depth and volume of her songwriting ability. However, that said, hers is the saddest memoir/bio I’ve ever read. She let so many people take advantage of her and throughout the book her life just sort of wanders around. Such a talent, but I can’t recomment this book.
