you've got a friend


It was Carole King's birthday yesterday. I love her: she wrote the theme to Gilmore Girls, and some of the coolest songs from the 60s and 70s. Will You Love Me Tomorrow for The Shirelles; Porpoise Song for The Monkees; One Fine Day; You've Got a Friend; (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman for Aretha. Her song Where You Lead is the theme song for Gilmore Girls, and she even appeared on the show a few times as a grumpy music store owner/mentor to Lane. I've never listened to her album Tapestry, but I am kinda digging the cat, paisley curtain and frizzy hair combo.
