Early Years, The - Carole King

Advantages: Excellent singing, songs and music
Disadvantages: none

...Everyone who is a fan of music would usually tell you that Carole King's Tapestry is among their favorites. It is an album that has held high regard from fans and peers alike since its release in 1971. It received awards, and praise and sold millions over these 30 plus years.
