First Time On Vinyl
Carole King is the most successful female songwriter of the 20th century, having written or co-written 118 pop hits on the Billboard Hot 100 between 1955 and 1999. Carole King has won four Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for her songwriting. 'Love Makes The World' by Carole King was officially released in 2001 and is now finally available on vinyl for the first time. The album features a variety of well-known musicians like Babyface, Steven Tyler, Celine Dion, Wynton Marsalis and K.D. Lang. King's distinctive piano and heartfelt vocals belt out tunes with spare accompaniment. The string quartet on 'Uncommon Love' seems organically relaxed and K.D. Lang remains appropriately low-key throughout the duet. The yearning of 'You Will Find Me There' recalls the simple poetic honesty of 'You've Got a Friend' both lyrically and musically. 'Love Makes the World' is the classiest and most consistent collection of songs since the late 70s.
