Tapestry @ 50

On February 10th, 2021, Carole King’s zeitgeist shifting album, "Tapestry", celebrated its 50th anniversary. The 13 x platinum and 4 x Grammy winning album has defined the singer songwriter genre, touching audiences around the globe for generations. "Tapestry's" music struck a universal chord, topping the Billboard 200 for 15 weeks and staying on the chart for 6 years.

Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, will be releasing new content throughout February to celebrate the album’s anniversary. On February 12th, Legacy Recordings will be reissuing "Tapestry" on black vinyl. Produced and distributed by Lou Adler on his Ode Record’s label in 1971, the black vinyl version of "Tapestry" features the original photo and package design, and uses the Ode logos on the label and inner sleeve. February will also see the digital release of the previously unreleased single "Out In The Cold," a new music video for "It’s Too Late", and more.

To kick off a month of celebration, on February 5th, Legacy Recordings released “Out In The Cold”, a single recorded during the "Tapestry" sessions that ultimately did not make it onto the album. While the song was included as a bonus track on a 1999 CD reissue, it has never been available digitally until now.

Later in February, Legacy Recordings will be premiering a BBC live studio performance recorded in 1971. The performance features James Taylor on guitar, and includes live performances of “I Feel The Earth Move”, “(You Make Me Feel) Like A Natural Woman”, “So Far Away”, “It’s Too Late”, “Will You Love Me Tomorrow”, and more.

Released the day after King’s 29th birthday, "Tapestry's" songs are woven into the fabric of pop culture. With iconic tracks like “(You Make Me Feel) Like A Natural Woman” and “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” this is the album that cemented King’s reputation as the quintessential singer songwriter, defining a new generation of music. Since its release, influential artists like Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, Quincy Jones, and more have covered songs from the album.
