Happy Anniversary, Carole King

This year marks the 50th Anniversary of Carole King's award winning, generation defining album "Tapestry."
In 1971, so many teenaged girls like me wanted to be just like Carole King. I studied the image on the album cover and imagined myself with long, curly hair and faded jeans, seated in the window and serenely gazing at the world. I played “Tapestry” so many times, I’m sure I wore down the record’s grooves. I sang along to “You’ve Got a Friend” and “So Far Away.” I danced around the house to “I Feel the Earth Move.”
That’s the way it is with the “soundtrack of our lives.” A piece of music will touch our hearts, lift our spirits, and transport us to a place where we imagine the life of our dreams.
How about you? What music provides the soundtrack to your life?
