I rented some CDs which were "In the Land of Grey and Pink by CARAVAN", "Tapestry by Carole King" and "Kitto Daijobu by Arashi" yesterday.
The August issue of Eikaiwa-Jokyu introduced one of songs of Carole King. The title was "So far away". I knew that song but I was very impressed anew by it. So I rented her album "Tapestry". It was one of the greatest hits in U.S.. It kept the NO.1 for 15 weeks in the album section and stayed in the top 100 for 6 years! That was amazing, wasn't it? I also like many songs of this album. I really didn't know that Carole had offered him a song, because they were close friends.The song name was "You've got a friend".
昨日、キャラバンの「In the Land of Grey and Pink」、キャロル・キングの「Tapestry」そして 嵐の「きっと大丈夫」を借りてきました。
英会話上級の8月号がキャロル・キングの歌を紹介してまして。そのタイトルが「So far away」。 私、この歌を知っていましたが、改めて感動しました。それで彼女のアルバム、「Tapestry」を借りてきたというわけです。
私はキャロルとジェームズ・テイラーが親友で、彼女が彼に歌を提供したと言うことを知りませんでした。その曲名は「You've got a friend」。
