Carole King – It’s Too Late

“It’s Too Late” by Carole King – US vinyl single; picture is also used for the “I Feel the Earth Move” side and the parent album Tapestry. Released April 16, 1971.

Carole King wrote this with Toni Stern, a free-spirited painter and lyricist from Los Angeles who complemented King very well. Said Stern: “I’m sure there was a California quality in me that appealed to Carole. She was moving from a familial, middle class lifestyle to Laurel Canyon, where she started to let her hair down, literally and figuratively. We worked off our contrasts.”

This was released as the B-side to “I Feel the Earth Move.” After a few weeks of continuous airplay with “I Feel the Earth Move,” many DJs all over the States decided to give “It’s Too Late” an equal amount of airplay. Soon, it came to the point where everyone preferred “It’s Too Late,” which ended up topping the charts by May of 1971. “I Feel the Earth Move” never charted.

This song won a Grammy for Record Of The Year in 1972. In addition, her song “You’ve Got a Friend” won a Grammy for Song Of The Year, and her album Tapestry won Grammys for Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female.
