She deserves it not because of her singing which is enthusiastic, but because of her extraordinary songwriting. When I first realised that she had written stuff I had always presumed was composed before her time by others eg Up On The Roof, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, Take Good Care Of My Baby, It Might As Well Rain Until September, Go Away Little Girl, Chains, A Natural Woman, One Fine Day, I’m Into Something Good, I Can’t Stay Mad At You, The Locomotion, You’ve Got A Friend, etc etc I realised she had occupied a place way above all else. And the3se are just a few that others made her compositions into hits. Instinctively Burt Bacharach might have been ahead but he is two ie with Hal David. So you divide his score by two and therefore Carol wins on points. I don’t think she was the best singer of her own songs but her compositions musicality reigns supreme. So, a contender for headlining act at CoolerGlasto has to be Carol King singing her own songs on Pyramid Stage is a sublime submission. 🙂 Jeff Carol King wasn’t alone on her earlier material. She wrote the music with Gerry Goffin writing lyrics, until she went out on her own. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissSophia Posted July 1 #20904 Share Posted July 1 TTS….you’re so right about being able to know the words to every song….so much more pleasurable for one…. So many of the great artists of our time that could grace the stage…Beach Boys, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Annie Lennox…. Can’t get my head around all this modern music or dancing they do now! I’m a 50/60’s gal…😊 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story was he fell out with Eavis and never played and wasn’t bothered about Glasto anyway. That might have been the very best night of all Glastos. Think Band Aid +++ Jeff Edited July 1 by UKCruiseJeff 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tothesunset Posted July 1 #20918 Share Posted July 1 (edited) For Cooler Glasto may I put in a word for The Carpenters. Not only did Richard pen some catchy tunes but Karen had, surely, the pre-eminent voice of her generation. A few get close - Annie Lennox maybe, Eve Cassidy perhaps - but nobody can match that soaring, smokey purity. I'm not alone. Paul McCartney thinks so too!

He - few liked. She everyone loved and it turned out everyone wanted to protect her. She has the most wonderful of voices. Have you heard Rumer? When I first heard her I thought it was new Karen tracks. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those sausage vans. All those joss sticks. Still. It will be a great event of which us Coolers should be proud. Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
