Looking beyond herTapestry album, which is included, the songs range from 1960s hit songs written with then husband Gerry Goffin, up to about 1981. I checked all the songs online, almost all of them have been, if not recorded by Carole King herself, then recorded and made into a hit by other recording artists.
For example Chains, Halfway to Paradise, Keep your hands off my baby were covered by The Beatles.
Locomotion was made a number one hit by her former babysitter Little Eva who she heard singing around the house, and was attempting to master this dance. Also, number one for Grand Funk Railroad in 1974.
Up on the Roof, covered by the Drifters and James Taylor.
Being at war with each other was covered by Barbra Streisand.
Some kind of wonderful covered by Rod Stewart and Michael Buble.
Crying in the rain, a huge hit for the Everly Brothers and Aha.
Take good care of my Baby, a number one for Bobby Vee.
One Fine Day, a hit for The Chiffons.
It boasts one of her greatest tracks Jazzman, and other well known songs such as Corazon, Hard Rock Cafe, Sweet Season, Believe in Humanity, Brother Brother.
Go away little girl, a number one hit for Donny Osmond, and for Steve Lawrence.
Oh no, not my baby Rod Stewart
Wasn't born to follow, covered by The Byrds in the movie Easy Rider.
Hey Girl, covered by Billy Joel.
If you're like me, I think you will really enjoy playing the songs in this book. The more you play the better you get. It's almost like hearing the actual record as you play along. Really, this is a great book.
If you want to get more of her music I recommend The Dimension Dolls, (as an mp3 download), and A Natural Woman: The Ode Collection 1968-1976, which has all her best songs from 1968-1976 including Tapestry in sequence. Most of those songs are in this book.
If you really want to pick up her unique piano voicing and styling, I recommend you consider The Carole King Keyboard Book: Note-for-Note Keyboard Transcriptions (Keyboard Recorded Versions), which includes the entire Tapestry album, Jazzman and several other solo hits.
If you are performing live, you definitely want to get her intros, turnarounds and fill ins, exactly as recorded, and it also has different vocal parts written in.
I wonder if this was helpful.
