Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13
Love is…

On this day in music history: June 19, 1971 - “Tapestry”, the second album by Carole King hits #1 on the Billboard Top 200 for 15 weeks. Produced by Lou Adler, it is recorded at A&M Studios in Hollywood, CA in January 1971. The prolific pop singer/songwriter’s second album will not only be her commercial breakthrough as an artist, but will represent a watershed moment for women in music in the years to come. The album will spin off three singles including the double A-sided hit “It’s Too Late/I Feel The Earth Move” (#1 Pop) and “So Far Away” (#14 Pop). “Tapestry” will also set records for the longest run at #1 on the Top 200 by a female artist(which will stand until 2011 when it is surpassed by Adele’s “21” album), and the largest selling album by a female artist (a record held until it is broken in 1996 by Alanis Morissette’s “Jagged Little Pill”). It will also win King three Grammy Awards including Record and Album Of The Year. She will also win a fourth Grammy that year for “You’ve Got A Friend”, and is the first solo female artist in Grammy history to win the Record and Song Of The Year prizes. “Tapestry” is certified 10x Platinum in the US, receiving a Diamond certification from the RIAA. The album was also inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame in 1998.
