Carole King is a great songwriter, and it shows in the number of staying hits on this album--even those that were popularized by other artists like Aretha Franklin. There were a few moments where I thought that a song might've been better served by a different vocalist. Some of the heavier songs would've benefited from a more powerful belter in my opinion. That's more personal preference than a criticism, though. King's voice is still great and doesn't detract from any of the performances.
