Carole King

Carole King's photo: Engineer Hank Cicalo shared with me his recollections of the Tapestry sessions at A & M Studios... "I always put the players where everyone could see each other. Your piano was in the middle of the room, with the drums where you could see them and the drummer could see you. I put everyone around you in a semicircle so everyone could see you because you conducted with your head. I always changed the control room lighting for the mood of the song and I did the same with the lighting in the studio." I never knew any of that. p. 211 From "A Natural Woman"
