Said Stern: "I'm sure there was a California quality in me that appealed to Carole. She was moving from a familial, middle class lifestyle to Laurel Canyon, where she started to let her hair down, literally and figuratively. We worked off our contrasts."

Stern would usually agonize over lyrics, but she wrote these very quickly. Stern also worked with King on the Tapestry track "Where You Lead."

This intimate song is a great example of the singer/songwriter sound that King helped popularized.

Over a moody melody, King sings about how she realizes her once-promising relationship is over. While she's putting on a brave face, she's feeling tormented inside.

This was released as the B-side to "I Feel the Earth Move." After a few weeks of continuous airplay with "I Feel the Earth Move," many DJs all over the States decided to give "It's Too Late" an equal amount of airplay.

Soon, it came to the point where everyone preferred "It's Too Late," which ended up topping the charts by May of 1971. "I Feel the Earth Move" never charted.

In the "You're So Vain" vein, this song was rumored to be about James Taylor, who was good friends with King and played on the Tapestry.

In early 1971, Taylor and King toured together with King the opening act.

Many people tended to think that this song was about a short romance between the two.

King never confirmed these rumors, and Taylor later dated and married Carly Simon.

Toni Stern, however, did have a relationship with Taylor and wrote the lyrics after they broke up and he moved on to Joni Mitchell, but she won't confirm it's about the troubadour.

"I won't say who 'It's Too Late' is about," she told Sheila Weller, author of Girls Like Us. "I don't kiss and tell."

This song won a Grammy for Record Of The Year in 1972.

In addition, her song "You've Got a Friend" won a Grammy for Song Of The Year, and her album Tapestry won Grammys for Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female.
