It was a musical genre with much competition. King's massive talent dominated the scene with her debut album, "Tapestry." The "Tapestry" album was number one for fifteen consecutive weeks."Tapestry" won multiple Grammy Awards. It sold 10 million copies in the U.S. alone and 25 million world wide. "Tapestry"remained on the charts for an astonishing six years.
Concurrent with Carole King's breakthrough success, James Taylor released a pair of classic albums in 1970 and 1971,"Sweet Baby James" and "Mud Slide Slim."

It won him the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance and lodged itself at the top of the charts for weeks.
