The Aussie 1970s TV and singing sensation grew up with the music and is amazed how many hits throughout the 60s came from King’s pen.

Despite the huge catalogue, Byrne has no problem picking her favourite Carole King song to perform – Up On The Roof – written with her then partner Gerry Goffin and released by The Drifters, among others.

It appeared on Carole King’s 1970 album Writer.

“I adore that song so much. It’s very much a spiritual song and it just takes you,” Byrne says.

“For me when I sing it it’s just like yoga for my mind.”

So it is little wonder the song makes the cut for Tapestry: The Songs of Carole King.

Byrne has performed the tribute show with Vika Bull to sellout audiences in Melbourne and has already had just as strong responses from fans in other parts of Regional Victoria.

Tapestry: The Songs of Carole King is an interpretation of King’s international best-selling album and will play at Wangaratta on Februrary 3.

Not only will the pair, backed on stage by the Brill Band, perform the entire album but they will add other King-penned classics and talk about the history and development of the iconic songs.

“Immediately I knew Vika had to sing (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, it’s just her genre and that’s how she was introduced to Carole King, through the Aretha Franklin connection,” Byrne says.

Released in 1971, Tapestry picked up four Grammy Awards – including Album of the Year – and came in at number 36 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2003.

It sold more than 25-million copies world-wide.

Classic tracks include I Feel The Earth Move, You’ve Got A Friend, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, It’s Too Late, and Will You Love Me Tomorrow. 

While the soulful Bull was a natural for A Natural Woman, deciding who performed what in the entire show was an easy process.

“We know where our voices lie, and there’s so much to chose from,” she says.

“If you’re a Carole King fan you know all her songs.

“We don’t try to steer away from her style. We pay respect to the beauty of the songs because there’s no need to do much to them.

“We just sing them. We don’t change chords, that’s her, her style.

‘We don’t play around with what’s already perfect.”
