Carole King wrote "You've Got a Friend" during the January 1971 recording sessions for her album Tapestry and James Taylor's album Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon. She has said that "the song was as close to pure inspiration as I've ever experienced. The song wrote itself. It was written by something outside myself, through me."
James Taylor, who encouraged King to sing her own songs and who also played on Tapestry, had a number one hit with "You've Got a Friend" later in 1971. The album was recorded at A&M Recording Studios ' Studio B in January 1971 with the support of Taylor, Joni Mitchell , and various experienced session musicians.
Released in April 1971, the album contains Taylor's biggest hit single in the US, a cover version of the Carole King standard "You've Got a Friend", which hit #1 on the Billboard charts on July 31, 1971, his only song to do so.
King also performed her song "You've Got a Friend" with Dion, Gloria Estefan, and Shania Twain, as well as "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" with Aretha Franklin and others, including Mariah Carey.
