“Corazón” – Carole King [I Like This Song]

[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V1TxLNUyRc]

With its Latin beat and Spanish lyrics, this song from Carole King’s 1973 Fantasy album is a significant departure from the kind of music usually associated with the popular singer-songwriter.

A lot of people apparently enjoyed dancing to “Corazón”, judging from comments I’ve seen. That isn’t too surprising as King’s song almost seems to anticipate the dance-oriented disco music that would dominate the airwaves a few years later.

Also, Carole King turns 79 years old today. Happy birthday to Ms. King.

Seems like a bit of anticipation of the popularity of dance music coupled with an appreciation of a form of music that was very popular at the time (this was after Santana’s first three albums had been released, and that band was wildly popular).
Carole King had a knack for writing songs and playing the piano in a way that wasn’t flashy (she was an original member of “The Section”) but was steady and accessible.
A great songwriter/musician....Happy Birthday, Carole King!
