Way Over Yonder

The song *Way Over Yonder* transports us to a particular sonic space within the album Tapestry. With a duration of 4 minutes and 38 seconds, this piece was recorded under the production of Lou Adler and the engineering of Hank Cicalo. The sound of this work is framed within the period of Carole King's greatest activity as a singer, during the 1970s, a period where her recognition as a performer reached its peak, although her talent as a songwriter was already well-known since the 60s.

Carole King, born as Carol Joan Klein in New York in 1942, has been a prolific figure in music. Before shining as a solo artist, she collaborated extensively with Gerry Goffin, creating over twenty hits for various artists in the 60s, many of which became true benchmarks. Her album Tapestry, released on February 10, 1971, through Ode Records, became the most successful of her career, topping the album charts in the United States for 15 weeks in 1971 and remaining on them for over six years. This record, which includes Way Over Yonder, was awarded four Grammy awards in 1972, including Album of the Year, and has been certified 14 times Platinum.
