Dusty Springfield- Up On The Roof (Live)
In 1970, before Tapestry took the music world by storm, Carole King released her first album Writer. The album closes with a gentle version of ‘Up On The Roof’, which in it’s original up-tempo form, had been a UK hit for Kenny Lynch and a Stateside hit for The Drifters in 1962.
Dusty lifted several songs from King’s first two albums, including their arrangements, but interpreted none more successfully than this one.
