This week share a favourite song or piece of music that helps you relax, or just share a favourite piece of music or song with us.

American singer/songwriter Carole King wrote Up On The Roof with Gerry Goffin in 1962. It was originally recorded by The Drifters.
Carole King (with James Taylor on acoustic guitar) included it on her first solo album Writer, released in 1970.
This song just holds me tight. Relaxing? Absolutely. It also makes me smile. And sing along.
I was lucky enough to attend two performances during Carole King and James Taylor’s “Troubadour Reunion” tour in 2010.
Up On The Roof was on the set list.
It was magical…

One of my favourite songs. Oh, how I wish I had seen them perform it live.

This is not a song I have heard before, but it’s certainly one I would listen to again and again. Very upbeat and happy. They looked like they were having great fun performing it.
Thank you so much for joining us for Weekend Music Share.
