You’ve Got a FriendCarole King
This is a song included on the historic masterpiece Tapestry, released in 1971 by Carol King, a singer-songwriter who represents the United States.

At such times, this warm song of friendship powerfully affirms your presence right beside you, saying, “You are not alone.” It is a song that offers hope for life.
