The recording features James Taylor on acoustic guitar. In addition to Taylor, and King on piano, instruments include Russ Kunkel on drums, Charles Larkey on bass guitar and Curtis Amy on flute.  The lyrics express longing for a lover who is far away. When I listen to the song, it makes me feel the meaning of distance and sadness. The music and voice expresses the lyrics.  In 1971, So Far Away by Carole King entered US Billboards Hot 100 chart at peak position number 14. In 1995, Rod Stewart's cover of the song was included on the tribute album Tapestry Revisited: A Tribute to Carole King.  I'm Gail Nobles. You're listening to HEARTILY.

Lay Your Feelings on Me is a beautiful love song I've never heard before. It's a song written by Helen Lewis and Kay Lewis. The producer is Berry Gordy. And the album the song came from is on the Motown label. I’ve learned something else that's new to me. I never knew that Billy Preston was on the Motown label.  The song Lay your feelings on me touched me when I heard it. The song is a song you can feel. The words have meaning. I love the way Billy Preston played the keyboard. I love the way he sang.  Billy Preston was a keyboardist, singer, and songwriter. His genres were R&B, soul, and gospel. You might remember him from his songs Nothing from Nothing and Will It Go Round In Circles. He played music and recorded with the Beatles.  I'm Gail Nobles you're listening to Heartily.
