Today Carole turns 70. I chose songs from Tapestry which I think is her best album to celebrate the occasion.

There's defying low expectations, and then there's trouncing them. By now, Katy Perry has mastered the art of both. She had every right to be a one-hit wonder. Singers of songs as corny and novelty-esque as "I Kissed a Girl" deserve what they get, and usually it's a career that's over in 15 minutes flat. But that Katy Perry. She defies expectations.
