"Music" is the 3rd album by American singer-songwriter Carole King. It is a continuation of the style laid down in "Tapestry". The album was released in December 1971 and quickly rose to the top of the charts. It features songs such as "It's Going to Take Some Time" (US #12 by The Carpenters), "Sweet Seasons," a #9 hit for Carole King, and "Brother, Brother". While not as groundbreaking or as successful as King's Tapestry album, Carole King: Music experienced immediate success and was certified Gold on December 9, 1971, days after release. It was certified Platinum on July 17, 1995. The album reportedly sold 1,300,000 copies in the United States on the day of its release. However, Platinum status for albums (one million units sold), wasn't created by the RIAA until 1976.
