From 1964, please enjoy Carole King's spine-tingling original solo demo of "Oh No Not My Baby."
This is a ragingly beautiful song, obviously, and it's been covered a lot, including a fabulous 70s hit version (In the UK) by Rod Stewart (before he became an asshole) and Faces. The American hit, of course, was by the great Maxine Brown.
In any event, the composer's version -- which I had not heard until yesterday -- brings tears to my eyes.
Have I mentioned that she's a fricking fantastic piano player?

Some of her early demos are really nice.
Great demo.
I've always loved the Manfred Mann version, sung by the great Paul Jones.
