Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Back in 1970, Carole King and James Taylor made their debut appearance together at Los Angeles' famed haunt, The Troubadour, as respected songwriters but unproven performers.
A year later, all that had changed: King's Tapestry was atop the charts, en route to 24 million sales, while Sweet Baby James had established Taylor as the era's pre-eminent confessional songwriter, thanks to the emblematic anthem of loss "Fire And Rain". Nearly four decades later, the pair re-convened for The Troubadour's 50th Anniversary, with material including "It's Too Late", a slowed-down, de-popped "Will You Love Me Tomorrow", and "You've Got A Friend", the song that bound them inextricably together.
