Inspiration and background
Researched recording background
Carole King revisited Will You Love Me Tomorrow on Tapestry in 1971, performing a song she had written with Gerry Goffin for the Shirelles. Her own recording belongs to the Lou Adler-produced Ode/A&M album. It is distinct from the earlier Shirelles performance and from later concert versions, even though the underlying composition is shared.
Evidence scope: Sourced recording, release or edition context; private songwriting inspiration is not inferred.
