For Women’s History Month, I’m selecting some of my favorite songs from some of the most talented and influential women in music. From frontwomen to singer-songwriters to iconic performers, I’m picking one song a day on Mental Jukebox until the end of March.

Albums like Tapestry come out maybe once a decade. It’s America’s songbook. In many ways, it’s also a playbook for how to write songs—and “It’s Too Late” is a perfect example. It showcased all the great elements of songwriting. Heart. Soul. An unforgettable melody and lyrics. And, most notably on this record, an instrumental arrangement where the music not only complements the vocals, but has its own moments to shine.

“One of us is changin', or maybe we've just stopped tryin'.”
