I know other people have expressed this before, but when I was a pre-teen/teenager in the 70's we weren't so concerned with musical genres. This was long before specialized radio stations and certainly well before satellite stations. Our radio stations played it all. We developed well rounded appreciation of many types of music because we would hear Motown followed by The Beatles followed by hard rock followed by funk followed by folk. With this specialization of "genre radio" we have lost that. James Taylor is one of those beautiful singer/songwriters that is almost a genre unto himself. His voice is the soundtrack of my generation.

Love James Taylor. What a great singer songwriter. His style is more folk rock. I grew up with his music & had some of his records. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 100 million records worldwide. He had a lot of hits such as "You've Got A Friend", "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)", "Fire & Rain", "Handy Man", "Carolina in My Mind", "Shower the People", "Your Smiling Face" etc. He was married at one time to Carly Simon. They had a few duets together including "Mockingbird" & "Devoted to You".

James wrote this song for his new little nephew who was named after him. He wrote it as a lullabye for "Sweet Baby James". True Story. There is a video of him in the last few years (where he is old and bald like me) where he tells the story of this song. He was driving back to North Carolina to see the new baby, and wrote this song on the way here.

FYI, James Taylor was played on pop/rock radio alone. He was never played on country. As one of the biggest acts of the 70’s, he and I’m sure all his fans would say he was strictly folk. ‘Country’ back, then was country western, and it was considered anything but a compliment to the younger generation, much the same as the way you grew up! James was married in the 70’s to Carly Simon, I’m sure you’ve heard her biggest hit - You’re so Vain. ♥️

Yet another great song from Mr. Taylor. His voice has been part of the soundtrack of my life going all the way back to the first time I heard him sing Carole King's song, You've Got A Friend when I was in about 7th grade. I really enjoy watching you young folk discovering the music I've loved for all of these decades.

I am of the opinion that not every song that an artists sings has to be a masterpiece. It is similar to a gesture. Do they all have to be a Grand Gesture or can they also be a small, kind gesture that still impacts someone's life? A sweet, gentle song can still evoke soft, kind emotions. A person is more than just grand gestures. Who they are is the sum of all types of gestures. Who James Taylor is as an artist is the sum of his masterpiece songs and his sweet, simple songs.

This was the first LP I ever bought. Years later when my sister came home with her kids I would get up early for work. My niece would be awake in her playpen waiting for me. I would get my coffee and her bottle in the kitchen and I would sing this to her, closest I knew to a Lullaby. Later, when my sister had returned home, my sister said " I don't understand it, at mom's she would sleep through the night, now she wants a bottle at 5:30 every morning.

Tons of songs to choose from, but "You've Got A Friend" is a personal favorite. It's a total vibe. Also, there's a gem of a duet with James and Alison Krauss (who has an angelic voice in her own right) doing a rip-your-heart-out cover of "How's The World Treating You?"

I first discovered this song when Garth Brooks did a Vegas show solo, no band just an acoustic guitar, and the whole show was about bands, singers and songs in each decade that influenced his music and he would play parts of some of those songs on the acoustic, and he played this one because James Taylor made a huge impact on his life and it just sounded so awesome to me. Just one guy and an acoustic guitar.

An iconic singer/songwriter closely associated with James Taylor is Carole King. Her 1971 album Tapestry happens to be one of the best selling records of all time by a female artist. Everyone had that album, and it’s still influential today. You should definitely react to some Carole King songs, like It’s Too Late, So Far Away, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, You’ve Got a Friend…

@terri2494 9 ай бұрын

They were friends and she wrote You’ve Got a Friend in response to his song Fire and Rain (“I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend.”) She recorded You’ve Got a Friend and then he did his own beautiful cover of it.

I agree that you should continue listening to perhaps his most popular songs like “You Got A Friend”, etc but one that I recommend listening to as well, perhaps outside of making a video in case you don’t like it because it’s a slow song and not one that people might bring up, is “Our Town” which is an interesting song about the lifecycle of small towns, from being made, to peaking, and then to decaying. It’s from the Cars movie. I’ve seen shops close down a lot in small towns in the last ten years or so, so it kind of hits me when I listen to it and makes me think of how things change. Anyways thanks for listening to Sweet Baby James!

James Taylor was, and still is, an icon among songwriters and folk music fans. He is probably best known for his collaboration with fellow songwriter/folksinger Carole King (who is herself a legend) performing g "You've Got A Friend"...truly an anthem of the1970's. My personal favorite performance is JT and his then-wife Carly Simon, performing a live version of their duet "Mockingbird". It showcases the fun side of both artists as they playfully flirt and upstage one another while delivering a great, high energy vocal performance. It's fun to watch & definitely shows an unusually flashy kind of showmanship from both artists!

I feel so privileged as when a young kid, Dad would improvise lullabies on the baby grand piano we had downstairs till we went to sleep. We weren't wealthy! It sounds like we were, but there was a lot of saving money and taking out the front window to get the piano in. My dad played well, though. And did it with love. That was priceless.

Wanna go down possibly the most eclectic musical rabbit hole you can imagine? Give David Bromberg a try. You've heard the term "one hit wonder". Well, David Bromberg is a "No Hit Wonder". Yet if he came to town back in the 70s and 80s, tickets would sell like wildfire. Who was buying all those tickets to see a No Hit Wonder? His legions of fans, that's who. The guy has one of the biggest cult followings of anyone in the business even to this day. He has one of the most unique vocal deliveries ever. You hear one lyric out of his mouth at the beginning of a song and you know it's Bromberg. His repertoire ranges from old time cowboy tunes, to relatively obscure folk tunes, to rock-infused-jazz, to blues-infused novelty tunes, to vintage Americana, to.... well, more genre's and subgenres than I can even come up with words to describe. And he does it ALL with such skill, integrity and a wonderful sense of creativity. The average man/woman on the street has likely never even heard of him and yet he's highly respected and loved by industry musicians across the nation from L.A. to N.Y., from Texas to Nashville. The guy is one of the country's least known legends. Which might sound like an oxymoron but it's true. One thing's for sure: Bromberg can't be labeled as belonging to any single musical genre. He's just..... "Music".
