If u do nothing else in life, u must go see James Taylor in concert. U will never 4get the experience. He takes u to a place in ur heart u never knew existed, a place where all ur dreams come true...

My late husband and i saw JT the year before he passed in Birmingham Al at Oak Mtn. My husband wanted to hear this song so much. He didnt sing it until the very end of the concert and as soon as the first chords were played my Wesley shouted out "There is a God in Heaven that loves me" ❤ it was a beautiful evening and i will cherish the memories until i leave this world and see my sweetheart once again ❤

My son was born July 10, 2002. This is the song he fell asleep to every night until he was about 6. On June 14th, 2020 he was killed in a horrific car accident. His girlfriend and his two cattle dogs, Ace and Aspen, were also killed. We played this at his funeral. We have come full circle with this beautiful song. BTW, his name is/was James.

I came here for legends of tomorrow and ended up in love with a voice so good that it touches our hearts

Perfect song to listen to being out on a porch with a drink in your hand as the sun comes down

JT is like a warm fire in the fireplace on a cold fall day.

James Taylor I like your music and I hope I can hear some newer music from you and your music and relax me and I hope I can hear it tomorrow I will and I'm glad I have you on my KZfaq channel thank you very much James Taylor and have a very good day and God bless

As long as James Taylor lives, I live right there beside him. One of the greatest musicians who ever lived. God bless the man.

So love James Taylor. I'm 64 and I've sung this song when putting my grand children to bed so many times. I hope they will always remember it. My era of music (lyrically) is so precious!

Going to see him with my son January 2022 Leeds uk, I’m 73 now never thought I would’ve gotten to see him,, a dream come true. Friggin wonderful.. John h uk

My sister's birthday is December 1 and every year I call and sing this to her. I saw Taylor in 73. One spotlight, one microphone, one stool, one man with a guitar. Doesn't get better. We still sail on his voice.

If weren't for the Legends of Tomorrow i would not have listen to this masterpiece, and i almost cried at the end of season 4!❤

Never tire of hearing this song!!Such a sweet lullaby. Since I am from North Carolina, I am so proud of our “home boy”!!!

James Taylor's music from the 70's has been a kind of anchor or perhaps a kind of compass at times in my life. His music was like listening to a life coach.

He has given so much beauty to our fallen world. One of the true greats who has made life a little less sad.

I can't listen to this song without bawling my eyes out

Dear Lord to have this song written for my son... what an honor it would be. This nephew James started in the annals of classic music. James is such a gift to the world.

He's beautifully transparent , the best songwriter, makes me cry

My favourite song by him. Love always. Everyone stay safe.

Imagine seeing old JT at such a small venue as Borders!!

I didn't think this song could get any better

And just like that, I’m 12 years old hearing this song for the first time. 🥰

James has brought me so much joy, comfort and peace through the past 50 plus years. This song is one of my absolute favorites. Infinite gratitude for James. I named my daughter after him.

This guy can literally make you cry ,he is so brilliant

James was a young heroin addict prior to releasing some of the Best music ever recorded.I feel the tone of his voice helped soothe all of us thru the strife of the late 60’s & 70’s.I played the grooves out of this album!!!! Carole King also released a Masterpiece -. & together they created Magic.

Great joy to hear him every time. So lost in his Music, forgot to gas up, almost stranded coming home. All Worth it!!!

Love him best when it's just him and his giitar

A true SUPERSTAR and so down to earth!

Such a sweet song. I've sung it to each of my three kids before putting them to bed and they all love it. Thank you James.

We all age but look at his early career pics with long flowing hair and a mustache. So amazing how much we all change.

What a brilliant performer - what a brilliant song. Iconic to the music industry.

A legendary singer, beautiful song, I always listen to this song up to now, i'm 62 yrs. old, JT is such a great singer & a song writer, love u james, god bless..thank you.

what a classic... the best song from one of the best albums of all time

Thank you Mr James Taylor for bringing your Poetic And Beautiful Music to ALL

Long haul trucker- I start singin this song every time I enter mass on the turnpike when I’m heading east. Not sure why, it’s calming I guess. Ty JT

🥀Beautiful Song!! Thanks for posting this video I love this song 🥀✌🥀☝️

Ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go... the saddest and the most hopeful line I can think of. Thank you for keeping me hopeful, James. God Bless You.

I never noticed that the song is indeed a waltz, seems in 3/4 or 6/8. Amazing how the story and that explanation makes the song so much more special. I'm SO proud of American artists from that era, James, Allison, Joni, SO many more. Great performance! I love Jame's humor as well...

Iv loved James's voice for 50 years, but in a quiet way he is also an awesome guitarist, love this!

He still has that awesome voice. I just checked his wiki; he's actually 4 years younger than I am. I'm amazed about that because I've been listening to him seems all my life.

Just became the uncle of a sweet baby James:)

he's still brilliant. Thanks for uploading this.

My mom has asked me to learn this a few times but I've been too preoccupied with other stuff. This is my first time listening to it and it's beautiful. I'm gonna learn it.

Absolutely the best James ever sang this song... absolutely..

Always makes me cry. "Ten miles behind me, and ten thousand more to go. . ."

One of musics' great legends...

He sure burns lyrics into the tapestry of our minds. Bless you James.

An American treasure...great performance. Thank you for the upload.

Thank you James for "sweet baby James." 😉

I've been listening to him since the 70's. He is truly at the top of my List. The Very Top. He covers the whole range. One singer/songwriter who has it ALL. Was a priviledge to see him in the 90's. Just wish there were more opportunites.

My first memory of ever hearing music is this man

thank you such a great voice and guitar playing

We are so fortunate to have lived in a day and time with so many amazingly talented performers. None if them sounds like or writes the beautiful songs like James Taylor. We are blessed.

Sweet Baby James is so lovely with special meaning ti me, I was with A Sweet Man named James, and forgot for just a miment, how special he was to me! I miss you James! 💗

Jeez, this guys voice will never be matched.

Just now, I was searching KZfaq for a good cover of this song. There are some decent ones, but I've come to the conclusion that nobody can sing this song like James Taylor. Most people, they just don't have the special sadness and beauty that he has. Everyone has their own sadness, their own loneliness to wrestle with. This inimitable song just needs James's life behind it to sound the way it should.

As your hair goes, James, your voice becomes sweeter and sweeter... Luv ya man... you've been my rock if sorts for 50 long years and still are my friend!!!!

I have a 3 month old grandson named James and this song. makes me think of him, Jt. is great!

James Taylor, One of the Best Artist from North Carolina !!! My favorite !!! Beautiful Music !!! I Love that "Sweet Baby James" !!!

Once you hear James, you really get touched... And you’ll always remember his songs!!!🎶🎤❤️❤️😊

James Taylor…you are a Legend…thanks 👍👍👍

I have something to say ‘ how sweet’ is to watch James singing!!🎤🎶🎶❤️❤️

still has a smooth voice.....best of many good songs penned by James

James makes me cry

..still great after all these years.. only... better.. sweeter, smoother guitar.. sweeter, smoother voice.. ahh.. i listened to this in my college days.. now, 30 years later, played sweetly, just a tad more slowly.. it seems that james appreciates -- and i appreciate -- the song he wrote then.. .. even more, now.

I have been lucky to attend some James taylor concerts over the years ,and i have to say ,that if you can ,at least once everyone should attend one of his concerts.in their lifetime ...you will be in the presence of true greatness...that voice even today sounds as sweet as honey.....you just feel totally taken in by his performances ,which are outstanding witty self affacing and very giving of himself ..he never fails to impress me ...I hope to keep retuning for more for many years to come.

He's really such a great singer, his vioce never age, i wish i could be like him singing lallubye, one of my idol, thank you james for the music you shared with us...

The best singer/song writer of my time I love this song the most by James Taylor.

Sat down to learn a couple songs today. I have been playing for 15 years but sometimes I still need a reference to play certain things in time. I watched this and put my Martin back on the rack. No matter what I will never sing it as well as the man himself. Sometimes things just need to be left just as they are. A masterpiece.

I was there with my husband and my two youngest daughters 💚. Will never forget it!

One of my very good friends, Tim James Jernigan and myself would drink a Fifth of Old Bushmills and look at the good side of living. We would talk, reminisce, drink and have a wonderful day. James passed away 25 years ago but when I hear Mr. Taylor sing "Sweet Baby James," I remember the good times we had along with all the laughter that goes with it. Thank you James Taylor for singing that song.

Beautiful shirt, very modest human being with a lovely voice

I sang this song walking Interstate 80 in the morning light through Laramie Natinal Park in the 1970's. That's something you can never forget.

If he only had to write one song, this would have been enough. Fortunately for us he wrote a few more.

Is James Taylor an angel just sent here to make great musics?His songs are like heavenly sound!

‘Precious , everything about this performance is pure loveliness. Thank you.😘🦆

I sang this to my babies every night.

I used to play one of his albums which it included this particular song on my parent's record player in the 70's when I was a teenager. I used to sing these particular songs 🎵 as if I am James Taylor singing in a concert

...James Taylor never old....coz he is James taylor.!

I sang you’ve got a friend at my dads funeral service . Should have before he died Good song

What a nice story....I never knew this was about his nephew........REALLY NICE :)

I love his music...!!!

Just wonderful.

Hi There is a young cowboy, he lives on the range His horse and his cattle, they're his only companions He works in the saddle and sleeps in the canyons Just waiting for summer, his pastures to change And as the moon rises, he sits by his fire Just thinking about women and glasses of beer And closing his eyes as the doggies retire He sings out a song which is soft, but it's clear Just as if maybe someone could hear He says goodnight all you moonlight ladies Rockabye sweet baby James Deep greens and blues for the colors I choose Won't you let me go down in my dreams? Guess I'm rockabye, sweet baby James Now the first of December was covered with snow Yes, and so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston Now the Berkshires, they seemed dream-like on account of that frosting With ten miles behind me, and ten thousand more to go, you know There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway A song that they sing when they take to the sea A song that they sing of their home in the sky Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep But singing seemed to work fine for me So goodnight, all you moonlight ladies Rockabye, sweet baby James Deep greens and blues for the colors I choose Won't you let me go down in my dreams? Oh rockabye, oh sweet baby James

This is my favorite song to sing when I go to a stand-up mic night in Chicago. The ageless mellow voice, and the beautiful finger style guitar work of James Taylor is magnificent.

Loved to listen to this great song........Good on ya James !!!

Learned to dance to this tune 1959..

my all time favorite artist. proud to say i'm from north carolina. love you james taylor. forever.

Was struggling over a bad break up many years ago. This song comforted me aswell as many other jt songs. What a life changer

Amazing talent, amazing voice and incredibly amazing songwriting.... pure talent

Goodnight moonlight ladies - just beautiful

it is such a great song, i also love how he slightly alters the lyrics from time to time when he sings it 🥺

What a blessing he is ... Love his music 🎵💙🌈

Ahh James. You probably have never played a wrong tune your whole life. I am in my 20s and to me, this raw versions of him singing with just his guitar is what music truly is. I could listen to him and just him and be completely at peace. Thank you for sharing your talent to the world. I hope more young people will learn about you and listen and appreciate you. I hope your concert pushes through in San Diego cos i cant wait to see and hear you live. What a gift you are.

Great to listen to someone like James Taylor who still has it, and doesn't lip sync Thanks for sharing

Such beautiful Music James!

such a leader in folk music

Loved you since I first heard you, James Taylor xxx

Simply a voice that gets better with age. An amazing guitarist who makes playing the guitar looks so easy and effortless. Rock on JT, they just don't get any better!!!!!

Sweet enough to make me cry.....
