This is the song that inspired Carol King to write "You've Got A Friend".
I looked up James Taylor Carole King duets and discovered that Carole wrote the Everly Brothers' hit "Crying In the Rain", and that James Taylor recorded it as a duet with Art Garfunkel. I never knew any of this before. I found the duet on RUclips and OMG how well their voices blend together!
You've Got A Friend - Yes, Carole wrote it especially for James. They've recorded versions with each singing solo and the other doing instrumental backup, and with the two of them singing duets. The song has got to be a favorite of anyone who knows it. It plucks the same heartstrings as Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water which has got to be their best song.
James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Jim Croce, Harry Chapin, Gordon Lightfoot, John Denver, etc., we were so blessed in the 70s to have so many artists who simply exuded this laid back vibe and, to make it even better, there were so many very good local imitators performing in bars and coffee shops that you could enjoy this feeling live just about any time you wanted depending upon where you lived. What a great time to be young!!!
In the 70s I was in my 20s, and now in the 20s I’m in my 70s. Funny how that worked out. 😁
You missed Paul Simon on this list. We really were lucky to grow up with some of the best music ever written.
@@reneeeiier4818
I didn’t miss him, I just spelled it as “etc.”!!!😁👍🏼
I'm the same, 20s in the 70s and 70s in the 20s. I never thought about it like that. We grew up with the greatest music!
@@gildahattabaugh4342
We certainly had the greatest music, but my wife will tell you that I still haven’t grown up. 👍🏼😁
You're right - listening to James Taylor is instantly relaxing. This song is (partly) about a woman he knew who committed suicide.
James taylor childhood friend suzanne committed suicide while he was just starting his carrer and his family and friends hid it from him he didnt hear about it for 6 months later
One of the most talented singer/song writers of all time.
james taylor & carly simon mockingbird. they were married, she is a great singer on her own and had many hits. They do some duets. Mockingbird is as upbeat as can be. I hope you hear it someday. Guaranted to make you happy
The live version!!!
There's also great footage of Carly and Taylor singing Taylor's "You Can Close Your Eyes" together on a 1977 TV show recorded in their home. It's really worth viewing.
Yeah that’s a really fun song!
Agreed. They were a great pair and that's a great duet!
I sent my comment and then noticed you'd already said it. Serendipity.
Mockingbird is such a great and fun performance!
This song is a classic and is perfect just the way it is! Simple...
Love James Taylor.
Always have. Always will.
Thanks for sharing and commenting.
Sweet Baby James, Carolina In My Mind, Up On The Roof, (remake written by Carole King), Handy Man, Mexico, etc all great songs.
Beautiful song, beautiful reaction and you are beautiful ❤🌹
He’s one of the few artists that other musicians and singers love to learn from
It’s true! Nobody accompanies themself quite the way J T can. His song Shower the People is a song that’s needed in today’s world 👍
When the Beatles started Apple records James was the 1st artist they singed.
Fire and rain was written about a woman James knew that died from an overdose.
They had spoken on the the knight before and it she had promised him that she was going to get help for her addiction.
James promised the same thing to her.
( talking on the telephone line. Talking about things to come.)
James had a really bad heroin addiction at one point in his life. He suffered loss and overcame much to still bring us his great music
Although he recorded his first album on the Apple Label for the Beatles in 1968, this 1970's Warner Brothers label album was his breakthrough album and this is his first hit single in 1970. The second line "Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you" refers to Suzanne Schnerr, a childhood friend of his who died by suicide while he was in London, England, recording his first album. In that same account, Taylor said he had been in a deep depression after the failure of his new band the Flying Machine to coalesce (the lyric "Sweet dreams and Flying Machines in pieces on the ground"; the reference is to the name of the band rather than a fatal plane crash, as was long rumored). Taylor completed writing the song while in rehab.
Great back story. I thought Suzanne dies by overdose. I could be wrong. Please confirm if I'm off the mark
@@surferles589 I always thought she was someone he met and befriended while they were in rehab together but I guess she could have committed suicide by overdose, so maybe you're both right and I'm the mistaken one.
James and Carly Simon doing 'You can close your eyes.' Beautiful harmonies.
No matter what instrument if you really take to it it becomes an extension of you.
The 70s and 80s were so full of songs for cruising. These made the trip fly by.
James Taylor is Awesome. If you haven't yet, you should check out Jim Croces "I got a name" too. I think you'll like it a lot too.
Jim Croce was a national treasure!
Susan Una “Susie/Suzanne” Schnurr (1948-1968)-is the subject a friend not a lover. She jumped in front of a subway train at age 19. "Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground".They were both in a band called Flying Machine with Danny Kortchmar and Joel O'Brien. James Taylor after being discovered by Paul McCartney was recording his debut solo album in London for Apple Records. No one told him for 6 months to keep him straight. He battled heroin addiction which later destroyed his marriage to singer Carly Simon." "Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way"
James Taylor, the greatest singer/songwriter in the history of the universe.
The age of the singer-songwriter 2 1/2 generations ago. Now all of us are in our later seventies, but it's just like yesterday. We were all alive then.
You're right. He can sing absolutely anything. A few years back, my wife and I saw him at West Point and he sang show tunes with an orchestra! None of his hits, just show tunes. It was so much fun!
Love your reactions every time I watch a new one. James Taylor is one of the great singer-songwriters who didn't need anything but his own voice and a guitar to make magic.
The story behind this song is mesmerizing. I hear it in so many circumstances. He’s amazing.
The studio single of this, released in 1970, was also quite minimalistic, but did have a little more to fill out the acoustic space. Not quite as bare as this. Just one of the most touching ballads ever recorded. He wrote it for a friend who died.
Poetic lyrics and amazing guitar. James is the real deal. In the 70s my sister kissed his album cover a zillion times.
I cant believe you havent heard this somewhere😳carolina in my mind is a good tune also😉
@Britt one of the 10 to 20 greatest singer songwriter's of all time. (This is my favorite song of his) and a soulful silky voice too so glad you finally got to experience this classic song and artist
Shortly after 9/11, radio station New Jersey 101.5 took this song and inserted clips from the radio station’s live broadcast of that morning. It is a heartbreaking and captivating memorial to those who were lost on that day. I always think of that compilation (you can find it on RUclips) when I hear this song. May the memories of all of the souls lost on the day be a blessing to all of us.
Imagine a duet with him and Karen Carpender. Wow!
he is an amazing guitarist. a true artist
James Taylor's music is so mellow and hopeful. At 19, I did an ink drawing of him. This helped me get a job for 23 years.
Spot on incite Britt! James Taylor truly has a soothing voice. He tells a story in a way that is casual but still uplifting. He makes it seem so easy!
One of the greatest songwriters of all time.
One of the greats. Such a beautiful singer, songwriter and musician!! 😅
I've seen James a couple times. It's always like watching your good neigbor who happens to be immensly talented. Very personable. Chats between songs. Fun & friendly
I agree with her completely. He’s a very accomplished guitar man.. his voice is soothing and his songs tell a story that had meaning with the times .
In 1970 JT was on the cover of TIME magazine, back when we had news magazines. His career blew up, and he was probably the biggest star in folk rock.
James Taylor "Shower The People"...Nuff Said. 🔥❤️🔥
Omg. I can't listen to it without getting all welled up.
I saw James in the UK in 1971 (!). As to his guitar work, I once remember Sting, in an interview, really praising James's guitar accompaniment style.
Fire and Rain is the signature song by what may be my favorite artist. He has a deep, rich catalog, full of hits and gems. As a dedicated fan, I suggest Carolina In My Mind, Rainy Day Man, Walking Man, and Lighthouse as masterpieces of Taylor's intelligence, honesty, melody, harmony, and performance. He has a varied career, so you won't know him from just a few songs.
One of only a few songs that if I hear it pop up on radio etc I just stop and listen. Brilliant.
Sweet Baby James. There used to be called coffee houses where people would sing and play the great acoustic guitar, pleasant times.
I got to see James Taylor and Carol King together in concert here in Australia in 2010, and they both sounded as amazing as they did back in the day. Are you feeling a little envious for me? 🔥🌧🦘
This song is absolutely beautiful.
This one has a special place in my heart. This was my late uncle's favorite song. It'll be five years in november that crazy old man has been gone.My brother and I sang this song at his funeral along with a couple others that he liked.
He gives off a comforting feeling.
I first saw JT when he was so unknown he wasn't even listed on the concert marquee. He stole the show from two rockin' bands with just his guitar. He was 21. I've seen every major and minor act in folk music from the last sixty years or so. He was smoothest guitarist and one of the very best singer-songwriters of all. Loved your reaction to one of the giants of his genre.
Such a great melody. Sometimes I drive around and make up lyrics to it, because it's so easy to tell a story with that melody.
Watching James Taylor play and sing has the same effect on me that watching Bob Ross paint does. I can't play guitar, sing, or paint but I find both of them mesmerising.
Gorgeous guitar playing.
in 1983, my first year at college, I had two roommates in a single dorm room. One roommate always wanted to listen to music while he went to sleep and we finally settled on James Taylor as the only artist we could all agree on. It's exactly like you say, you just relax.
I got to see him in concert with Jackson Browne. So great! Janes is a treasure!!
Sweet Baby James ! still kickin at 76 yrs old .
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
That is a great line BR party... 😀
Indeed it is!
Wooooooooooooooooo. Looking good, girl. Okay, about to watch the video. Love James Taylor and I used to play this song. Love that studio. Seriously. Love your studio. It's you.
Britt, you seem like a genuinely nice person. I always enjoy your reactions. Thank you for all you do.
I SO love seeing you enjoy the songs, that I LOVED when I was younger than you, lol.
Listen to How sweet it is to be loved by you! It will warm you up
You would love hearing him sing with the Dixie Chicks. Their harmonies are heavenly.
It is worth being old now to have been young then. ❤🔥We still have a fire in our heart AND heartburn. 😆😅
He’s a Superstar in my book
You should react to some songs of Carly Simon. She and James Taylor were married for over 10 years. They had a place on Martha's Vineyard, and maintained separate homes there after their divorce. Carly had a nightclub on the Vineyard, the Hot Tin Roof, which she eventually sold. But she had so many great songs herself, including to name just a few, You're So Vain (a song about Warren Beatty and a couple other ex-es), Nobody Does It Better (the theme song to The Spy Who Loved Me), Anticipation, That’s The Way I Always Heard It Would Be, Jesse, etc., etc., etc. She had the same mellow vibe as James Taylor. A wonderful voice.
I work for a package delivery company. I knew the courier that used to have the route that included the street that Carly lived on. He said she was always very friendly and completely down to earth.
Welcome back girl ☺️. Nice to hear current reactions from you. James Taylor is an artist who I didn't know much about. I'm sure he had other solo hits but he was more revered as a songwriter. He is in the same genre as Carole King. Continue with your great work 😊
I listened to him on vinyl a lot when I was a kid ❤
A top ten all time pop/rock hit.
When this record came out it was a staple at every party I went to and everybody sang along
James Taylor, is playing at the local Winery here in Brisbane Australia this Sunday, Chris Isaac tomorrow, at there age they still sound so good, enjoy your show,😂.
Yes James is certainly a tune-smith. He's also written a few historical songs like Sugar Cane.
I’d love to just sit around a campfire and have some drinks with him . He made some great songs
Nice one here, he's definitely one of a kind
yep...nailed it Britt
Great song from a great artist !
so iconic! and i am not afraid to say i cryied many times listening to this song!
Wooooo. Seriously, you look SOOO good in this video. You gotta vibe, girl. I have a James Taylor story. Years ago, travelling New Zealand with a backpack and hitchhikers thumb, I worked at a farm for a few weeks and one of the backpackers had a tape player and he played James Taylor. That's all the music the had. James Taylor. Back home I had played guitar in a coffee shop and all I knew was Gordon Lightfoot and James Taylor. After working on that farm at the end of each day a half dozen of us farm workers would sit outside under a calm sky and listen to the music of James tell it like it is.
My favorite song! I saw him in concert. Bucket list item.
I love his music!They call him sweet Baby Jame
I had the wonderful opportunity to see him perform this song live last year at wolf trap amphitheatre in Virginia it was the best live concert ever
“You’ve got a friend” is the one you need to hear! It’s just as good as fire and rain! Great reaction on this song. He does have one of those voices that is really unique.
Welcome back! You’ve been missed.
This is my favourite song ever
It’s like a proclamation to his sadness and confirmation to his friend Suzanne
"This man could sing me a nightmare and I would fall asleep", haha! Yes, James Taylor is cool like the other side of the pillow
From this album my favorite song is his lullaby, "Sweet Baby James" which is a sweet song for his then new born nephew.
What makes this performance even more impressive is the reality that he was likely strung out and high as fuck at the time.
Flying Machines in pieces on the ground. A reference to a band he was in by that name that didn’t work out.
His parents thought he would become a doctor. But, like you say, his voice is healing.
I heard this song when the Navy aircraft landed in San Diego my 13 month tour of Vietnam was over and the Marine Corps was giving early outs because it was way over maned . It was a peaceful song that felt so good
I can't remember how many months I spent attempting to learn something approaching that guitar work.
Thanks for the flashback.
Rock on!
One of my first albums thank you ❤❤❤❤
He is a long-time resident of Martha's Vineyard Island. Still is.
Martha's Vineyard Island was the shooting location chosen by Steven Spielberg for the background of the movie " Jaws ".
GOAT!!!
Welcome back!! It's nice reliving these songs through a fresh pair of eyes. Almost like seeing them for the first time. There is so much from the 70's, it'll take you years to go through it all. It's nice being along for the ride though. Thank you, and it's good to have you back.
More to come!
Thumbs up for James Taylor and Carly Simon singing "Mockingbird". It's such a fun song!
He has written and autobiography with music on Audible. A very interesting life.
Taylor and Linda Ronstadt are on Neil Young's Harvest album, the great pedal steel player Ben Keith said later about the sessions, something like 'there was this young fella, boy could he play that guitar'....lol
He has so many good songs.My personal favorite is handyman
"If you're clenching your jaw, and your hands are balled up and your shoulders are in your ears" Britt, I absolutely love your description. I felt every bit of that. 😀
Love James Taylor. For something fun, watch the live video of him and Carly Simon singing Mockingbird. A total different side to him.
