Written by Carole King. You might want to check out her album Tapestry which is one of the best selling albums of all time...deservedly so, she’s a prolific songwriter
Every woman should own "Tapestry".
yes, Carole's Tapestry album, still great 50 years later. In my Top 5 albums of all-time.
@@DawnSuttonfabfour Pardon my correction, nut that should be "Every person should own Tapestry". I know I have a copy or two.
Carole's version is just as sweet!
Yeah, please check out Carole King's own version of her song too.
Fire and Rain is his greatest song out of many great songs!
This song is my favorite.
Carol King and Joni Mitchell are singing backup here- on Carol’s sing!
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. "You've Got A Friend" was a big hit for him in 1971 & was written by Carole King. Some other hits were "Fire and Rain", "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)", "Handy Man", "Sweet Baby James", "Carolina in My Mind", "Shower the People" & "Your Smiling Face". He was married at one time to Carly Simon. They had a few duets together including "Mockingbird" & "Devoted to You".
Not actually a James Taylor song even though he had a big hit with it. The song was written by Carole King.
@@gkitteringham I think I mentioned that she wrote it.
@@dagmar.6954 Yes, indeed you did. I had not intended to put my comment as a reply to you, but as a separate comment.
He is a great singer songwriter but remember How Sweet It Is was a cover of a Marvin Gaye song. I heard it this morning while I was at Wal-mart. Great memories. He's one of my favorites.
Huge rabbit hole here. "Carolina In My Mind" is stunning. A must hear.
This song was written by Carole King. She was a song writer in the 60s with her then husband. You have probably have heard many of the songs they wrote together. In 1971 her first album Tapestry was release. This song was on it.
Song recommendations:
"Fire and Rain" which James Taylor wrote to a reaction of a friend's death.
"I Feel the Earth Move" , "Jazz Man", "You Got a Friend" by Carole King
"That's the Way I Always Heard It Should Be", "You're So Vain", "Nobody Does It Better" from Carly Simon, because I grew up with Carly Simon and James Taylor together. I can't think of one without the other.
Mockingbird a duet with Carly & James
There are a lot of duets out there also with Carole King & James Taylor also even "You Got a Friend", where Carole plays the piano and James the guitar live.
yes, Carole's Tapestry album, still great after 50 years. In my Top 5 albums of all-time.
Carole King's "Tapestry" was one of the best-selling of all time, with over 25 million copies worldwide. It was ranked number 25 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Chod, you should select some of her songs to react to.
Saw Carole King open with Tapestry for James Tayler with Sweet Baby James
Doesn't matter what kind of music you were into, a whole generation of boomers and their parents were humming this tune back on the seventies. It literally became part of the culture. James Taylor is one of the Great American songwriters of his generation, and this is probably his most iconic song - though it is was penned by his friend Carole King... another great singer-songwriter of the era you need to explore. "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor should be next.
You said it well, this 67 year old and her parents and younger brother used to sing it around the table after dinner, in harmony! Not always good harmony, but we loved doing it! My boyfriend was blown away. My best friend since we were 13 years old, would often be there, along with anyone else. Of course there were other songs, but this was our favorite. My friend and I still are there for one another in spirit, and I am grateful.
The supporting artist lineup on this is incredible.
James Taylor - vocals, acoustic guitar
Joni Mitchell - backing vocals
Danny Kortchmar - acoustic guitar, congas
Leland Sklar - bass guitar
Russ Kunkel - drums, congas, cabasa
Danny, Lee & Russ teamed up with Craig Doerge to form 'The Section'. They're well worth a listen :)
And I believe Leland is currently touring w/James.
Leland one of the best to play the bass
One of the greatest artists of the 20th century. And I believe he's still singing.
Just listen to that voice. ❤️❤️
My son Daniel was always so loyal to his friends, no matter what time of day or night they might call him with a crisis or just needing to talk, he made time for them. When he died at 31 I had this song played at his funeral and it really impacted his friends who were there at the service. Several were his pall bearers. We all miss him so much 6 years later. And RIP to Darren, one of my son's best friends who sadly passed 2 years after my son, it was almost like losing another son.
Bless Daniel and his friends.
And bless you mom for raising such an extraordinary son.
@@trudywolfe2795 ♥️
I just read your comment and I cried! So sorry for your loss! I couldn’t imagine losing any one of my three daughters! I LOVE this song! It’s SO beautiful! Stay safe! Greetings from Australia.
@@wendyryder2708 Peace and blessings to you and your daughters; I have 2 daughters myself and am more conscious than ever of how precious they are and how I don't think I could take losing another child. One of my daughters has autism and at 34 now she functions on a 6 year old level and has deficits physically from a stroke she had at 18, she has a history of seizures, has a genetic defect and type 2 diabetes and 5 years ago had 2 surgeries to remove a large tumor in her right ear canal. She lost most of her hearing after that. She has all these medical conditions and is now having liver trouble, and it fills me with such dread just worrying about losing her to some medical crisis. She depends on me to make all her medical decisions and it is exhausting sometimes. At 34 she still plays with toys and her room is full of stuffed animals and all her toy collections and she is obsessed with all the old Nickelodeon tv shows from the 90s that she loved as a child. And I worry about my youngest daughter even though she's 32 and an engineer with a successful career and busy life hundreds of miles from here in a much bigger city; adult or not, she is my baby girl! It would make my own heart stop I believe if something happened to her. I am the one who found my son in the floor (still warm) and did cpr and called 911 but he was beyond help, and that stays with you as a mother.
So sorry for your loss
A real classic love song from a great musician with a beautiful voice. 🎶🎶💕💕
JT was discovered by the Beatles - George H uses his song Something in the way she moves as inspiration for Something
Chod, your smile when you listen to a great song like this, says it all.
Now your in rarefied air. Incredible singer/songwriter.
Carole King wrote this particular song but he’s got a
ton of great songs also. “Fire And Rain” in itself is one
greatest songs of all time.
He has so many beautiful songs. Fire and Rain is well worth a listen.
Sweet Baby James is a must.
The first album I ever bought was "Sweet Baby James"...I still have it.
It's the record which began my record collection.....I still collect vinyls....they're getting pricey!!
It took me a few years to find it, but I finally did find his original (1968) "James Taylor" album which was released on Apple records.
James Taylor came in with Carole King.
For those who don't know it....the arrival of Carole King would mark the beginning of the end for the Los Angeles session musicians known as the "Wrecking Crew".
For my money, James Taylor has one of the finest, most expressive voices in American pop. Try Sweet Baby James, or You Can Close Your Eyes.
'Fire and Rain', 'You Can Close Your Eyes', beautiful songs wonderfully sung with such heartfelt soul.
Two essential JT songs to listen to. Want "you can close your eyes" played at my funeral
JT is one of the great singer/songwriters of our time, although he didn't write this one. Next for you is his -Fire And Rain;
How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You); Carolina On My Mind; Your Smiling Face; Handyman; Shower The People; Mexico;
Sweet Baby James; and Mockingbird.
NO!!! Never Mockingbird. Everything else...Okay.
Fire and rain has to be next. 🔥 & 🌧
"Fire and Rain" has to be next, since Carole King wrote this in direct response to that one. "Up on the Roof" is also lovely.
I had him on 8-track. That tells you how long I've been listening to him. His songs "Fire and Rain" and "Sweet Baby James" are two of my favorites. I always put Him and Jim Croce in the same category. Fantastic story tellers.......But judging from your video reactions you would probably like "Steamroller Blues" the best. (it is a blues parody written by James Taylor, that appeared on his 1970 album . It was intended to "mock" the inauthentic blues bands of the day. The song later appeared on two of Taylor's compilation albums and has been recorded by a variety of other artists including Elvis Presley. Isaac Hayes even performed the song on an episode of the A-Team. ( ruclips.net/video/yz0H8D4U7U8/видео.html ) .
🥰🥰🥰anything this man touched.
Like a warm coat, James can wrap you up in his soft voice and kind lyric and keep out the cold. What a great guitarist, also.
Oh, gotta love Sweet Baby James, Fire and Rain, How Sweet It Is, Carolina...
‘Up on a roof ‘ and ‘copperline’ are two beautiful songs. 🎧 🎵❤️
I'm so happy you're doing JT! He's one of my absolute favorites! I love him so much, I love some deep cuts that most others don't know about. He covers a song by the great George Jones, called "Bar Tender's Blues". Let's see if you recognize the famous voice singing back up...
Liked your discussion about friends , Chod. Not many reactors would go deep and big picture like you do. This is really just James channeling Carole King though. She’s such a great songwriter ! I bet you would love her gospel- themed “Way Over Yonder”.
I saw him in concert back in the 70s, and was the only concert, and I've been to many, that brought me to tears. His music hits you right in the heart.
I mean this is such a good song. It never gets old. It's Timeless. It's absolutely beautiful. And James Taylor's voice is just out of this world❤️ I hope you do check out more of him he has so many amazing songs. Everyone needs at least one good friend they can count on. I don't care who you are or what you think. You might like being alone most of the time like myself but you have to have one person you can absolutely count on. Everyone needs love in their life on this Earth ❤️
James on one of his concert DVDs, talks about hearing Carole King do this song for the first time at the Troubadour in LA. Taylor famously had a serious drug problem at the time and he joked that he doesn't remember anything for about a year on either side of hearing the song, but he remembered that. He thanked Carole for the generous act of letting him release the song first and then said, "Of course, at the time, I didn't realize I'd be playing it every night for the rest of my life."
One of the greatest folk rock songs of all time.
Great reaction! Was fortunate enough to have seen him live a couple of times. Amazing music, amazing lyrics, amazing show...amazing man!
His entire catalog is great.
Walking Man
Carolina on my Mind
Mexico
Just too many to list. Hope you dive in some!
BTW, Joni Mitchel is singing the backup vocals on this recording. Also, Carole King (the songwriter) and James Taylor both recorded their versions simultaneously in 1971 with some shared musicians.
So many greats came out of the Troubadour
Written by Carole King. Love both of them; you should react to them performing live together. Carole King is overlooked by all the RUclips music reactors; I find it frustrating as she is one of the great song writers of that era. Her Tapestry album is one of the top rated in history.
It’s a lucky person who can say they have a friend like that ❤️
Makes people turn kind and loving again
There's nothing better than to help and be a true friend to those less fortunate and in turmoil
This was the most requested song when I was playing the corner of Wellesley and Younge that summer in Toronto ($35/hour in 1976)
The man was so smooth, the voice so easy to listen to.
There will undoubtedly be many suggestions coming up soon...
Steamroller (blues)
Carolina on my mind
One morning in may
#2 on the street requests...
Cat Stevens....
Father and son
Now THAT was a summer, wasn't it?
($35/ hour in '76? Mint!)
This song was written for piano and the fact that James Taylor plays it so well on guitar gives him the right to claim this gorgeous song as his own.
Classic great song .Thanks for the memories
Family and friends are the only reason I'm still here. Beautiful song!
Saw him live several years ago, front row tickets. Amazing performer
Fire and Rain. One of my all time favorite songs.
Thanks for listening to this. Great Old song. ❤️
Love Leland Sklar’s bass work on this song. I just saw James Taylor in concert a few months ago and he still sounds so good.
This was written by Carole King a prolific song writer...It's off her Tapestry album. She won a Grammy for best song that year...MANY moons ago.😂
When I was sixteen my friend was killed in a car accident. They played this at his funeral. So it always hits me .
Love this song forever!
FIRE AND RAIN....FIRE AND RAIN....FIRE AND RAIN.😁
Carol King wrote this song for her album but let James release his version first and held her version for over a year
From Wikipedia:
"You've Got a Friend" was written by Carole King during the January 1971 recording sessions for her own album Tapestry and James Taylor's album Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon. King has stated that "the song was as close to pure inspiration as I've ever experienced. The song wrote itself. It was written by something outside myself, through me." According to Taylor, King told him that the song was a response to a line in Taylor's earlier song "Fire and Rain" that "I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend." King's album was recorded in an overlap with Taylor's, and King, Danny Kortchmar, and Joni Mitchell perform on both. The song is included on both albums; King said in a 1972 interview that she "didn't write it with James or anybody really specifically in mind. But when James heard it he really liked it and wanted to record it".
Nice reaction! it is a very beautiful song.
Such a beautiful song...
Hey Chod, I jumped on this reaction because I'm such a big James Taylor's music, I have listen to him since I was a kid because my parents listen to him and so Jessica heard is albums growing up around our house. Thanks for jumping on this so quickly after she spoke with you. I even have another fond memory of James Taylor because he was the only concert that I ever took my parents to and that was shortly before my father passed away. So many great hits that everyone suggested, I recommend you check out "Steamroller" great song and I didn't see it listed in others suggestions. Thanks Buddy. PEACE ✌ ☮
This should be universally accepted as a good song. I understand that some may not enjoy it but just listen to the lyrics and know that regardless of your station in life you have a friend somewhere. That is super important. Thanks for the react
Hard to think somebody wouldn't love this song and it's beautiful meaning.
HE AND CARLY SIMON SHOWED UP BEGINNING OF 70'S ... SMOOTH VOICE/STYLE ..
This whole album (Sweet Baby James) is one where you can start on the first track and go through the entire album without skipping a single song. Its worth a listen.
I love his, "Up on the Roof."
I love your reaction. Thank you!
James Taylor has a library of songs I think they're really enjoying try uh Carolina in my mind violent rais fire and rain frozen man copper or copper line I think it is or copper road there's plenty of a heat he did a lot and he did a lot with some other people too I think you're really like
Imagine how the world would be if we all followed life by these songs from the best years of our lives
Sweet Baby James is my favorite by him.
JT was a big part of my childhood soundtrack. He’s still going strong over 50 yrs later. An American Treasure
Love James Taylor - you should listen to Sweet Baby James, gorgeous song - Carolina on My Mind, Shower the People, so many great ones. Great reaction - look forward to more JT
Sweet Baby James. ❤ Prolific songwriter, beautiful acoustic melodies, soooooo good!!
Carole King penned this song, beautiful duet of her and him performing this song out there.
She's an entire different option, check out her LP Tapestry.
"Fire and Rain" next from James please. 😁❤👍🏽
Taylor is a world class guitar player in the finger picking style...
Please, more James Taylor! One of my favorites is "Honey Don't Leave L.A.".
A sad sigh for time long gone,....good times. Soft in my memories,lost to time. At least I had those days in the sun,...
(My Dad was my best friend)
This is a very nice reaction. My only surprise is that you hadn't heard it before. There are a set of songs every living person should hear growing up and this is one of them.
I dig your jazz-fusion drum intro! So cool!
OMG, Chod . Another great voice from my high school years. I LOVED James Taylor and owned several of his albums, plus his wife Carly's and of course the classic Tapestry by Carol King. Beautiful, touching lyrics and melodies.
James is another of those tragic geniuses who struggled with depression and drug addictions while still blessing us with his output. Thankfully in this case, he overcame his demons and is still with us, making music. Bless your sensitive soul James.....
Would love to hear "Fire and Rain" as others have requested. Also the duet "Mockingbird" with his wire Carly Simon. Thank you.
Always been solid with or without hair!
There is virtually no one who can't feel and react to this song and this voice. I have LOVED James Taylor for 40 years, and I know he still represents something deeply human in all of us. Thanks for doing this video. I like you a lot. Peace.
Wonderful reaction.
Fire and Rain, Sweet Baby James, the list is long on Mr. taylor!
James Taylor's voice is like honey. Please also do his song "Sweet Baby James."
Carole King wrote this song for him after hearing his song Fire and Rain.… Which is about the loss of his friend, the break up of his band, and his drug problem. Both are excellent songs.
Love your musical intro, sounds very nice!
This was recorded before James' hard pivot into punk rock.
Sweet baby James is also another big song of his- it's really nice. Blossom is another song that I really like even though it's not as well-known. But he has so many good ones - ah, the seventies!
James Taylor does a great cover of The Spinners "Sadie."
Finally a. reaction to a song written by Carole King, a prolific songwriter. She holds 4 Grammy awards and is a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame. She and James Taylor recorded "Will You Love Me Tomorrow": ruclips.net/video/GLA7sanwnN8/видео.html. He sang back-up and played guitar. Thanks for reacting!
It's hard to hear that you think your generation doesn't want friends. A close friend is pure gold.
Phenomenal singer and a phenomenal songwriter!! Love love love!! Check out “Steamroller” it’s a Must!
Her Town, underrated James Taylor song
Got to check out fire and Rain.Blow your mind.🇨🇦💖🇺🇸😷🙏
Related trivia.
Bass on this record,
Leland Sklar, Who still occasionally plays with James,
aka "Jesus" glimpsed briefly on the infamous Phil Collins love "in the Air Tonight" video.
A man with a remarkable CV who now has RUclips channel reminiscing on his career ... Well worth a look!
Off the chart..... just like Jesus, Faithful and True.... it was THE song of the 70s....
That's Joni Mitchell singing harmony in the background with James Taylor, her boyfriend at the time.
I appreciate your reflections on the lyric. I see it in my son’s generation. No hard and fast friends. He wants them but few people value strong relationships or the work that goes into them.
James has said when his friend Carole King let him have this song little did he know it would take him all over the world.
Thank you
OOH!!! Digging that jazzy intro!
If U are diggin' on some more JT but want a little more stank, I'd recommend Steamroller Blues or Traffic Jam. They kick!
Nice reaction. Shower the People is another great song from JT.
One of the best male vocalists/singer/songwriters ever…him, Tom Petty, Jim Croce
Anything James Taylor. He is genuine and so relatable.. Wilburn please dive into his calog. I think you wilappreciate his music!
Other notable songs by JT Shower the People, Country Road, Blossom, and the bluesy tune Steamroller.
Such an iconic song by an iconic singer/guitar player, but ironically he destroyed many of his close friendships and relationships with his very rough substance abuse.
