After Fire and Rain, Shower the People is my favorite JT song. This rendition is superb. A message that could heal the world if we all just listened. My son and I danced to this at his wedding 13 years ago. Loving memories.
I met JT with my husband Vittorio when he came in PARIS and he signed my 33RPM I could not beleive it....I am 68 from Canada but lived along time in PARIS when we saw the advert. my husband RAN to get tickets,,,,,,will never forget
Going to see him in Dublin next week ..can't wait ....seen him many times and he never ever disappoints. He is a legend in the true meaning of the word....
JT and band still strong in 2017, got to see them in February with my girl at the new Sydney Convention Centre. This song a highlight, still brilliant after all these years.
Was deeply privileged to see the amazing JT once again in Glasgow this week and Shower the People is always a highlight for me. Love it and you JT. Arnold...for me "THE" voice! You're amazing. Bless you both. xx
This song is almost spiritual. The way JT looks with his kind compassionate face, so mellow and open. His vocal technique no longer as important as the sincerity of his message. Amazing.
I've always respected that about James Taylor, and it's apparent in a lot of his collaborations with other musicians; he knows when to get out of the way and let another musician shine.
James Taylor has a great voice for the songs he writes and sings, then just when you think this performance can't get any better, Arnold McCuller kicks in. Brilliant.
from Jose' Sepulveda........The backing vocalist you are wondering about as to his identity is Arnold McCuller, the great vocalist from Ohio. See him sing the Star Spangled Banner in the movie "The Sum Of All Fears".......tremendous......
You can play the game, you can act out the part, though you know it wasn't written for you. Tell me, how do you stand there with your broken heart all ashamed of playing the fool? but one thing can lead to another; it doesn't take any sacrifice. Oh, father and mother, and sister and brother, if it feels nice, don't think twice, just shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel. Things are gonna turn out fine if we only will, if we only will just shower the people you love with love, show them the way you feel. Things are gonna be much better if we only will. You can run but you cannot hide, this is widely known. Tell me, what you plan to do with your foolish pride when you're all by yourself, alone. Once you tell somebody the way that you feel, you can feel it beginning to ease. I think it's true what they say about the squeaky old wheel always getting the grease. Got to shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel. Things are gonna be just fine if we only will, if we only will Won't you just shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel. Things are gonna be much better if we only will. Shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel. Shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel. They say in every life sometimes the rain will fall But like the falling rain pouring down Make it rain Make it rain Make it rain Make it rain of love love love love ...a sun shower..make it make it make it rain down in love love love love a sun shower sing everybody everybody love somebody you gotta love someone oh love Things are gonna be much better if you only will....

Thank you Arnold - what a great band, you should be proud! You have sung with Phil Collins haven’t you?
After Fire and Rain, Shower the People is my favorite JT song. This rendition is superb. A message that could heal the world if we all just listened. My son and I danced to this at his wedding 13 years ago. Loving memories.
who else but JT would offer up the spotlight like this. His warmth and generosity never fails to amaze me
I met JT with my husband Vittorio when he came in PARIS and he signed my 33RPM I could not beleive it....I am 68 from Canada but lived along time in PARIS when we saw the advert. my husband RAN to get tickets,,,,,,will never forget

Outstanding! JT & the band played Plymouth on 5th Sept '14 & they were superb - Arnold knocked this song out of the park - what a voice!!

James Taylor has a great voice for the songs he writes and sings, then just when you think this performance can't get any better, Arnold McCuller kicks in. Brilliant.

Absolutely love this!! what is the name of the black backing vocalist ?
from Jose' Sepulveda........The backing vocalist you are wondering about as to his identity is Arnold McCuller, the great vocalist from Ohio. See him sing the Star Spangled Banner in the movie "The Sum Of All Fears".......tremendous......
Why has every version of James Taylor singing this on RUclips been changed to high speed?!!!?
You can play the game, you can act out the part,
though you know it wasn't written for you.
Tell me, how do you stand there with your broken heart all ashamed of playing the fool?
but one thing can lead to another; it doesn't take any sacrifice.
Oh, father and mother, and sister and brother, if it feels nice, don't think twice,
just shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel.
Things are gonna turn out fine if we only will, if we only will
just shower the people you love with love, show them the way you feel.
Things are gonna be much better if we only will.
You can run but you cannot hide, this is widely known.
Tell me, what you plan to do with your foolish pride when you're all by yourself, alone.
Once you tell somebody the way that you feel, you can feel it beginning to ease.
I think it's true what they say about the squeaky old wheel always getting the grease.
Got to shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel.
Things are gonna be just fine if we only will, if we only will
Won't you just shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel.
Things are gonna be much better if we only will.
Shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel.
Shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel.
They say in every life sometimes the rain will fall
But like the falling rain pouring down
Make it rain Make it rain Make it rain Make it rain of love
love love love ...a sun shower..make it make it make it rain down in love love love love
a sun shower
sing everybody everybody
love somebody
you gotta love someone
oh love
Things are gonna be much better if you only will....
OMG, who is that male back up singer? I want to hear more of HIM.
Showering YOU!
wow!
Maravilhosossssssss
The way we should all be.
@RichardisDead
Yes that is steve
I believe Sam Cooke is back and doing well.
@Sizzey46 Arnold McCuller
@csreeves Absolutely!!!
TOP
The backing guy steals it 199%
The bass player looks like a very youthful Leland Sklar, but if it's from 2009, it can't be. His son, perhaps?
Jimmy Johnson
Can surely sing...
Only Arnold can make Sweet Baby James a back up singer......
mmmmm, mmmmmm.
Arnold!
Arnold Mc Culler is the best !!!!
This is the shit. Best back ups and band JT has ever had.
Arnold McCuller snatched poor James’ song right from him lol.
