James Taylor’s first chart hit- and it was a big one- born in 1943 in Boston- Taylor has had a successful career over the past 50 years as a soft rock singer/ songwriter. guitarist. He was voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. I thought he was more successful on the charts- he has had 22 Hot 100 singles- with 14 making the Top 40. His only #1 was “You’ve Got A Friend ” in 1971.
One of the great songs of the seventies. I always turn this one up when it comes on.
Love this song!
Love James Taylor.
Great song. It’s neat seeing him in pix when he still had hair.
