I’m in tears. I had a rough childhood with my parents but this was the man they would put on when times were good and I just can’t ever thank him enough for easing my soul. ❤️❤️❤️🇮🇪
sending love to you - I also had struggles in my childhood - but learned to look for joy as I grew- our past may launch us but does NOT define us! xoxo
I had a copy of Greatest Hits I stole from my father when I was ~10 years old. Got me through the worst times in my childhood, and I tear up to this day. Him and I still bond over this fantastic album every once in a great while.
WOW. And judging by the comments below, I wasn't the ONLY one who cried through this! I'm 70 now, and I've been a huge JT fan for about 50 years....a superb songwriter and singer. {And YES, that was Will Lee on bass, from the "World's Most Dangerous Band!"}.
I raised my daughter on the music of James Taylor. Since birth her youngest child has found his music soothing and we share that love in a special bond.
JAMES TAYLOR leads on "Shower The People" with this group on The Late Show in 2019. He comes back to the Late Show in 2022 with the same song. This time another group supports the music. And what do you know... the same heartfelt magic. This song is sooo needed in these crazy times... as it was many years ago when he first sang it.
Honestly! Who else at his age can hit those high notes? Health, happiness and living right kept this man honest. Love, love, love you James! You can sing to me any time.
Amazing ! This man is my every childhood memory and in turn I raised my children to his songs. #jamestaylor you are amazing and it is my biggest dream to see you live ❤️
No one will ever be able to Achieve, Accomplish and Enjoy such Incredible Musical Talents. Add in his Heartwarming “Tales and Stories”, and we can’t ever forget Just how Real and Remarkable He Is Down to Earth with His infectious smile
I have been in love with handsome James since the 70’s from my ex-husband’s Chapel Hill UNC days. I have everything he has ever done His music has seen me through all my good times and rough times. He is eternal xxoooooo
This song has always teared me up since I was a kid. JT is so amazing and so underrated. Thank you mom for introducing me to this incredible legend. RIP
That luscious JT guitar style has only gotten sweeter with age. Beautiful. It might be a world-class Olsen guitar he's playing, but I bet not many make it sound THAT good. A true master of his craft.
Have seen him in large and small concert venues…..alone and with Carole king…a true gentleman who takes the time to greet his audiences during intermission. Amazing talent and no ego…..
All you who love this man, listen to his Audiophile piece Break Shot. Oh my my. I love this man so much and since 8th grade which is about 50 years ago. Such a brilliant talent, poet and craftsman. I’m so happy for him that he’s finally found a love that makes him happy 💖
Thank God James' father came & rescued him from & terrible situation & James found some serious strength to get past his demons. He has honored us with his talents & the world is a better place for him having been here.
Also in tears! Our world needs James Taylor, NOW, more than ever before. If we all listened to this once a day, we would be be kinder, and the world would change. Its essential that we fill our hearts with whatever is beautiful (JT) and we must LAUGH. (Colbert). Its simple- but individually and as a country- we become what we think about. Whats been on YOUR mind lately?
I'm a seventy one year old life long musician. I find so much more quality in the works of musicians who have lived. We will only be around for a short time. I can only hope that the young will listen. There is value here.
My dad introduce James Taylor when I started to playing music now I am 18 most of my colleagues will find it boring but for me this is my go to drive song
The best night of my life was watching James live here in Auckland New Zealand 🇳🇿 with the most beautiful woman in the world who got us the tickets my wife ❤️ thanks babe love you always
I’m sorry. I just cannot fathom it. How can our world simultaneously hold the bottomless evil of Putin - and, at the same time, produce the transcendent beauty of James Taylor?
He could’ve been in world tour now if no pandemic. I’m in 40s right now and I bought an album of him when I was in college and discovered this song and the rest of his best hits.
no arnold. no kate. i don't see andrea either. the only "singer" i recognize is lou marini, as you point out. would love to know who the others are. nice to see clifford carter back in the band!
I'm pretty sure that was Bernie Williams. He didn't have many from people form the band he normally tours with on the Colbert show last nite. I guess that he just got together some NYC musicians. But, Arnold Andrea & Kate will be on tour with him this spring.

Kate T unfortunately my trauma continues in my present ❤️❤️
He is good for the soul ❤️

A living legend. Not enough of Taylor in the world.
No one replied

He knows that theater quite well.
I wonder why Jimmy Johnson wasn't playing.
He has such a sweet, gentle demeanor. There's nobody like him and there never will be.
His guitar is like a river straight to the soul
I raised my daughter on the music of James Taylor. Since birth her youngest child has found his music soothing and we share that love in a special bond.
James Taylor sure knows how to make great songs. A true artist...
I danced with my son to this song at his wedding. The lyrics say it all. One of my favorite JT songs.
Do you ever just want to say thank you. This is the music of my youth. Back when James and Carly lived on the island. Good people both.
2:40-3:00 incredible moment of musical artistry. Simple yet timeless.
There's a voice full of memories and Truth. 😍
I adore James Taylor's voice and music!
Ditto
Musical genius! His music is timeless, and healing, James Taylor you #ROCK..♥️🎸♥️
Truth and greatness. Thank you for spreading the love all these years, James!
In tears, thank you sweet baby James!

Incomparable yet humble; so rare.
On his 1976 album... 43 years later and we still haven't learned the value of this message at heart level. 😇❤🙏❤😇❤🙏❤😇
Fierce Facts Never will, on this earth, that is.
Amazing
Loved his music 50 years ago and love it now. Pure genius.
... And this ladies and gentlemen... that is MUSIC..... ❤️💖💘
Honestly! Who else at his age can hit those high notes? Health, happiness and living right kept this man honest. Love, love, love you James! You can sing to me any time.
God bless you James.. Thank you for your beautiful music
Finally got to see this wonderful guy live in Leeds, UK last year... had me in bits. Just magic.
Amazing ! This man is my every childhood memory and in turn I raised my children to his songs. #jamestaylor you are amazing and it is my biggest dream to see you live ❤️
Listing to this as I nurse my elderly bed bound mother who is battling advanced vascular dementia. Breaking my heart 💔
absolutely adore him and his beautiful, gorgeous music.
James still looks and sounds great. I pray to the lord that he stays with us for many many more years. Love you James.

James is still the best! Was fortunate enough to see him in concert a few years ago. Absolutely lovely!
I agree with you I saw him in concert in Norfolk Virginia summer of 1977
Abundant emotions, choruses added to words that always inspire thought and more thought. Then I glance up and see that smile...thank you, James!
Still sounds great
I have been in love with handsome James since the 70’s from my ex-husband’s Chapel Hill UNC days.
I have everything he has ever done
His music has seen me through all my good times and rough times.
He is eternal xxoooooo

The emotional array of vocals accompanying Sweet Baby James is powerful!
Brilliant. Brings back so many memories. ❤

James Taylor, my buddy, my man love your music
My favourite will always be Fire & Rain
Gorgeous.song.. I love it.
This song made me cry...
Simply That !
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
my first concert in 70 (or 71). my mom went to the local stationary store to buy tickets for us..... JT, Carole King and Jo Mama. In Anaheim, Calif.
This album also had a great duet with Stevie Wonder... “Don’t Be Sad Cause Your Sun is Down”
Legend.
Just the very best♥
It's one of my feel-good-songs that I always play in my car. 😀
I was hoping he would never get old.
Don't forget the fabulous "Blue Lou" Lou Marini on backing vocals (far left).
Thought that was Gerald mcrainey
Legendary!
My dad introduce James Taylor when I started to playing music now I am 18 most of my colleagues will find it boring but for me this is my go to drive song

Lyrics of our life. Love you JT😍
I’m sorry. I just cannot fathom it. How can our world simultaneously hold the bottomless evil of Putin - and, at the same time, produce the transcendent beauty of James Taylor?

Joining in the drumms by a GREAT MUSICIAN FROM MEXICO. Mr. Antonio Sanchez

He could’ve been in world tour now if no pandemic. I’m in 40s right now and I bought an album of him when I was in college and discovered this song and the rest of his best hits.

Blue Lou singing backup! Cool! 😊
Por favor, todo esto tiene que terminar, está en juego mi salud!
He had aged but not his austanding voice.Song that touched hearts 💟🌤
❤
Is that Bernie Williams on Guitar? I know Blue Lou is on the far left. I think Arnold, Andrea and Kate but I am not sure who the other gentleman is
no arnold. no kate. i don't see andrea either. the only "singer" i recognize is lou marini, as you point out. would love to know who the others are. nice to see clifford carter back in the band!
I'm pretty sure that was Bernie Williams. He didn't have many from people form the band he normally tours with on the Colbert show last nite. I guess that he just got together some NYC musicians. But, Arnold Andrea & Kate will be on tour with him this spring.
I only recognized Kim his wife as the background singers.
Was that Will Lee on bass?
Yep. That’s Will. ✌️
Yep. That’s Will. ✌️
Yep. That’s Will. ✌️
Yep. That’s Will. ✌️
Too bad they didn't acknowledge his return to the Ed Sullivan Theater stage.
