Yes I'm listening! I'm a 73 year old grandmother who grew up in the 70's. I always loved James Taylor! Now more than ever. I have leukemia and his voice comforts me daily. Thank you James!
This song is such a treasure. First, by Buddy Holly, and then JT added so much depth and soul to his version. I love both versions and that is so rare to like the remake as much as the original.
Went to see him in Boston last week. Outstanding band and of course James is so talented. He played 24 songs and during intermission he signed autographs for at least 40 minutes. Just a great musician and a better person.
As always, when I hear James Taylor, I'm in awe of him. Since the old stereo systems are gone, I bought a different kind off the stereo system. Great sound! Just to play James Taylor! The store asked me what music I liked t listen to. I said, well, James Taylor! Al of the store clerks and customers said "YEAH" and they turned the music in the store to James Taylor! LOL 😊🤗❤ Thank You James Taylor!
JAMES Taylor transcends time and the hardest of hearts. He makes me look forward to another 62 years of. James epitomizes that the best of life is in your mind. In good times and hard times. God has blessed your with the gift of the universal language.
Me too, Susan! He actually makes me cry tears of joy. Such an integral part of my life. So many cherished summer concerts going to see him -- always a gift. My mom and I used to sing to his songs together in the car. Many smiles, so many moments his music whisked us away from our daily troubles.
Music that lifts up the heart , gives one the strength to smile and love again . One who helps the sun shine again after a passing storm deserves a special place in Heaven
Oh man...he's excellent artist that's timeless...hard to believe he suffers from mental health and as most like myself have had my days...I hope he feels good all the time...sooo talented. Love him still after 50yrs.❤
Bedside vigil in a Spanish hospital, need the all embracing music, lyrics and joy of James Taylor, one of many special talents that have soothed me, moved me, held me when I'm slipping like he has and continues to do so over the decades, need you more than ever now James and know you won't let me down. Besos Sheila Spain
James is someone I can always go to to pick me up. This last 5 yrs have been tough divorce and struggling with addiction. I wish more people appreciated is talent. We need him and others more like now then even. Peace Everyone
“Gone to Carolina in my Mind” - 1971 Fall in Chapel Hill JT played Carmichael Auditorium (then UNC’s basketball facility) - I got 2 tickets but my sister, a HS senior, adored James - so I gave girlfriend Patty one ticket & sister the other - an hour before showtime I snuck into Carmichael via adjacent Woolen Gym - a guy in the tunnel asked me why was I there? - I told him I was with the stage crew - unexpectedly he assigned me to carry some co-axle cable up to the spotlights - Minutes later I moved down to floor level and laid Patty & sis’s blanket front row - I put a song request list on the piano - the week before event Patty & Sis had a screen printed t-shirt made with “Sweet Baby James” on front (green field with yellow letters) - I took the wrapped shirt to the dressing room but was stopped so I asked security to deliver it - the outside doors opened and Patty & sis joined me at floor level - within 10 feet of JT’s virtuosity - he played his first set - took a brief intermission - then started playing again - after a few more songs Patty pokes me & points toward the entry way from dressing room - leaning against the wall wearing the t-shirt was Carly Simon! No shit! - can’t wait to return to Chapter Hill - Class of ‘74
The Grans ( when they're over ) beg I play this for them. Kid dance, mothers ( and my wife ) dismiss themselves. Tears. I'm 71. I can still play this great music. Peace. To All...
James I really enjoy your music....im 63...and have been playing guitar since i was 10. Your sound was a huge inspiration for me. thank you for all your hard work and dedication to your field. God bless you jim.
This is a great concert. Stellar performances from JT, the band, and his backup singers. I bought the "Pull Over" DVD because I loved it so much, but JT has given us a real treat by putting most of the songs from the concert here on UA-cam for free. I've always said, if you're a fan you really need to see him in concert. He never disappoints.
@Helen Fontsere' Yes, it's a shame that his 2020 concert tours had to be canceled. Let's hope everything is normal enough by next year this time for us to start enjoying events like concerts again. :)
I went to see James & Bonnie Raitt last year for the very first time and was originally supposed to be in the nosebleed section. I'm not sure what happened but they upgraded my seat (BIG time) to the very front row & I was directly in front of Arnold & the other singers. What a thrill to be that close to James & all these tremendous singers that I've been watching on video for the last 30 yrs.

For me - this was my all time favorite number I had ever heard James do......It was some 50 years ago at the Mount Hermon School in MA - that I felt very honored and lucky to have ANY seat at this fabulous concert. But as the concert wore on, as good as everything was - something very marvelous happened to me when I heard him introduce this great "oldie" - later to become such a coveted hit for himself. Chills went up and down my spine, so to speak, as if some mysterious charge of electricity had just awakened me - musically!! I never forgot that song nor his performance of it - with the great band and background singers behind him - many of whom he still performs with today. I can certainly see - from the audience reaction to this very special number for James in this most memorable video clip - that I wasn't the only one who was very taken with his performance of this noteworthy hit. And you can certainly see "why" the song was "saved" for THIS very special moment in the concert....... Also - as an aside - Every time I see James do the number on video, no matter what the time in history - one can easily see just how much HE loves doing the song for a very eager audience!! MANY THANKS, James, for all the wonderful music and times you've given to countless fans and admirers all over the world. And......Many Thanks to all the kind viewers who took a few moments to read my comments......
Love your music sir James T., I grew up listening to these soothing songs. I always play them on my guitar. I hope we can duet and play together. More power!!!

You have an ORIGINAL voice, not a handed down one 😊 you are one of US. The ETERNAL SOULS, IMMORTAL I hope you remembered it throughout the years. 😉 Love ya bro - Hannah
the standing ovation was kill ......i love james that much too ! 45 years listen to the man . I met his brother Livingston in about 1993 I think , in Newport , Rhode Island ....we partied our asses off !!!
@Helen Fontsere' randyedward Yes, It's play, of course. . But it's also getting down to business. Watching JT strap on the guitar at that moment is just special. He has a relationship with his instrument that is deep and it is part of who he is. It is home base.
@@cecilphillip9071 What has 'but' got to do with anything. Most musicians are liberal, to be fair. How about we simply enjoy his music and leave the armchair politics for another day?!?! Peace!

Yes I'm listening! I'm a 73 year old grandmother who grew up in the 70's. I always loved James Taylor! Now more than ever. I have leukemia and his voice comforts me daily. Thank you James!
I hope you are feeling better and listening to the healing effects of music. I'm cheering for you! Ron

What a great American treasure!!! I am still listening in 2020. Anyone else still listening to this music icon?
Every Day!
absolutely, always and forever, got kleenex and good memories of home when I listen to him
I grew up with my folks listening to him and now I do. Very soothing rock and his voice. Now my boys love it💞
Yes. To quote him “I listen to him if not everyday”.
Martin gardner Love your comment!
This song is such a treasure. First, by Buddy Holly, and then JT added so much depth and soul to his version. I love both versions and that is so rare to like the remake as much as the original.
That's true, I can only count them on one hand
Just a mention for those incredible musicians and backing singers who all bring their A game to respect James Taylor and his music. 💕
So sad today to hear of the passing of David Lasley, RIP and thanks for the memories.
That intro alone, every person heard on that stage, so beautiful and peaceful, like a glorious new day is breaking.
When he starts singing, it's
Like a refreshing stream of spring water falling on your head.
Went to see him in Boston last week. Outstanding band and of course James is so talented. He played 24 songs and during intermission he signed autographs for at least 40 minutes. Just a great musician and a better person.
this bass player is absolutely fantastic. He is quite literally carrying the melody
Tony Levin and Leland Sklar are great bass players. Prolific session musicians as well as touring musicians, they contributed so much in JT's songs
You can really tell how much James Taylor just really loves singing, even after all these years and all he's been through.
Indeed!!
As always, when I hear James Taylor, I'm in awe of him.
Since the old stereo systems are gone, I bought a different kind off the stereo system. Great sound!
Just to play James Taylor!
The store asked me what music I liked t listen to.
I said, well, James Taylor!
Al of the store clerks and customers said "YEAH" and they turned the music in the store to
James Taylor! LOL 😊🤗❤
Thank You James Taylor!
Does he know how happy he makes people feel when he sings? I he does, because he makes me feel like I could fly! Love, love, love James Taylor!!!
JAMES Taylor transcends time and the hardest of hearts. He makes me look forward to another 62 years of. James epitomizes that the best of life is in your mind. In good times and hard times. God has blessed your with the gift of the universal language.
Blessed "survivalist" ;)
Agree, he's voice and songs are relaxing, and it makes me feel like I want to go to a place alone.
💕💕💕👌

Music that lifts up the heart , gives one the strength to smile and love again . One who helps the sun shine again after a passing storm deserves a special place in Heaven
Yes....why the need to ask the question....going strong in 2021 and will just on, still happily listening.
This guy has given comfort and made me smile for more than half of my life. I was 16 when you had that debut album.
Thank you Sweet Baby James
Never another like JT. The most calming, soothing voice in music. Man, can we use JT's music today.
Buddy Holly’s song captured the feel and innocence of his era. James Taylor did a beautiful job of adding his flavor to this classic
I saw him in Auckland NZ in the late 80s as a teen.very talented man and a real showman.still listening 30+ years later..
The mighty James Taylor...an elite and legend that can't be emulated...not even from the stars...God bless you,James.😇
Anne Chu. You make every day a Joy. Love you for that.
You're sooo right, Anne ! ! !
James makes me feel exactly the same way ! ! ! 😉🙃😎
It's 2023...still listening ❤😊 with my 7 year old daughter.. who also sings with me hehehe
Oh man...he's excellent artist that's timeless...hard to believe he suffers from mental health and as most like myself have had my days...I hope he feels good all the time...sooo talented.
Love him still after 50yrs.❤
I listen to James everyday…it’s the highlight of my day. It’s all fun and relaxing, and I feel lighter and less stressed….thank you !!
Been diggin James Taylor since my early teens. He hasn't lost an inch. His voice has gotten better with age.
he sang like 24 songs in that Pull Over concert and his voice is crystal clear till the end. What an amazing singer.
I will never take live music for granted again 🤠 2021
fabulous Buddy Holly would have been so proud to have his song performed like this.
Still listening - 2024 - Tks, James!

Jim you're still great, I loved you from the 70's and still love you today with your soothing voice and relaxing music!!!!!!

James is the Ultimate Troubadour
He’s wondrous.Thank you, Mr. Taylor, for all your joyous, heartfelt, music.

🥀Beautiful Song amazing lyrics, vocals and music with meaning of unconditional love within🥀☝️
Such a great great song
After all these years James! Really never understood where you were taking us! Upstairs to God! Thanks JT!
He really got the voice.
Been listening to JT since 1985 until now. One of my fave growing up.
Does he understand music - hell yeah, he invented it!
Absolutely...James is the cure. Listening to him will always make you feel better!
Arnold McCullen - David Lasley - Kate Markovitz - Valerie Carter, the best vocals section EVER.

L' UNESCO deve fare James Taylor patrimonio del mondo.
It's sad how many of his band members have passed away over the years. At least two of the folks in this video are gone.
Love that moment at 1:17. He straps on the guitar and now it's time to get to work.
It's not work, he plays!
@Helen Fontsere' randyedward Yes, It's play, of course. . But it's also getting down to business. Watching JT strap on the guitar at that moment is just special. He has a relationship with his instrument that is deep and it is part of who he is. It is home base.
Don't take "work" so damn seriously. I'm a musician. I get it. Lighten up y'all.
Mom's favorite!
Next to Buddy Holly, this is the best rendition. James makes it his own.
