James looks so proud of his handsome son. Almost as if he is looking at himself from a different place. How beautiful to experience!
My favorite James Taylor song. Great version
He was speaking of Henry on Colbert so I had to see what I could find of Henry Taylor on utube. You are so right - when he speaks of Henry you can just hear how proud he is of Henry and his talent. Hope to see more from Henry in future.
I wish he had the same pride in his amazingly talented son Ben, the son he abandoned when he was a junkie and who was raised by his first wife, Carly Simon.
I’ve been listening to James for 50 years now, and he never disappoints. Cool to see him with his son!
Me too.
1974. The girls in my dorm, my floor, got together and replaced my record, his first, because they had worn the grooves out. Husband claims that's not possible with vinyl, but he doesn't understand teenage girls. (I think I'm about 30 still, so I have a hard time claiming that memory.)
Henry look so much like his dad and sounds wonderful too! James Taylor’s voice is a national treasure!!!!
No he does not.
Ben Taylor is his spitting image -- and sounds much more like him, too.
But James loathes Ben's mother, so . . .
JT is despicable, as far as I'm concerned.
@@mariab6389 I agree with you. Neither the appearance nor the voice ... Ben Taylor really looks like James 😍
@@mariab6389 Ben doesn't sound like his dad at all. Ben and Henry sound more similar. Ben has that quiet deep voice.
@@martingardner9124 We can agree to disagree.
When I heard him singing on a television ad, I mistook him for JT.
That's how similar they sound to me.

I used to sign this to my youngest daughter every night when she was a baby....I surprised her on her wedding day and sang it to her at the reception
What?! Wow!! Beautiful.
Wow,way to make me cry! Beautiful!
Great story for a dad and daughter, the most treasured things in life are still free.
What a sensational father you are!
Douglas, my daughter's lullabies were Simon & Garfunkel's "59th street Bridge song (Feelin' Groovy)" ...and James Taylor's "Sweet Baby James." Lovely music.
We played this song at my husband's funeral. Such a beautiful simple song for breaking hearts.
I'm sorry for your loss. May the good LORD provide comfort and peace in your heart. In Jesus name. Amen.
@Sandy Peak May your husband’s memory continue to endure as a blessing.
What a beautiful song to play at the funeral.
I’ve asked to have some James Taylor music at my funeral. He has always brought me joy and comfort.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost the love of my life too. Here's to better days in better places.
What a beautiful moment between father and son, and how wonderful that James has passed on the gift of music ♥
Carly helped pass down the gift of music too.
I think Carly is Ben’s mom, not Henry’s.
There is and will always be only one James Taylor. God bless him and keep him safe.
I’d say this is pretty much a full circle moment for us JT junkies! I’ve lost count the number of times my best friend and I have seen JT. My two sons, now men, grew up listening to their mom serenade them acapella at nap or bedtime. Even thru Henry’s nervousness, the admiration and love for his father seemed present. I just love the two of them together. Thanks to whomever uploaded this.
Yeah 🧡 great and scary as hell too
I’d sing this to my baby boy (he has Down syndrome) when he was in Neonatal & later hospitalizations. He still loves to hear it today! Many thanks for posting and for the Taylor’s beautiful performance!
What a precious memory! How old is your boy now?
@@maryannturton9830 he’s 19 years and very much a ‘typical’ teenager … seemingly eats pizza for every meal; sleeps ‘till noon on non school days; wants to ‘look cool’ for the girls … but he still loves for me to sing to/for him ❤️
@@rockhead1428 That's great👍
Hi, Rock Head. I am also the father to a Down syndrome son. He tells me that he picked me to be his dad. Who am I to disagree? He is 16 and has survived leukemia, lymphoma, and is still not well. He is my hero and the man that I try to be.
All the best to you and yours. Bless you for singing to him, loving him like you do, and sharing it with others. We are so blessed to have these guys!
@@independentmusicguy thank you for reaching out to me and sharing your story! Brought tears to my eyes!
Watched this at work. Coworkers asking why I have goosebumps.
I get goosebumps with just about any jt song I'm 64 my parents turned me on to him . I learn to play guitar to his songs and still play him today .I could listen to him all day
The world will absolutely not be the same when we lose this tender soul.
Well, this old world will still be spinning around...if there is a world left.
I sang this song to all my children, grandchildren and countless pediatric patients. Thanks for the memories.
PS to my comment: The pride and love in JT's eyes for his son is beautiful to behold.
My son used to ask me at bedtime: " Mommy, sing the blues"... Our baby lullaby. Priceless performance.
James looks quite proud of his son!!🥰
I am happy he has such a beautiful son to hopefully carry on the tradition of great singing.
I was lucky enough to be present for this concert. This last song was so very touching and beautiful on so many levels. JT is indeed a national treasure.
Played this for my Mom as she was dying from Dementia......even put it on her Zoom funeral at the end as a tribute. Needless to say, got rather choked up when I saw this in ATL last Tuesday.
I was there but we left early to miss the traffic.
But thank God for CZcams!
He ADORES his boy ❤️
Oh my. The Harmony just made my skin tingle
Beautiful! You can tell how much they love each other.
Apple doesn’t fall from from the tree - what a pleasure ❤️
Saw this exact final song last night at their concert in Greensboro. Brought me to tears…it was emotionally overwhelming. “You can sing this song…when I’m gone.” 😢😞
the apple definitely doesn't fall far from the tree!!! Great moment between father and son! He learned from the best!
I had bought an album of lullabyes for my baby son. The artist was a female folk singer, but I fell in love with song and saw that it was written by James Taylor.
I sang this to my son many times over 20 years ago.
What an amazing moment when James and Henry closed the concert out with this song a few nights ago.
I felt the moment was for me.
We all did much right. We can celebrate the beauty in our children. We will live forever in their smile.
So cute, you can see the proud Dad feeling that James has. What a beautiful memory for them both.
Such a sweet song and a sweet moment. You can see the pride and love in James' face.
😊😊I'm very pleased to know I'm not the only one that loves the song but when last did you play it.
@@ginocandia1516 LOL, Oscar! Not all his fans are musicians or singers! Some of us are just good audiences!
@@amandawilcox9638 who I'm I talking to, are you a female how old are you?
Beautiful song I've known by heart for 50 years and loved this with father and son!!!
oh my, beautiful! I remember when Henry and his brother Rufus were born....JT came to Chapel Hill in 2003 and for a ceremony in his honor and mentioned his twin boys then....amazing to see this in 2021!
This song always brings me to tears. I played this one at my husbands funeral.
Oh my God. Who wouldn’t want to be a child of James Taylor. Just love him. My heart is bursting with love. 🌸💕
This is my absolute favorite James Taylor tune & gave me goose bumps seeing him sing it with his son Henry. I’m a major fan & have been listening & following James since my 1st concert at age 12.
What a lovely way to start out listening to concerts!
I can't tell you how beautiful I find this rendition with father and son. My heart is bursting with love for both of you!
We had front row. It was amazing.
Omg! Treasure your memories, Dorothy!
I love this song. I also love the rendition that Carly Simon did with Sally & Ben, James' older children. Hauntingly beautiful.
There's a video of the three of them on Oprah that's got terrible audio.
How proud his mom and dad must be! I’m moved to tears.
Henry just needs the mustache...I grew up singing to James Taylor's songs...thank you James...and Henry..
I've seen JT three times in an amphitheater arena, and have loved hearing him always; this one brought tears to my eyes. Go, Henry, carry on, carry on!
I'm very pleased to know I'm not the only one that loves😊😃 the song but when last did you play it.
@@ginocandia1516 is this comment your meme? You keep repeating it.
Glad I wasn’t the only one brought to tears on this song.
I'm a huge James Taylor fan seeing him live 4 or 5 times but to see his son Henry on the stage is awesome ! FIRE & RAIN will always be my #1 Favorite song with JT and it forever remain !!
When I hear James Taylor I can smell the Appalachian trail,snow covered mountains of Colorado,and the California coast. Danny here in Puerto Rico.
Kind of amazing when you look at the Taylor family history of musicians...Kate, Alex, Livingston, James, and now his son(s).
And Daughter. and I do believe there might be a nephew/maybe a niece too.
If you told me that Angels dance to this duet, I'd believe you.
🤦🏻♀️Why's there a tear, running down my cheek?
🇨🇦✌🏻🎶🎸✍🏻♥️✨🌍💫
Dads love their sons … you can sing this song when I’m gone.
The sweetest rendition of the sweetest song ever...
I was just a teenager, but I was so broken hearted when James and Carly broke up. I don't know why, but those two together really seemed to have an impact on me to this day. It is just so unbelievable how swift the years pass. Just so darn swift.
A proud papa
So nice! Always loved that tune. Out of his 3 sons, Henry looks the most like JT did at that age.
i’d have to disagree. Ben looks far more like James, they’re almost a carbon copy of the same person. Ben also sounds exactly like his father. Henry has a nice voice but he doesn’t have the voice that Benjamin and James have
@@elijahcambry3319 agree
@@elijahcambry3319 agree 💯
@@elijahcambry3319 Ben looks like his mother, sounds like James.
Is Carly Simon his mom?!
Oh goodness, this is a treat to see. Henry is such a fine looking young man too
It's heartwarming how many people have commented "I sang this to my babies." I don't have any offspring, but I have sung it to many babies over the years....
James is our national treasure.
Just listen to this song James still sounds good and his son has a really nice voice The Sun also reminds me a lot of James Taylor when he was younger they look a lot alike
Oh JT and Henry! My heart is overflowing hearing your duet of this favorite, beautiful song. Father and son~how sweet it is. The sound of your guitars and voices together just about does me in. I hope, hope, hope you might do this at Tanglewood next 4th of July (we've been waiting a year and a half to be there for the annual 4th of July concert!!)
That was absolutely wonderful. Talent runs in the family!
Loved it, and you can see in that JT nod that he is passing this song to his son when he is gone.
Yes. I can tell he's "passing the torch".
I loved it then. I love it now in 2021…..Thank u!
They are both so proud of each other and the relationship they have. So very cool. If they never set foot on another stage again, they would still have this very special bond as father and son.
Handsome lad and proud dad~
brings me overwhelming peace
I saw James and Jackson in Philly last night. What a beautiful evening of music! This was such a sweet moment. Thank you for capturing it!
I’m seeing him tonight in NY
I can’t wait I’ve wanted to see him my whole life
I already know to bring the tissues because it’ll be an emotional concert for me 💕💕💕💕
I was there too! Amazing 👏 Camden, NJ
I saw them at Pine Knob. Henry sang backup, but didn't do a duet with his dad.
@@hsoderberg9929 ....and I saw him in Louisville! We didn't get this duet, though, but Jackson came back out.
@@hsoderberg9929 I went in Chicago. We didn't get this either (Nor did we get You've Got a Friend as we always do when I see him). I planned to go back closer to home but that was canned due to circumstances beyond my control.
Just at saw them do this together a few weeks ago, Sunrise FL. Sang it to my babies… now 38 and 47❣️
Same amazing sound we enjoyed last Saturday night in NOLA! James and Henry are just incredible as a duo. I’ve listened to James since the late ‘60’s or very early ‘70’s - he’s my all-time favorite musician, and I’m delighted that Henry has joined his dad in so many gigs. Looking forward to many more concerts and recordings. 💞
So very lovely - one of my favorite songs ever. I sang it my children every night for years. I can’t sing it without choking up.❤️
Daddy and Son...Mirroring.....beautiful...not just in golf....absolutely lovely
😊😊I'm very pleased to know I'm not the only one that loves the song but when last did you play it.
Lovely. Handsome men too!.(I've loved the song for decades!)
always so good. henry can sing. i would love to see ben and sally singing with dad too.
😊😊I'm very pleased to know I'm not the only one that loves the song but when last did you play it.
Ben and his dad did a side by side tour one year. Unlike how Jackson Browne opens and JT does his own set and they duet at the end of each one this one started out just James Taylor and then Ben joined him and they did songs by both (JT & Ben songs) over two sets.
@@ginocandia1516 Okay, you're just odd.
that was great! TY!
Beautiful! ❤️
Oh loved this!!!
lovely to see them!
So beautiful 💜
Beautiful.
Perfect 💕
How beautiful!!!!!
Beautiful ❤️ thank you 😊 for sharing this 💖
I love this song.
Saw. JT. 40 years ago. Music Hall in Cincinnati Ohio. It was one of the best concerts I have ever been too.
oh how wonderful
Beautiful
So beautiful
Love this song!
I met my husband at the tender age of 13 & he was 14 yrs. old. Everyone would try and separate us. Parents, school, siblings, friends, church friends, even the state ( we were "too young"). I would sit with his head in my lap and I would sing this song to him. We longed to be together and he could "stay as long as he liked". We married at 16 yrs old, and we are still deeply in love. He can now, and forever stay as long as he likes! This was a precious thing to watch and see the love of a parent and child. Brings back many sweet memories to this old woman of 65! Thank you for the post. A real treat in many ways!
I love this song!! AWESOMENESS
Really really beautiful
Beautiful 😍
Timeless.
Love this song.
What a special moment together! Love you both!
Wow what a wonderful duo !!🥰
So good! They played it last nite, Dec 11,2021 in Columbus, Ohio! It was the best concert ever!!!
Brings me to tears.
What A great concert that was!
The harmony is perfect and so pretty! Thank you, such an honor!
This is great! Thank you for sharing!
Fantastic!! Love seeing it come full circle as it did with Ben. Henry sounds so much like his dad, yet has his own style as well. Especially on electric guitar. Thanks for sharing this. Great video!!
One of my all time favorites 🤗❤️
Wow, this was great! ❤️ Elaine
Taylor is a national treasure
It was beautiful song
Love this
