      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!"}.

    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.

    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.

    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?
