Carly Simon’s stellar backing vocals fit perfectly too.
The former Mrs. Taylor!
Iconic alto sax solo by the late great David Sanborn who succumbed to prostate cancer last month.
RIP. Anyone who had anything to do with this. Remembered fondly.
An awful way to go. I lost my husband to that and it was such a brutally ugly thing to go through. 💔
@@CalamityJ765 My condolences.to you and your family.
I didn't know about Dave passing away. Such a great performance.
@@CalamityJ765Sorry for you loss. My dad passed away from complications of prostate cancer. May your husband rest in peace.
JAMES TAYLOR AND J.D. SOUTHER - " HER TOWN TOO " 🎸🎶 1981 Classic you guys are gonna like this song too it's Amazing. The Bass & the Drums+ incredible Acoustic and Electric Guitar combined sounds Super Groovy
Excellent choice
He did write one of the saddest songs ever- “ Fire and Rain”- his greatest tune. Watch him sing it live from ‘ 71.
The story behind "Fire and Rain" is just heartbreaking......and that's a song that I would encourage the fellows to explore.
Sax solo.......David Sanborn.....passed away less than a month ago......IMO..the greatest pop/rock sax soloist in history.....check out Young Americans by David Bowie. Better yet.... The Dream by David Sanborn.
Love James Taylor. What a great singer songwriter. His style is more folk rock. I grew up with his music & had some of his records. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 100 million records worldwide. He had a lot of hits such as "You've Got A Friend", "Fire & Rain", "Carolina In My Mind", "Handy Man", "Sweet Baby James", "Shower The People", "Your Smiling Face" etc. He was married at one time to Carly Simon. They had a few duets together including "Mockingbird" & "Devoted to You".
My favorite of their songs as a duo is Terra Nova!
I think I hear her voice in the backing vocals of this song, too.
Nice to hear Carly in the background. 😍
Great song! Happy to see Ty back! Yay🎉🎉🎉
And the perfection of uber bassist Leland Sklar
James is Amazing!! Another great song is “Up on a Roof”. So happy to see you Ty! Nothing beats The Trio back together again 😍😊
True it's a cover but more importantly, a testament to James' love for his then wife Carly Simon. If you love How Sweet, check out JT's "Shower the People", his followup his success w Gorilla. Btw not only is Carly singing harmony w James Graham Nash and David Crosby provide backup harmonies on several tracks.
I suggest his "Shower the People" from 1976. Another feelgood hit.
Good to see you Ty, and great choice of a song! You can never go wrong with James Taylor. For your consideration--his live version of "Steamroller" and "Fire and Rain."
His wife at the time, Carly Simon, was backup on this song.
The late great David Sanborn on sax! Great song.
Carly Simon backing vocals on the choruses, and if you focus in on it, it's a really interesting harmony line she chooses.
Yes. Her harmonies are stellar!
I remember as a teenager trying to learn that harmony! Happy to say I can do it now!!!!😂
James Taylor's voice is just great. This is one of his r and b covers. Handy Man and he and Carly's duet on Mockingbird are two other r&B covers. Sound so fine. He doesn't sound like Marvin Gaye, but he is still bringing the magic.
Loves James Taylor! And Carley Simon…bonus!
Carly
Carly
That's Carly Simon on background vocals... 🙂
James Taylor a grampa vibe? FYI, JT in the 70's was a heartbreaker. Very handsome guy. His wife Carly Simon is singing with him on this one. JT is one of the very best and so is Carly.
Sweet Baby James!
We do love and miss you Ty! This is a great old song from James. You really can't miss with him 😊
Fire and Rain will show you James's bad day.... it's a moving song about the tragic loss of a friend. A must listen in his catalog of great music
Awww, we miss you so much Ty! So glad to see you again.
sweet baby james....
JT has soul. His songs and voice can't help but touch your heart. I've been in love with him, his voice, his message since the 70s. Try listening to Going to Carolina in My Mind and also Fire and Rain.
He was the nice guy Singer songwriter with a guitar,good looking guy that few women would have said no if they caught his eyes. Just a breezy guy we all loved
he was also in a tragic time, struggling terribly with heavy heroin addiction and alcohol. which he's discussed.
David Sanborn on saxophone was ubiquitous in 70's and 80's on pop songs; invaluable
How sweet it is...to see all three of you together again! And what a touching gesture, Ty, to dedicate it to the 502 crew. Many thanks--we all appreciate it. Well, I'm gonna put it out there again: Kenny Loggins' "Celebrate Me Home" would be a super choice for Ty's next homecoming. 'Til then, I'll laugh about "coccaine Jesus", (too perfect 🤣), and suggest listening to some of James Taylor's earlier stuff from his excellent singer-songwriter period. His distinctive, warm voice puts a great spin on a lot of covers, but his early songs are very real and revealing of his personal trials.
Sweet Baby James, great performer lucky to see him many times.
Top 40 radio played the crap out of this in the summer of '75 when I was in the early throes of teenage infatuation with a girl I would be with for the next seventeen years. This song will always remind me of her. I was already familiar with the classic original version which many times ruins my appreciation of any remakes, but for this I made an exception. You can't go wrong with the smooth voice of Sweet Baby James.
Re: your speculation about JT's nature, he has always had demons to battle, and other songs of his (not this particular upbeat cover of a classic) come from that pain and inner turmoil. Fire and Rain is a good example, where he talks about times when he felt like he was just hanging on by a thread and could have gone either way.
On another note, I have an odd, small world-y couple degrees of separation with Mr. Taylor. My late 20s pharmacist son filled an Rx for him a few years ago when JT's tour was in town. When he mentioned it to me, he started out by seriously asking "Have you ever heard of James Taylor?" 😆 These kids today.
His wife at the time, Carly Simon, is singing backing vocals on this song---so good. Have you guys done any Carly Simon??
dude he had the Grandpa vibes when he was 20!
he's my very favorite
He was hot back then too.
@@TheDivayenta those eyes, right?
Congratulations to the guys on 48,000 subscribers. The true planning for the 50K extravaganza has to begin now. The "Dickie V" riff was great stuff and worth watching just for itself. Terrific having all 3 chairs filled for "The dream team." 😁
Walking man, carolina in my mind, sweet baby james, mexico, i don't want to he lonely... so many more great songs, he's truly an all time great
How sweet it is the have Ty back at the mic!😊
Sweet baby James is always on my playlist. Also. His other song called handyman ❤ it is a good one
Please play Mockingbird by James Taylor and Carly Simon
James Taylor has a great voice but when you brought up Mister Rogers, I couldn't help thinking "Yeah, if Mr. Rogers had a syringe in his arm"...since I've known about his various addictions for many moons. Taylor worked with an amazing backup singer (Valerie Carter) and if you're willing to be really adventurous, listen to her cover of the 1970 soulful hit, "Ooh, Ooh, Child". She had extraordinary pipes, very powerful, and probably a 5-octave range. She put out her 1st solo LP shortly after the time this Taylor album came out in the mid-seventies.
Awww “it feels so fine” to be appreciated by you all. You guys make my day and I’m glad TY is back! 502 4ever
Cocaine Jesus! You guys are too funny. Actually JT had a bad Heroin habit that wrecked his marriage to Carly Simon. So glad Ty is back! Have a great weekend. Amazing David Sanborn on Sax. This whole album and his previous 5 albums were all fire. ❤❤❤
He has the most effortless and sweet sounding voice I’ve ever heard. Just perfect.
Love both versions. But, Taylor’s is just the one that really does it. Beautiful gents!!!
Back on the yacht ❤
Dozens of incredible songs by James Taylor - you almost can’t go wrong with any of them. (❤to Ty! Welcome back!)
He’s in Mexico there. He’s a quiet, gentle guy.
Leland Sklars bass ties the whole song together
You guys … how sweet it is to be watchin’ you !!!!! ❤
My feelings exactly! ❤
My local market plays great oldies, mostly Motown, and I SING and harmonize with other shoppers! So much fun.😊
You three put a big smile on my face this evening! Thank you - that was fun!
P.S.its great to see you back Ty!!!
How sweet it is. Great sax. I'm with Ryan - can't get enough sax.
If you like that raunchy, deeper voice of James Taylor you should check out his "Steamroller" song.
Back in the 1970s on the TV drama "Kojak," actor Telly Savalas was known for his catch phrase, "Who loves ya, baby?" ... which he would say to everyone and anyone. 🙂
Seen him in concert last October in Italy, superb !
This was a sweet classic from the legendary JT! The three of you always bring a smile to my face for the sheer joy you get from music. Thanks for the channel - look forward to more!
His live CD is fire!🔥
CCR Candle in the window, John Fogerty amazing sax solo.
JT - he created the original singer-songwriter blue prints. A GREAT Holland-Dozier-Holland song. Kooch, Sklar, Kunkel, Keltner - some of the best musicians in the world in their prime.
Awe that so sweet, love you Ty, Nick, and Ryan!!!! ❤❤❤
You guys are so positive and gotta love your shenanigans mixed with thorough analytics of the music. Glad I'm a subscriber for over a year. You deserve a bigger recognition for all the work you do.
Lots of love from Montreal, Quebec. Happy Saint-Jean-Baptiste! SO nice seeing Ty back again! :)
Such a great song, from an extremely talented man. His whole catalog is well worth your time.
LOL @ singing while shopping. I do that. I'll sing out loud if nobody is in my direct line of vision. I don't care if they HEAR me, I have a very pretty deep voice.
I can't handle watching them watch me sing!
Always in choir, never interested in singing solo. I like singing harmonies better anyway.
My favorite guys ❤
Nice reaction! Hope you stay in ‘70’s awhile!! 🤘🔥
I think anyone who lived through the 70's have stayed in the 70's ,when it comes to music ! LOL
Love it when you come back Ty!
Great song! Good to see you Ty! You’re always missed 🥰
Brilliant, welcome back Ty 🇬🇧
I was young when he was and he did comfort while I was living alone on my own after living in a house with eight peoples it was quite a shock to go from constant noise and commotion to only myself. He soothed my soul.
Good fitting song it's nice to see all three of you ❤
I love this song and it was a song you sang to your woman. So smooth
You guys need to react to “Laughter in the Rain” by Neil Sedaka… it has everything you guys like, even a sax. Love your reactions 😊
James, like Van Halen had the knack of making any song his. The woman singing backup was his wife Carly Simon. Have you done "Mexico" yet?
YEAH NICK, JAMES POPULATED IT FOR SURE!!! 💯😊
Such a great album whole!!!
Love James Taylor love the reaction, great to see you Ty and thank all three of you for your reactions to great songs. Take care
Great, great song! One of my all time favorite James Taylor songs. The 70s had so many great singer songwriters, men & women.
Carly Simon on backing vocals (JT’s then wife) has a song with a fantastic sax solo (also by Sanborn)…check out “You Belong to Me” (written by Michael McDonald).
GLEN FREY - " The Heat Is On (12". Version) this version is over SIX MINUTES and it ROCKS from beginning to end Including SAXOPHONE 🎷 Throughout 🎸 so check out this original classic from the 80s
Glad for this reaction y'all great as usual good to see you again Tyler
Gonna see him this Wed. June 26th
U can hear his then wife at the time, a legendary singer songwriter in her own right, Carly Simon on back up vocals.
one of my favorite albums for many decades now
Welcome back, Ty, for _THIS_ upload. 🤘🏽 -of course next week somebody will post “where’s the 3rd guy?”- 🤦🏽♂️
Your collective review of this song 🎵 had me in stitches, especially when the Sax started playing 🎵
All together! So sweet it is!
Good to see you back Ty! The crew!
Hey Ty…miss ya…good to see you. Enjoyed watching all of you appreciate this tune👍🏻
I just recently subscribed. I saw your Rebel Yell reaction and a few Queen reactions. And some others. I’m pretty surprised that you haven’t reacted to Queen doing Bohemian Rhapsody (studio version) or Queen at Live Aid 1985. Those are iconic videos, especially since you said you like Queen, and Freddie is beyond good. Bohemian Rhapsody has over a billion views. Check them out. I love the interaction between the three of you and I like listening to your input on the various songs.
Thanks for reacting to this one, Guys!! :) HUGS!
Try his "stemroller" for a different side of him.
He's great!
You guys kill me! Love y'all!
Nice to see you all together. Great song choice.
Love you guys ❤ Always look forward to your reactions. Glad to see you here Ty 😊 Have a great weekend you three!
I love James Taylor’s cover version!James has had dozens of hits and even more great songs! You need to play some of his best off of his JT album like Handyman,Your Smiling Face, Secret O Life, and Terra Nova of which he recorded that one with his then wife Carly Simon!im not sure if you are familiar what James went through as a young man. He was a heroin addict just as his career was taking off. Lucky for him he had some good friends, including Carole King that helped on get through those times.
Good to see you Ty!❤
Such a great album. This one and it's followup, In the Pocket, are a fantastic pair. They have a similar vibe and "sound" throughout. Could have easily been a two-record set. Even with all his other terrific tunes and records, if I could only have two, I'd be content with Gorilla and In the Pocket.
American Pie brought this song back to popularity in the late 90's
Thanks Ty! Very sweet of you! Love the channel guys. Keep on going!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sweet baby James.
Love this song 🎵 🎉
