His very existence and the constancy of his being have sustained many of us through good times and bad, in times we were lost ourselves as well as times when we found or lost those we loved. He embodies everything to which we should all aspire. There is no better.

    Always love to hear James Taylor's voice, when he sings and when he speaks. If I had to choose only one song to listen to for the rest of my days, it would certainly be my favorite James Taylor song. The Secret of Life, a song he wrote in 1977 when he was only 29 years old. He has always been a wise soul and a gift to all who have had the pleasure of hearing him. Listen to that song and pass it along to others and live by those words. Thank you James for reminding me how to hold on, let go, and still remain in and appreciate the present.

    I've loved James Taylor 4ever it seems. Fire and Rain, I was hooked and even played on the piano, along with Carole King's You've Got A Friend, loving his cover of her song as much as Carole's rendition. In 1985-86 I took my first grade son to see JT in concert in Houston, Texas. Wonderful, of course. My son, now a multi-talented musician himself, started with playing guitar, JT being one of his earliest influences. When he was 16 my mom was sick with cancer and wheelchair bound. My brother, sister and I took her to see JT for her 55th and final birthday, each of us also bringing oldest child (in my case, my only child) so it was a real family outing. Moms very first concert! Of course she loved it, and I'll always be grateful we were able to do that for her. Thank you, James, for sharing your gift with the world and being a part of our stories. ❣️✌️🥀
