Fire and Rain James Taylor at the Beacon Theatre, New York. ______________________________________ Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone Susanne the plans they made put an end to you I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song I just can't remember who to send it to I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again Won't you look down upon me, Jesus You've got to help me make a stand You've just got to see me through another day My body's aching and my time is at hand And I won't make it any other way Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you, baby, one more time again, now Thought I'd see you one more time again There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you fire and rain, now

James Taylor - Wichita Lineman Grammy Awards '09 2009 Best Male Pop "Wichita Lineman" is a popular song written by Jimmy Webb in 1968, first recorded by Glen Campbell and widely covered by other artists. Campbell's version, which appeared on his 1968 album of the same name, reached #3 on the US pop chart, remaining in the Top 100 for 15 weeks. In addition, the song also topped the American country music chart for two weeks, and the adult contemporary chart for six weeks. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" ranked "Wichita Lineman" at #192. It has been referred to as 'the first existential country song'. James Taylor recorded the song on his album, "Covers", released in September 2008. Taylor includes the soulful rendition in the first set of his current US tour. I am a lineman for the county. And I drive the mainroad. Lookin' in the sun for another overload. I hear you singing in the wire. Chorus 1 I can hear you thru the whine. And the Wichita Lineman, is still on the line. I know I need a small vacation. But it don't look like rain. And if it snows that stretch down south, won't ever stand the strain. And I need you more than want you. Chorus 2 And I want you for all time. And the Wichita Lineman, is still on the line. Tree climbing is an activity consisting of ascending and moving around in the canopy of trees.

James Taylor performs "Country Road" at his home in Martha's Vineyard 1992. Take to the highway, won't you lend me your name? Your way and my way seem to be one and the same. Mamma don't understand it, She wants to know where I've been. I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool To want to pass that way again, But I could feel it on a country road. Sail on home to Jesus, Won't you good girls and boys. I'm all in pieces, you can have your own choice. But I can hear a heavenly band full of angels And they're coming to set me free. I don't know nothing 'bout the why or when But I can tell that it's bound to be, Because I could feel it, child, yeah, On a country road. I guess my feet know Where they want me to go Walking on a country road. Take to the highway, won't you lend me your name? Your way and my way seem to be one and the same. Mamma don't understand it, She wants to know where I've been. I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool To want to pass that way again, But I could feel it on a country road. Walk on down, Walk on down, Walk on down, Walk on down, Walk on down a country road. Na na na na na na na na na na na, Country road, yeah, Walking on a country road...

Yo-Yo Ma James Taylor Hard times come again no more

James Taylor In the early 1980s Taylor's career was again beset by drug problems. Additionally, Taylor's wife, Carly Simon, was unhappy with his extended absences due to touring. After an ultimatum from her that he spend more time with their children, Ben and Sally, and Taylor's response with the 1981 album Dad Loves His Work, he and Simon divorced in 1983. He was quoted in various interviews that he was thinking of retiring after fulfilling his last contractual obligation, the Rock In Rio in 1985. However, he was surprised by the reception of the audience on Saturday, January 12 (there were 250000 people, the biggest attendance of the 10-day festival), when he performed right before George Benson. Two days later, they were scheduled to perform in the same order, but since Taylor's extended performance had caused a huge delay to Benson's back on Saturday, Benson proposed that they switch the order. Taylor ended up the headliner in this second performance. Buoyed by the audience's reception, he decided to take back his life and his career. (16 years later, on January 12, 2001, he played the very same site, at the opening night of the third Rock in Rio, whose organizer, Roberto Medina, described Taylor to the Brazilian press then as "his good luck charm"). The song "Only a Dream in Rio" was written in tribute to that night, with verses like "I was there that very day and my heart came back alive". The album, That's Why I'm Here, from which that song came, started a series <b>...</b>

The James Taylor Quartet are a British four-piece jazz funk band who have become renowned for their live performances. They were formed by Hammond organ player James Taylor following the break-up of his former band The Prisoners in the wake of Stiff Records' bankruptcy. The core line-up is James Taylor (Hammond organ), Chris Montague (guitar), Andrew McKinney (bass) and Adam Betts (drums), although recordings and live performances usually feature a horn section comprising John Willmott (tenor sax/flute) and Nick Smart (trumpet), and also vocalist Yvonne Yanney. "Whole Lotta Love" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin. It is featured as the opening track on the band's second album, Led Zeppelin II, and was released in the US (and Japan) as a single. In 2004, the song was ranked number 75 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and in March 2005, Q magazine placed "Whole Lotta Love" at number three in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. It was placed 11 on a similar list by Rolling Stone. In 2009 it was named the third greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1.

(Because I know we're all tired of the Jellyman Kelly clip which they played 1000x ...) James Taylor sings his hit single from 1979. IMO this great track should have been included on the LP "The Stars Come Out on Sesame Street" - or any SS album, for that matter.
