James Taylor Has Updated "Fire And Rain" 

I agree! Me and my wife are seeing him in a couple months and it’s just not her style of music. I just love music in general, but James Taylor is something special. His humor is what has won my wife over and now she is looking forward to seeing him. Can’t wait!!!

You got o commercial, for once, ONCE u couldn't let us enjoy ? Who cares about commercials, heck, that is the main reason I stopped watching TV, that ans those ridiculous news

He has great comic timing!

He plays some chords weird, but I still like him.

great update!

David W

Should do a digital release

He has a great sense of humor. It’s refreshing to see great artists who are also very down to earth.

@@sandywinfield9406 I think it's due to the fact that he almost died and so did most of his friends.

I can't even listen past the intro...this song is biblical!!

@@bernlin2000 i understand where you are coming from Chris. When words have the power to save someone's life, those words should never be changed. Not saying i fault anyone for liking this, we are each entitled to our own opinions. 😊

I’m a little late to the party here, but this is just too important not to weigh in. I was actually around back then and we were taught there are some things you just don’t do and one of them was, “You Don’t Mess Around With Jim” You Millennials, always lookin’ down at your phones might not know, “When the bad folks all get together at night You know they all call big Jim boss, just because, And they say; You don't tug on superman's cape You don't spit into the wind You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger AND YOU DON’T MESS AROUND WITH JIM So I just don’t want to have to say this again, I am a pool-shootin’ boy My name is Willie McCoy But down home they call me “Slim” You Millennials need to Find out where it's at And it's not hustlin' people strange to you Even if you do got a two-piece, custom-made, pool cue Well...do,do,do, Uptown got its hustlers, Bowery got its bums, 🎵🎶’ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1dT90zwuV1s.html Sticks-of-TNT 🧨🧨 P.S. All in fun My Millennials ... With apologies to the late, great Jim Croce and James Taylor, much love. You STILL rock‼️

Get him on SNL. Teach them how to deliver lines without fake cracking up to goose the material.

Rolling...that's a great idea. SNL is horrible these days. J T would liven it up.

Awesome I could listen all day.

After you play a song for 40 years, you always makt it right.... Great guy..

He has a Robin Williams vibe going on there. Mannerisms and delivery.

You can always tell by the distance between the eyes.

+Goggle Toggle this is my favorite RU-vid comment ever

+Goggle Toggle Yeah like Hey Arnold!

He is ! He signs like almost everyone's tickets after his concerts and I asked him what time he was gonna go to bed lol

Yes.

I enjoy that too!!! Jimmy Fallon is like that with his musical heroes too. I must say I enjoy that Miriam.

lol pretty adorable tbh

1:28. When he covered his mouth...lol.

He forgets his own lines

+andrea collins That's lovely--but not all to yourself. :) JT has an amazing number of fans all over the world who have never stopped appreciating his genius as both a songwriter and performer.

+andrea collins Why do people feel the need to compare older artists with hip-hop as if it's inherently worse than anything before the 80's? Can't you just enjoy this and leave your tired superiority issues out of it?

+andrea collins James Taylor Started out with the Beatles on Apple records 1968 Sweet Baby James

Superiority??? Not me. Have jay z, Rae srummond, drake , Beyoncé etc on loop. I just mean I love having been giving the chance to have this knowledge of music in my life to go chill out to. Not many of my friends in Ireland my age know of James Taylor at all.

+rjmari because the old stuff IS superior.

Saw what you did there!

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 TRUMP 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@alexpaynter5176 🔥🔥🔥Taylor🌧️🌧️🌧️

@@alexpaynter5176 Really dude? That's what you need to comment on here?

+filteredcreativity I think we could all listen to this song if it went on all day or more.

+filteredcreativity me to, there could really be 75 verses to this song, or at least one for every year since 1970 :P

+filteredcreativity We have a chance 2c James Taylor live in July I'm not a hater but Stephen Colbert I just don't like !

You're a hater :P

Why

too funny...the glint on the eye, says it all! have just seen him in concert for the first time @ a winery venue ten minutes from my house in new Zealand. he was great and stayed behind and signed autographs after the concert. thanks for that James....my son will never wash that tee shirt u signed!

Yeah, I’ve seen James Taylor three times. The first time in 2011, I got a picture with him. The next year, he autographed this photograph. Not only is he an incredible musician, he’s a pretty nice guy.

cobert should sing more

Same

The greatests always know to do just enough for us hungry for more.

Tamara A so would I

Me too.

I have to keep coming back to this every so often

And singer.. And Songwriter.. AND Artist!

Honestly one of the best acoustic players

Right you are. I don't think he gets the respect he deserves as a player. He's a giant on the acoustic.

@@dr.unkass4028 Damn right. His style is so deceptive, you don't think he's doing much. Then you try to play it the same way. It's black magic!

I like how doesn't use a pick to play, just his fingers.

always... A great tune with a catchy yarn is hard to beat.

Paula McCartney James cordon

Especially funny since back in the 70s Taylor had long thick hair and is now mostly bald

lol

@@maureennolan2784 by

For some reason that was the funniest one

Epic dude - great call-out

Loved it

Eugene Song Yep...he's keeping in tune.

Colbert sounds pretty good even if I don't like him.

His voice is more than good!

Colbert is a great mucician, singer and dancer

@@abc456f he's actually a musician and performer. Before he got into political satire with Jon Stewart

amen

John Douglas Racing Video Agree..I have tried it and failed ..only James could make my song work? . SEE...Croaktime blues aĺbert croak on youtube and kathys song cover Albert Croak on youtube and Childrens home Albert Croak. . Shake my tree ALbert CRoak and other videos?

Actually verse 45 is about 45's bowel movements.

1p6t1gms OMG that is awesome! Sure wish I could be there to see that! Enjoy 😁

Rob Landauer nice one here Rob

O when you look down upon us Jesus , you gotta help us make a stand. Lord knows that the big Orange clown has turned Democracy upside down.

Bye Golly um have you read the Constitution, it is the Dem Socialist Democrats ( Marxist) who have been destroying our rights of free speech and right to defend ourselves; incidentally the U.S. pollution rates are way down this year as well and unemployment is at historic levels. Turn off the Dem owned networks and think for yourself-truth is only a research away.

@@kace2885 that doesn't even rhyme. Sounds more like heavy metal....you know.....noise!

@@kace2885 This comment section was delightful but you just had to be in here didnt you?

Best ever

See Billy joel on Colbert

Much love from me Mirjam from the Netherlands 😍 James Taylor

False

Me too!

Pompidou Them are some nice

And the toast that's multigrain. That gets you right in the feels every time.

Who doesn't?!

@James Taylor wow!! Never expected to talk to you, Mr Taylor. You made my day. I'm an old hippie in Hospice enjoying my days filled with music such as yours. I'm an original hippie spending my last days raising the endangered species, the monarch butterfly. I release 800-1000 a month. I love giving back to the earth. Thank you for thinking of me. I feel blessed to call you my friend. I lost my home Christmas day to a house fire. I lost all my original records. I must replace yours bc you really still have it and I want to support your music. My son's name is Taylor. He just turned 35. He's my roommate. Have a great day, Mr. Taylor. And thank you for making my day. Connie, Stuart Florida💜🦋✌

@James Taylor add I stated I'm an original!!✌ I'm 61, so I'm a very long fan of yours. I've attended 4 of your shows over the years. I've lived all across the country And every time you came close to where I was, I was at your concerts. I remember seeing Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in Asbury Park, NJ in 1978 before he was famous. I grew up within 10 miles of his home. My son and I are trying to rebuild our lives after the fire took everything. 🔥 it's a slow process. This was so traumatic on our lives. We're just happy we are both still alive. Slowly, well replace what we lost except the family heirlooms, pictures and of course the records I've lost. Thousands of them. I'm heartbroken beyond words. I will always remain one of your biggest fans, Mr. Taylor. Know you made my day. You still matter, at least to me.🦋💜✌🌈☮

I don't think we've quite mastered the 'not crashing' bit yet lol. Maybe " I've seen lonely times when nobody liked my posts"
