    LYRICS - America the Beautiful
    O beautiful for spacious skies,
    For amber waves of grain,
    For purple mountain majesties
    Above the fruited plain!
    America! America!
    God shed His grace on thee
    And crown thy good with brotherhood
    From sea to shining sea!

    Beautiful, I’m praying for you James, “For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son, that who so ever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16💗

    Is there such thing as a Musician Laureate in America? If so, that is what James Taylor is....

    Whenever I would feel sad or had a bad day as a child, my mom would put on James Taylor and stay with me as I fell asleep.
    I'll forever connect his voice to that comfort.

    The man is a national treasure! I became a fan ever since playing the first LP, James Taylor and The Original Flying Machine or something of the sort. Old as we both are now, he is still playing and singing and I am still very much able to enjoy his music!

    I have had the pleasure of going 3 JT concerts. First in 1978 and 81 in Berkeley Ca. Then once in Lake Tahoe. He is still one of the greatest. Thanks JT for this video.

    BEAUTIFUL simply beautiful Mr. James Taylor. Just to hear this song right now when my heart is so broken for our country. And, I for one appreciate you leaving ....."God, shed his grace on thee." I also live in the 4-corners area..and taught on the Navajo Reservation..so I know about that Ride out to the Hopi dances and the "snakes". Will see you again, hopefully, in Salt Lake City.

      @@danielmconnolly7 Reminded of a memory shared by "Mr. Guitar" Chet Atkins after a Caribbean cruise where he spotted a battered old guitar in a deck chair, picked it up, tuned it, and played a few licks. "You're good," said a passerby with a smile, "but you're no Chet Atkins!"

Then as an adult, I rediscovered your music and learned to love it all over again from a different time and level of maturity. You're amazing as a musician, songwriter, vocalist, and human being. Thank you so much for doing these things for our enjoyment. God bless.
