My admiration of James Taylor just skyrocketed and I didn't think that it could ever get higher than it was. A great sense of humor just wins me over all the time.
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
You are a true legend, James Taylor.
David W
Should do a digital release
What's cool about James is that Fire and Rain is literally perfect. But he was cool enough to have fun and do a parody of his own stuff. Props to the original JT for not being "that guy" who thinks that his songs are the second coming of Christ.... some of his fans do and that's cool, but he's level headed about it.
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, 🎵🎶’

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‼️
Stephen has a great voice.And if James Taylor gives you the nod to sing with him you've got it going on.Because this is a classic song forever.
great update!
This is a tremendously well done bit. Taylor plays it so straight.
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.
The best part is James Taylor is really trying not to laugh
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
I've seen James Taylor and hope he'll never end
Saw what you did there!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 TRUMP 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@alexpaynter5176 🔥🔥🔥Taylor🌧️🌧️🌧️
@@alexpaynter5176 Really dude? That's what you need to comment on here?
Awesome musician who doesn't take himself too seriously even though he is an icon and a legend.
this song could continue for an hour and I'd watch it and enjoy it
+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
He strikes me as a genuinely good person.
You can always tell by the distance between the eyes.
+Goggle Toggle this is my favorite TH-cam 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've seen shampoos with conditioner built right in” AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
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
Just the most perfect opening chords ever...
James Taylor is my childhood idol. Sitting in our caravan by the beach in the east of Ireland on summer days and my parents would blast him and the Eagles and Neil Young. He never fails to make me feel safe and warm and im 35 so I feel like I have him all to myself in this hip hop era. Xxxx
+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.
His singing is so... true. I can't find another word to describe it. Real, calming, soothing. Amazing James Taylor :)
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.
You just can never get enough of this man called James Taylor. It just isn't possible.
I am lucky to know JT.
He is an absolutely amazing person in every aspect you can imagine. Especially kindness, humor and intellect. He is truly a living legend. If you ever get a chance to go see him play live don't miss it.
James Taylor has some world class comic timing there. This was brilliant
I was waiting for them them to sing in harmony. Colbert has a great voice actually.
cobert should sing more
To make fun of a classic song..just proves what a great sense of humour he has.
James Taylor is incredible! My favorite singer/songwriter. His tunes are definitely for the ages!
I would like to hear the next 75 verses...
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
Just when I thought James Taylor could not top himself. wow! "I've seen toast that's multi-grain" BWAHAHA
I want to hear the rest of the 75 verses! a humble genius!
Ive seen Taylor 3 or 4 times live he was always impressed me with his sense of humour And his ability to adlib to the crowd as well as the obvious of his fine voice and great guitar work
A beautiful man who genuinely cares for my country and for our people. Bless you James Taylor. Mabuhay and all the Love from the Philippines!!!
I love the fact that James still has his sense of humor, funny rendition of a great song!
On the request of my wife, we went to see him about 10 tears ago at the Montreal forum along, to my surprise, 15,000+ other people. Didn't know much about him and could vaguely recognized some of his big hits. Then, for two hours I felt like it was just me, my girlfriend and the 30/40 people immediately around us alone with him and his band. Along with Paul McCartney also at the MTL Forum (1990) this is by far the best musical performance I saw, and I've seen quite a few........
LOL, such a great sense of humour. James still sounds wonderful.
always... A great tune with a catchy yarn is hard to beat.
Paula McCartney James cordon
James has a great deadpan delivery :)
The fact that his voice is still as wonderful as it was over 40 years ago is unbelievable.
Hahahaha. Who knew James Taylor was a perfect deadpan comedian. Well done.
Loved it
I can't stop smiling. I've been in love with James Taylor since 1970 when this song came out and I had just moved to Northern California from New York to live with virtual strangers (cousins). I would sit in my room listening to his soulful voice and tender lyrics days on end. Some 52 years later and he still surprises and moves me. This song is a new classic! And of course, Mr. Colbert is a lovely addition. Thank you, my sweet baby James.
James Taylor is a legendary guitar player
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.
Such a beautiful man is James Taylor
Such a cool guy. He as no problem having fun with his signature song. Made me want to hear the original again. Folk on, James!
Priceless! JT has good comic timing and the bit was hilarious.
Splendid! What a joy. To have 2 of the best artists doing what they do so well is highly enjoyable! Thank you, James Taylor and Stephen Colbert.
man, i wanna hear the last 75-74 verses.
"I've seen Seinfeld and Elaine" gold James gold! pretty,pretty....pretty good!
J.T... please take good care and may you still live i love you man!!
James is being a good sport here 🙂 I've always really loved his music. I've not had the good fortune to meet him, but I owe him a debt of gratitude - his music has gotten me through a lot over the years.
what a great sport.
This is fantastic for those of you who love James Taylor. The new version of "Fire and Rain"
I always get misty at "gluten free, brown sugar, Special K". It's such a beautiful line.
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?!
What a Great Singer. What a Great sense of humor. What a Great Man. What a GREAT VOICE.
Hey Colbert's voice is pretty good
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
Meanwhile in Pawnee, Indiana,
Ben Wyatt has found a new favorite song.
Much love from me Mirjam from the Netherlands 😍 James Taylor
Stuff like this is what You Tube was invented for.
Tv shows?
False
James Taylor could sing about bowel movements for 4 verses and make the world cry lol.
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.
This was SO great!! It made me laugh, cry and gave me chills. Thank you!!
Something are better with age, James Taylor is one.
amen
What a wonderfully gentle man.
Just when I thought I couldn't love J T more than I already did I was proved wrong.
James Taylor and Jackson Browne are coming to Wrigley Field. That’s a home run.
1p6t1gms OMG that is awesome! Sure wish I could be there to see that! Enjoy 😁
Oh gee, James Taylor is such a great sport, and so funny -- only makes you love him even more.
I've always been a James Taylor fan. Such a privilege to see him still singing and having fun. Thank you so much for the opportunity, Stephen Colbert.
That man is one with his guitar and soul
OMG, this is one of the most hysterical musical guest spots I've ever seen..... EVER!!! ROFLmswao!!!
I've always loved James Taylor and his music; I think I love him even more now. This truly shows off not just his talent but his sense of humour. And Steven Colbert's voice is pretty good, too, LOL If you love and appreciate James Taylor, you will certainly roll when you see this. 10 minutes later and I'm still laughing out loud.
James Taylor is a true American storyteller & then some
Gol Darn Stephen - you can sing anything! You make me smile. And James Taylor and his music is a treasure that just keeps on giving. Thank you for this!!!
Some musicians, and some tv hosts too, have talents that are just gifts to us. Thank you.
Bring on the 75 more verses! Still sounding great in 2019, James!
what a sweet man James Taylor is. So cool for him to play along...
Always have loved this man and his so ful music.
I think I love when you see people come on the show and they are such good sports about everything and will pretty much do whatever is asked of them.
Oh, I've seen Sting and Lil' Wayne.
I've seen ad campaigns that I thought would never end.
I've seen eating Tide pods; I could not comprehend.
And I never hope to see Crocs shoes again.
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?
You have no idea how much I needed this. What a treat. Thank you. ❤
Opening chord is so amazing... triggers so many memories from my high school days. And a tear or two
Great comic timing and delivery. He’s good at everything!
What is your life like, you 47 sad, lost souls who gave this a thumbs-down?
Jennifer Ellifritz : don’t mind them. They’re just mad because Stephen finally did a bit that WASN’T about politics.
Russian Bots
Now its 427 :( The song was great though!
500 thumbs down? Really? They're probably mad because they failed to parody it first.
ikr?
This is the best yet. I'm a major JT fan. And this lifted me up toady.
what a great guitar work =)
Love how JT can build a parody out of Fire & Rain! Love ❤️ it!
I only got into james Taylor about a year but I’m so glad I found him. I love this video so much!
This is great. I love James Taylor and have for over 40 years. Seen him in concert and actually met him as a prize in a radio contest. Very nice, soft spoken sweet man.
This is the result of a man who has found closure with the tragedy from his youth. Something we can all learn from; to let go of old pain.
How many artists with such a catalog of hit songs would come up with funny lyrics to one of their biggest hits? As great as James is and as long as his career has gone, he still doesn't take himself too seriously. How many of today's singer/songwriters will still be relevant into their late 60's?
Best ever
See Billy joel on Colbert
Very nice. James, a true legend and Stephen turned out to sing very well!
Thanks for sharing them with us!
We met James and Carly in 1975 when a friend invited us to dinner and hinted he had some special guests, and we were absolutely struck by how genuine and humble they both were. I was so nervous all I could do was smile and nod. Wish I could go back to those times.
Good songwriters just go on and on. I need to give him more credit for being my mentor and making my career. I had no idea when I did a cover of this song in 1971 how long lasting and influential it would become. JT you are tops. and yes Colbert does a nice job on the verses.
James Carly Ben sally isaac Alex Kate all brilliant ❤️ M V
Thanks James you are the reason so many of us love Guitars Brian Wild O’Gorman Chilmark
That was awesome bit. Late night for adults.
What an awesome voice no matter what lyrics he sings. Love this.
Yes, I'd listen to all 75 verses myself! What fun!
James ... What a cool guy so funny great sense of humour
This could be a Tommy Smothers routine - it's the same understated, off-kilter humor. He even sounds like Tommy!
This just makes me happy!
Super Fun😃😃
JT is awesome! The revelation of the minute is Steven's voice!!! He's great!!!
That was beautiful and funny...."I've seen Seinfeld and Elaine....".....all the things since fire and rain
Is this the best thing ever? Yes. Yes, it is.
thank you both. I have goose bumps. Well done
All kidding aside. Can you imagine all that James Taylor did see? What a great entertainer. From the mid 60’s up until 2020. That’s 55 years of travel the globe to perform. Wow!
Excellent!!!
sweet dreams and flying machines .... flying safely through the air
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"
Absolutely great. James, what can we say, I love your work just doesn't seem enough .... you are a true blessing !!! Keep playing my friend 😎
I just love that James has no ego and can spoof his song. Coming from perhaps the most influential songwriter of the 1970's. Pit his top ten songs against any other solo artist of that time and he stands out at the top.
Who brought themselves to thumbing down JT? He's one of the greatest musicians and here he's showing how true creative people do it. 🎶💯🔥😂👏👏👏👏👏
Steve C could have died the next day and felt complete. Hear the crowd react to the opening riff. Teared up. And how classy is JT?
this is great. love james!
Legend!!!
He's STILL got "it". 😉🌫️💜🌫️
@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.🦋💜✌🌈☮
