This song is 50 years old. Still evocative and simply beautiful.
Abso-fuggin-lutely !!
Wow, I’m the same age as this song! Wish I was as evocative & simply beautiful as this gorgeous tune✌️🇦🇺😊
Now I really feel old! I remember when it was new. I will always love James.
@@kerryn6714 Who says you're not ?
53 years old now its crazy!
When this song was released in 1968, life was young, good friends and laughter ruled the day; nothing but pleasant memories here. Thank you, James Taylor.
Yep, I was 22 at the time and life was pretty good for most people then with a strong middle class and civil rights being established. The only stain was the Vietnam war but even that brought millions of us together in protest. I wish the young people of today were living in such a warm time. Hopefully, the new progressive movement will succeed in making that happen.
Unless you were in the Manson gang
Pleasant? Hey we were crying over Vietnam... Great music, great times, but there was a war going on and it wasn't pretty.
I was 17 and into the same stuff, life was good. By the grace of God, I did not take the hard road that he did with the demons of addiction.....
Mark Green uhh no, Civil Rights still were being established, and do with the shootings, bombings that attended that-life was still not good for a fair number of people.
It was almost overwhelming to hear James Taylor play this song on Colbert. His voice is still as pure and angelic as ever. I was privileged to listen to James Taylor on my sister's very fine stereo in the 70's while I visited them during summers and they were stationed in Germany. There is no better way to enjoy beautiful memories.
there are very few guitarists in the world that are instantly recogniseable.. this man is one of them..
I am rediscovering James Taylor, appreciating his finger picking style, and the warmth of maturity in his voice. Thank you!
He was so important to my teen age years. I love and respect his voice and songs.
I love James Taylor. He is a national treasure.
And the 5 downvotes...you must not have a soul/heart.
It's cause now he's horrible , compared to even 10 years ago, wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy off....
There seems to be a really nice amount of love and respect between James and the backing singers. It's nice to see.
One of my first record buys when I was young. Sweet Baby James. Some remarks about an elderly mans voice...well, listen to the song...the voice carries it perfectly. I am glad you are still with us James!
saxmidiman, I agree. I haven’t listened to James Taylor in years but “Sweet Baby James” was in my head yesterday. I saw this clip just now, and man if he’d have sang that one, I would have freaked. Kinda glad he didn’t. That would have been too weird. But yeah, he’s always been my favorite. Learned most of his songs on guitar a long time ago. He’s still able to bring tears to my eyes. I’m glad he’s still with us too.
This man and his songs are timeless. When I was in school as a teenager in New Zealand studying for exams my best friend and I would put on her Mum’s CD of James Taylor’s Greatest Hits or Best Of, whatever. We would put it on loop and quietly chill, sing along and do our homework. Her mum tragically died a few years ago but I will forever associate this music with that amazing woman ❤️
I'm 57 years old, listened to a lot of different music in my life, started very young, loving the 60s Beatles Stones, Jackson 5 Marvin Gaye Diana Ross, Barry White, Lou Rawls, all the Disco in the world, but I've always loved Sweet baby James, I've owned his music on albums, 8 tracks, Cassetes, CD, and IPod, phone not yet, we've grown older all of us, but the songs still remain more valid than anything I've ever listened to
A little younger, yet James Taylor was always like feeling at home and easier than Simon & Garfunkel, less heartache than Johnny and June or controversial as Joan and Dylan. Still miss Jim Croce. -peace all
Man, even in his seventies still spreading musical bliss, how incredible :D Its also heartwarming to see how, even though his voice may not be what it used to be, his technique on the guitar still seems impeccable
My how time flies. It was only yesterday that I was a teenager, listening to James Taylor at a concert in St Louis. 1969. Thanks James. You made life better.
Guy who rose to the top, sank to rock bottom, and re-built. Inspiring human being.
Yikes, he needs to rebuild then again, or stop singing
@@onefoot7 Perhaps sadly too late to rebuild. He's fighting. It's inspiring, really.
What do you mean sank to rock bottom?
@@tommyrobinson8868 I'd also like to know. Wasn't aware of any great fall
@@IronLotus15 VERY inspiring.
His voice and delivery make me think of the late Harry Chapin. And that's a compliment. James' timber has changed as he's gotten older, with a resonance that is heartbreaking. Thank you, James.
Happy to hear and see James Taylor. Beautiful.
Awful, why ruin a great legacy when you can't do it anymore...wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy off
@@onefoot7 And why be an asshole, by trolling someone you couldn't lick the boots of?
@@elcarto22 Exactly. Thank you.
What asuper and emotional voiceJames is!It touches the heart.
James Taylor's always been a favorite of mine. He still sounds great. Hope he's ok.
??????????????????????/ Horrible, compared to the JT I used to know
I love james Taylor's music. He is an icon! Keep singing James. Your fans love you!!!!
As a Carolina son, this song almost makes me well up and makes me miss home.
Listen to Ryan Adams "My Sweet Carolina" after this and you'll be packing your bags...😊 wonderful to hear Taylor again
The one .. the only .. the perfect .. James Taylor ... Simply the Best of all time !
This was my favorite song when I was little. Can't hear it without thinking about driving to school with my mom in her beat up 96 chevy.
For absolutely no reason, this song was stuck in my head today. I’ve only heard it a few times and thought it a strange song to think about, but now I’m a little weirded out.
the universe is strange at times.. no?
Me too. I think I saw it in my feed without registering it, so I started singing it. Then it was higher in the feed and I clicked.
James Taylor is awesome, I’ve been on him for years, pause, got lots of his songs in my phone and I know I’m the only one in the crew that listens to him, that would play him in the car, and I’m so cool with that, they don’t know who they’re missing
You should be able to at least influence them to listen to JT.
I try to, they’re the ones that are nuts
I love James Taylor!
Love James Taylor.
He still has that voice. Beautiful.
Wow, James Taylor still has the stuff. This was a great performance.
I still have a crush on him - 46+ years later.
Tom Harrison poor guy needs those background singers now
Ahhhhhhhhh, nope, wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy off
One of the best songs ever written. One true artist. I love your music. I love your voice. God bless you James.
Beautiful song.
My family moved to NC in 1700, this song makes me cry because I've lived in CA now for 16 years and it still don't feel like home. BTW I lean into the down east accent when I sing this... until the tears choke me out. Esse quam videri
He was in the middle of a two-week Las Vegas residency when he flew to NYC to perform for Colbert on his one night off. I hope I’m still as active when I hit 71 years of age.
@James Taylor , you too! I recently discovered the duet with Mary Chapin Carpenter on her song Soul Companion. Great song! You two need to find an opportunity to get together and sing it in front of an audience and some cameras.
Love him
Proud to be able to say I saw James Taylor play the Smith Center at UNC when I was a student. Had seats in the nosebleed, but with James it is the music not the show.
A LEGEND
This man is a national treasure
North Carolina you are in my heart as you mourn.
This man is my childhood. I love you forever Mr Taylor!
I never seem to ever get enough of JT. His guitar tone and his soothing lyrics always do the trick for me.
At about the same time as this appearance, Taylor appeared on a rival late night show and explained that he wrote this song while in Europe in 1968. He was visiting Formentera off the coast of Spain. While there, he took a ferry to neighboring Ibiza, where he and his companions missed the return ferry. Having no money for a hotel, they found an outdoor cafe with tables and chairs, and spent the night sitting there. He became homesick, especially for North Carolina (where he had grown up), and came up with the song just as the sun came up the next morning. A lot of this, especially some of the imagery, is reflected in the lyrics.
Holding back tears of memories of happy times long ago. Love you James. I have a boot leg of you and Joni at the Night Owl in NYC from the 60s such sweet voices together. Thank you for all the good times.
This clip showed me how life runs so fast 🥺
Love his music! I listened to his greatest hits album like 6 times today already! This was a great surprise
Reminds me of Johnny Cash’s last performances, changed voice but lots of sentimentality.
No matter how many times i hear this I hear it fresh 😁
so nice to see James Taylor again. He truly is one of the BEST WE HAVE.
Deep love and respect
Amazing voice. Still so beautiful
An insanely well-written masterpiece, people have NO idea......
LEGEND
So many memories.
I used to love this song, I still do but I used to too
Class! His songs are magic. JT forever!
I love him. He makes me cry, makes me laugh, breaks my heart and heals it again... My brother and his wife saw him in Vegas. I am jealous...
@James Taylor ❤️
Went to Vegas for my 50th this week with my wife , caught the show there , thank you it was great, very emotional and the stage show with the screens was brilliant, thanks again.
What memories of my childhood in the USA. I'm the son of Chileans inmigrants born in the USA and James Taylor was my mothers favorite artist and i was born in Chapell Hill, North Carolina so these song always makes me nostalgic.
Let’s all be thankful we still have him.
Wonderful performance, great vocals all around.
I just went to his concert this week. The group parts of Carolina is stuck in my mind. Trust me, the clarity is not the same from a mic.
I saw him just before this residency in Vegas and he was still good. I'm sure the Vegas gig is hard on the voice. Loved him for 50 years! He is 71 years old. Will continue going to his concerts until they are done
Thanks James. Big fan my whole life :)
JT has been my favourite singer/songwriter since he first recorded Sweet Baby James. His delightful sense of humour and genuine modesty together with his sweet singing voice has kept him, rightly so, as one of the best in an ongoing career and continual touring. Apart from Kim, his wife, I don't recognise any of the backing singers and they're not his usual musicians. Maybe they stayed in Vegas. Being the same age as him and seeing him live several times I hear how his voice is becoming slightly frail. He can still hit the right notes although I think he's adapted the keys of his songs which is common with singers growing older. His finger picking and light brushing of the strings has always been wonderful and unique. Love him.
Just added this to my on stage repertoire. Lovely!
What an amazing singer! James Taylor, God bless you lots!
This song and Sweet Baby James are the road trip songs my kids grew up with....so glad he’s still with us; a national treasure!
Without a doubt, I will listen to this man (x2) every time. God Bless you - James Taylor & Stephen Colbert - Thank each of you for your prose.
his songs are very popular in the Philippines, i sing his songs in karaoke all the time, i watched his concerts several times, JT u are the man and i'll be seing you in Vegas soon.
Mr.FunnyFilipinoFoodFanatic, we are blessed with thousands of Filipinos in Hawaii. Almost all of them can sing very well. Lots of them sing cover songs in the Karaoke bars, and they always just blow you away with their accuracy of the copy and the voice imitation. Very talented people. Good luck to you and I hope you get to see James Taylor in Vegas soon. He’s been my favorite for years. Aloha.
James Taylor has not lost any of his beautiful voice over the years. Love, Love, Love him. Can't believe that anyone would give him a thumbs down!
This was my favorite song growing up, because it was one of my moms favorite songs. I just love JT.
How can anyone dislike this? JT Forever.
A piece of serenity.still a gift after all this time. Thank you! Awesome
I just like his mellow melancholic basic tone so much. It makes you feel like home...His music accompanies me since 1982. I'm german and studied dance in San Diego, Cal. We had a Weekend in the forest somewhere, organised by the foreign students office. We sat at the bonfire and sang "shower the people..." I`ll never forget that.
@James Taylor Well, I think you have given the great gift of your music to the world by having the strength and ability to write down and process your feelings, thoughts and inspirations. The song I love the most so far is "walking man". You create images in the mind of the listener. That's more than just "music", that is poetry in music. "The frost is on the pumpkin and the hay is in the barn... " I can see the frosting, I can smell the fresh cold winter-air and I can almost hear the sound of the grass, frozen stiff and cracking unter your feet as you walk... I wish you the very best, be aware and take care! Love Birgit from the lake of constance, Germany
@James Taylor I'd love to, but sorry, I'm a bit suspicious: If you write down your E-Mail here publically everybody can see it and your E-Mail account soon will break down... Can you somehow verify that it's you, who is writing here?
@James Taylor Please stop pretending to be James Taylor.
@@11sarasvati You're right to be suspicious - this is a scam account that's been reported for impersonating our channel.
@@jamestaylor Thanks. It's a pity. Would have been nice "talking" to James! But can you tell or find out, if it's an account from Germany? Did they only approach me or many others also?
Never fails to get to me. It's been too long since I've driven down 85, exited in Powdersville, and followed those paw prints back to Clemson.
James Taylor helped get me through college. My heart still swells hearing that sweet folk sound.
Beautiful ♥️
Mr Taylor respects musicians so much, the best folks on the planet jump at the chance to play with him. He always has the top people. Antonio Sanchez on drums, Will Lee on bass, the others are all big name guys and gals. It is heartful, beautiful music, thanks so much for hearing James Taylor as the huge talent he is. On guitar and vocals, none more evocative or well-performed on the planet. A joy to hear.
Great !
Still gives me goosebumps
This was one of my late father’s favourite songs. Thanks for the memories. 💖
I think he recognizes his voice decline, but chooses to rise to the moment. He understands the joy he brings to his listeners. I am 61, and my brain over writes the minor changes in his delivery...
We are the boomers who remember the simpler times. Tx JT
He’s been through so much he inspires me
There is no one else like James T. Growing up with his music and voice was something musically special. The part of being great is to know when it's "that time". Time takes us all. I just seen him in Vegas. He is old. His voice not as young ss it used to be. He looked tired. I've seen him many times through the years. It's time to go out on top.
Listening to JT will always remind me of one of the first women I dated. We played his music over and over in her tiny apartment in Toronto. Takes me right back to those simpler times.
A voice sent from God. No more No less 👌
Loving every minute of this song and James Taylor! ❤️
Heroin takes a toll on the soul. James Taylor is more than an inspiration.
In 1991 James played LATE NIGHT with David Letterman. I waited in the lobby in 30 Rock at the elevator where I knew he would exit, all the whole hoping that he would not disappoint me and be a jerk.
When he exited the elevator I held out his current CD and asked him to autograph the liner notes. He obliged and asked me how I liked the new CD, and if I had a favorite track (Copperline and Frozen Man we’re my favorites, BTW) JT could not have been nicer or more generous with his time. James Taylor is the best.
Remember purchasing the "Mud Slide Slim" album in abt 1970 at the Warner Brothers Studio lot at one of their little record stores. Been a James Taylor fan since big time. Such a great artist.
Lovely.
Still in Carolina an loving it !!!!!!!
Troubador extraordinaire.
Perfect
How has no one noticed that Bernie Williams (yes, that one) is playing electric guitar and Will Lee is on bass. Brilliant musicians!!
And Antonio Sanchez on drums!
What a performance! I've seen him twice at Wrigley Field. For some reason... I always get choked up when I hear this song. It was played at a friend's funeral. And by the way, I harmonize great with James.
Wow, what lovely memories - I am 63 y.o. Brought me memories...👏👏🌟
Love 🥰
Love-
James is a living legend, my first wife turned me on to him sometime around 1970, I've loved him ever since. He's a Massachusetts boy, one of our treasures.
I remember when this came out, it brings tears to my eyes.
My first crush❤️
