    There are no adjectives big enough to show the love I have for James Taylor.True music royalty. True humanitarian. I am 67 and grew up and grew old with JTs music.I FINALLY got to see him in concert about 4 yrs ago in Providence. As soon as James appeared on stage, I started crying tears of joy,tears of respect,and had a sense that I was about to witness the greatness of one of my childhood idols. Believe me he did not disappoint!! After the show I truly felt my life was more complete.I had just witnessed one of the greatest and beloved singers/songwriters known to man. This is not an exaggeration!! His voice was as sweet as it was back in the 60s. His music,his wit,and his mere presence made that night so very special. Thank you James Taylor for a lifetime of music, memories and life lessons.I love you man!!!

      James Taylor himself is about as negative as you can get. He’s a chronic depressive personality.

      Because they have NOTHING in their own lives. Yo hang in there Cheryl. We care. Millions of us got your message. Just ignore igniore the haters. Delete them out of your life. James Hall, Oxygen-A Love Song. Soon produced by Tarron Crayton, Female vocals. 3 Back- Up singers. All Black group. I am not a greeat songwriter but, good enough. I am certain I will have millions of haters but, tarron will make it great and I will sit 'Behind the Scenes' quiet. Smiling! And just say, Damn, I did it. I am white and grew up in Los Angeles, Sout Central. Only white Orphaned kid. Foster homes. Bullied all my childhood. Haters all around me. A few black guys respected me for Athletism. Friendships. Respect was key. 1972 US Army, Europe. I frequented Jazz, Blues clubs. ALL Black. I met my Italian wife in Jazz club. She asked me to dance. That was it. While on secret missions (NATO HQs Investigator, drugs) she sent me "care Packages'. that was first love of my life. She was hated by Germans. She could speak 5 languages and GREAT WRITER. It was not easy for her. I brought her to USA. She was age 23. American girls hated her accent etc. jeolousy. IMO. And suddenly working FREE as Intern at Warner bros studio around Stallone, mel Gibson. Liam Neeson. etc etc. She became Vice President. Worldwide Film/Music Publicity, KITARO band frist world tour she Organized. Today after 36 wonderful years at the top young girls ask her for help., LMAO Looking back. few helped her. You oull yourself UP by your bootstraps she tells them. WORK HARDER. It doesn't come free. Nights. Weekends. No partying and believing you can smile, use your body and walla....Nope! Yes, haters Cheryl. Lazy people. They do not 'get it'. I was also VP Best Foods Corp. MBA UCLA. I never partied. drank. worked weekends and nights. Earning it. Orphan kid from Maine. John Deere Corp. heavy equip. Marketing mgr. Italy 1981. Young men now ask me to help them. ? What? Work for it. Go to University. Stop partying and believing it all gets handed to you. New age sucks. 2021 America all changed. 2025 will be FAR WORSE., Project 2025 will destroy USA. Bless you Cheryl...Your a special person. jh, US Army veteran SGT, songwriter

      He has been my husband or future husband since 1968 when I was 16. Has remained that way as he comforted me through the death of a child, then the death of my husband of 48 years over the last three years. I will always treasure what he has brought to my life with the exception of someone impersonating him over the last three years being set up by someone I actually had met through one of his official sites who originated a scam that got out of control. In no way do I blame him. He is still my future husband. Sorry Caroline. An old lady can dream of retiring with him. He will always be my James and his music the background of my life.

Was born 9 months after James and his music has been with me, along with the rest of us, all these years. Sweet Baby James was the first album I ever bought, right when it came out. $3.33. :) Subscribed to your channel. Thanks again!

    please give us the option to turn off the caption - it's annoying and doesn't accurately reflect what the singer is singing. If a hearing impaired person is watching it will just make them think the singer is messing up the lyrics - they would be better served by lip reading or someone signing the lyrics. It ruins an otherwise really nice performance.

For some reason the boring Darius showed up at the end? as did Garth A bit. SO ODD ! were they nervous ? Lack lustre until the end. He was worthy of so much more.
