I live in Hong Kong and I am 70 years old now. In 1972, 52 years ago, I was studying late at 1 am at night for college exam, the radio back then was playing James Taylor’s You’ve got a friend.
Carole King was my mother in 1970 when I didn't even know what a mother was. She was warm, emotional, and involved. I still listen to Tapestry and know that we had a bond she didn't even know about.
One of the greatest songs of all time. Thank you Carole for writing it and thank you James for making it famous. And thank you for singing it together.
Discovering the music, the vibe, the unmistakable voice.." I've seen the biggest music (real)stars/groups, luckily. Seeing JT when I was 18/19, was unforgettable & in my Top 3, all-time favourite gigs... JT, The Eagles, Dylan. Still playing the three's timeless, masterpieces.... Simply on a different level....
I have been a huge fan of Carole and James for many decades. They are timeless…. I particularly love the interaction in this clip. Beautiful and harmonious unity. #lovecarolekingandjamestaylorr Bless you both!
Where has the time gone? Life was so simple back then when these 2 extremely talented artists came to fame. I want those days back for my Grandchildren
The strangest & greatest thing about these two is that they sound the same so many moons later...Their relationship is a magical friendship... The talent is just amazing, when they collaborate it's pure beauty for the ears..
Loved it back then when Carole sang it & loved it back then when James sang it. To see them sing together ❤️ is pure magic. If only you could capture moments like these and bottle them. They're worth their weight in gold. Xxoo You got a friend!
no words can describe caroles beauty and energy! She still sounds incredible and James is perfect!!!!! If u can see this show its a once in a lifetime experience. You will be in heaven every minute.The audience sang every note along with them. It doesnt get any better than this show!!!!
May is just say, they are both gems, but my preference is the man's version, this even though this lovely talented woman wrote the song. Only James Taylor could sing this with so much feeling
Tapestry was one of those albums I used to play and sing to over and over and over as a teen. Carol is an icon for a reason! So many amazing songs that she recorded, and she is also incredibly talented as a songwriter. She's written songs that were perfect for her and for people like James, Aretha, The Drifters, Mariah Carey, and Donny Osmond! Her songs move us so much because they are real, just like her!
They sing this song on the last day of the 50 year old iajhsc(Illinois association of jr highschool student councils) summer camp and whenever i hear this song i am flooded with so many memories
This song got me through a bunch of years. And then i would play a James Taylor song and keep driving across the country knowing deep down inside that it would all work out....and now that was 50 years ago.
To my friends, Darryl, Henry, Clifton, Freddie, Dominic, Tony , Bede and Georgie. Takes me back down memory lane to the early 70s, day dreaming these tunes, all beauties. God Bless You, James Taylor, Carole King and of course, 'No Secrets - Carly Simon'
Brilliant, the only version I really heard in England when young was James Taylor which was the definitive for this song,it was his song and his only and never knew she wrote it or sang it😢😢
From a woman who broke through an almost invisible glass ceiling. It is difficult to describe a woman who wrote some of the best Urban rock of the 60's and then moves into a more upper middle class public acceptance. Perhaps she was 'marketed' differently as Jews moved into the middle class. However that history does not explain her beautiful music and her brilliant musicianship and genius as a composer! She is a brilliant musician and a beautiful performer. She is ageless.
+Benjamin David I made a comment to you somewhere else, I think Nancy Sinatra, Boots. I have another, Carole is just great, loved her for a long time, why is it that I still confuse her with Carly Simon?
No . Back in the day , writers were given assignments and listened to a " sound " , or songs already recorded by a group . The writers task was to write the next hit . The writer was a commodity contracted by the publisher . When Carol had a big enough ' Catalog ' of different material they often took the big risk of stepping out from behind the studio . For Carol , that came when she opened for James Taylor after he took off with "You've Got A Friend " , which she wrote for him . This was a step she took before " Tapestry " was released .
Yeah, tears in my eyes too! Whats better than a friend like they seem to be? So many memories w/this song, l love them both! Peace be to them!! Only wish I could go back to this time.
It was meant to be,,,,I did meet James he needed a expesso it was 530 am but I acted like no big deal It was surreal he was staying at a resort I worked at
i bumped into a band in tasmania at the beach, rehearsing this song, n yes it was so nice, n inspirational, and i listened to the words, as i felt exactly what they were singing, outta respect, n only respect i stopped filming as i was filming the gorgeous coast n i hadnt seen my friend much in 27 years, yet i was there with a friend, i didnt even realise they were there rehearsing this song til i walked closer, twas so weird

I made Thumps up number 12, but in my mind I give you an extra 100 ;-)

So nice
One of the greatest songs of all time. Thank you Carole for writing it and thank you James for making it famous. And thank you for singing it together.
Phew. Big call there. Though I love James, Carol's writing and delivery had such raw pain behind it. So far Away is just classic
@@patrickvanrinsvelt4466 qaaaaa00
Agree
😢😢😢😢
@@patrickvanrinsvelt4466 So's "Fire and Rain." And JT didn't exactly write that from a happy place when he was twenty-something. 😞
After some 51 years, it´s still a joy to listen to these two as if no time has gone by. One of my favorite songs of all my times.
Ageless

Absolutely beautiful
Timeless
Past, present, future...
March 15 2024 and I'm here for it.. Again ❤

Hello 👋 Karen.
What for me is the most difficult part of growing old is the music, how in these times there is hardly any music that matters.
We know how great they are, but together, it's a ride to the moon
Where has the time gone? Life was so simple back then when these 2 extremely talented artists came to fame. I want those days back for my Grandchildren
YOU SAID IT!
U a shithole
If you are as great as this woman, you have NO GLASS CEILINGS! Stop using this excuse! Just be a Carol King!
Absolutely. Bring back the joy!
And no one sings it better than James and Carol.
Yes they are really Awesome...
Don't watch this unless you wanna cry a bit. :)
It is so brilliant 👏 ❤
Tear jerker... Still loving both of them after half a century
I REMEMBER THIS VERY WELL AND AT THE SAME TIME AND YEARS CHICAGO COLOR MY WORLD ,ANTBODY KNOWS WHAT TIME IT IS
Songs then were very meaningful. Full of love!
Que inspiración para cantar, eres súper genial Carole King, te amo, que súper canción. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song epitomizes both of these geniuses. Because they clearly are true friends.
These two are beautiful inside and out. Their music makes me feel so wonderful, especially at a very low place in my life right now.
Cheer up Wanda. That's what music is for, specially by these great singers.
Carol king one of my favorite singer i really like her songs album tapestry
She is a musical genius...
Carole King is amazing. I love to hear her sing.
You and I James always and for ever my dear friend for life.....

Both of them are legends!!!!
Yes❤️❤️❤️
Same here. Are guys allowed to show emotion?
Yes, Carol wrote it, but He recorded it, & did a single because it was a hit... CLASSIC!!! ✂️
If anybodyy doesn't understand the meaning of the word "friendship" : the definition is right here before your eyes guys !
She is even more beautiful with age! Love Carole King.

Music like this never dies!
She still has her voice......so nice
Para mi es la cancion mas bella que he escuchado y me hace recordari juventud y eso me pone feliz
Miss my friend who used to sing this song to me. Idk where he went....
Tapestry was one of those albums I used to play and sing to over and over and over as a teen. Carol is an icon for a reason! So many amazing songs that she recorded, and she is also incredibly talented as a songwriter. She's written songs that were perfect for her and for people like James, Aretha, The Drifters, Mariah Carey, and Donny Osmond! Her songs move us so much because they are real, just like her!
One of the best albums ever just listen to how it's too late starts on the fade of the previous song just fantastic
Me too. Sad to hear what these songs are about when she was still writing with her husband.
Classic, wonderful words sung by the best!! Love both Carol and James!!
They sing this song on the last day of the 50 year old iajhsc(Illinois association of jr highschool student councils) summer camp and whenever i hear this song i am flooded with so many memories
always my favorite song that touches my being of what i am
Nothing but pure class!
This is timeless ! Music and lyrics of the most basic thing in life.
What can I say but, you will really understand this song when, you really have a "friend".
a never ending story..music to dream..
Thank you Carole and James, you made our lives happier.
Beautiful friends singing together.❤️
Btw still love this song my friend. God Bless u n your family ❤️
I Love Carol King.....period...
I've probably seen this clip 30 times in the last month, and every time he cuts in and she laughs I get teary eyed! 😂
Two American music icons. We are blessed to still have them with us.
Yes. I got the chance to see them when they toured side by side over a decade ago.
If you don't like this song get a PULSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People can be so cold, they'll hurt you, and desert you, and they'll steal your soul if you let them but don't you let them😍
This song got me through a bunch of years. And then i would play a James Taylor song and keep driving across the country knowing deep down inside that it would all work out....and now that was 50 years ago.
I Feel the Earth Shake under My Feet!! Thank You Carol and JT for Your Music!! Your Longevity Rocks
Carole King, my hero.
I am in love with all of this
One of the most beautiful songs written sung by icons in the industry....
My love, admiration & wholehearted respect for these two gifts from God cannot be overstated....❤️✝
crying like a baby right now!
Carole King and James Taylor the legend ❤️👍
My favorite song . And He is a great singer.
She is most definitely ageless!!! So well put!!! I love, love, love her works!!! All of them! :):) xoxoxo
Convincing soulmates, with an embracing bandstand. A pleasure ☺
No1 on my bucket list should they come to England together
To my friends, Darryl, Henry,
Clifton, Freddie, Dominic, Tony , Bede and Georgie.
Takes me back down memory lane to the early 70s, day dreaming these tunes, all beauties.
God Bless You, James Taylor,
Carole King and of course,
'No Secrets - Carly Simon'
This brought tears of joy to me. [sobbing and crying]
