Carole King & James Taylor - UP ON THE ROOF (Live)

[@robertroyal8893]

We are blessed to have these two making music in our lifetime.

[@gwynnielsen5081]

I have always thought that this was a perfect idea for a song, so original, so simple.

[@GroovyShelly]

IN addition to hearing one of the greatest pop songs ever written and the brilliant musicianship, the pure love on that stage is something glorious.

Tough to beat this song, sung by these two.

[@JohnnyCardinale]

Jeez, this is the most moving thing I've ever seen.

[@loudim186]

This song brings back great memories! My dearest friend lived in Philly on 3rd and Bainbridge back in 2017-2020 and we would go up to the roof. We would bring some food, beers or wine, cushions, a blanket,and the Oontz Bluetooth speaker. A great view of the city skyline and sky. Such wonderful memories!!!! I'll cherish them always. ❤

[@karenjdavis8]

[@pattyayers]

You had to do it, eh. Couldn’t get through 1 music video without making the embarrassing old-person remark

[@J2000LT]

Two of the most amazing Legends on the same stage - what a show that was! No one has topped that in my concert wheelhouse and never will.

[@alantaylor8900]

James' voice on this is just superb. The harmonies are the best. Paradise for me just listening. Thank you for the music!!

[@islaineaparecidasantos3720]

Eles formavam um casal tão lindos. Na época. ❤❤❤

[@krn314]

I could listen to James Taylor sing the phone book and still be happy. There will never be another like him. Simply epic.

[@jeannieharmon628]

i saw james taylor, i want to say around 1971, at the greensboro nc coliseum. one of the best concerts i ever went to. never have had the privilege to see carole. both are 2 of my favorites of all time!

[@robyn9414]

I had someone in my life 40+ years ago, I will always have a place in my 💓 heart named Chris in Portland, OR! He helped me find the woman in me, after a bad marriage! ! I wish we had a child together, J&E! Ha!

[@petereyles5583]

As Carole sang you just drift away to this beautiful song!!!!!

[@tweetybird2968]

I love them together. Just such a magical bond between them! They sound like they are suppose to be together. And I love them separately as well. 💜💜love you both!!!💜💜

[@kendebeer9269]

The best band ever to back James and Carole. The originals.... Danny Korthchmar, Russ Kunkel and Leland Sklar...

[@jpeyton88]

@MusicMadMaurice Kortchmar introduced Taylor to King when Taylor was looking for a pianist. Have loved their albums for since the early 70s.

[@TedBishop1]

Leland Skylar is a legend

[@lwplwp]

[@jimmymackster33185]

Carole King and James Taylor are awesome

[@lwdfn7479]

Who remembers James Taylor performing this on Sesame Street? It was terrific and the reason Sesame Street was so successful in the early years. The parents enjoyed watching as much as the kids and that was the whole point!

[@stephenspencer4672]

Saw these two and the Immediate Family all together ❤️ in the round at Key Arena (now called Climate Pledge Arena) in Seattle in 2007. Great night great show and timeless memories.😊❤❤

[@susanlebase5418]

Two icons of popular music singing an iconic song. What treasures, and with that backup group!

[@pattyayers]

Yes, and icon icon was really icon when the icon got icon and the word “icon” getting mangled constantly in 2024

[@pattyayers]

ICONIC treasures, and ICONIC backup group

[@johnmichaelcallahan2494]

[@BanBiofuels]

You want these artists to live forever.

[@robertcudlipp3832]

Russ, Le ( + Excalibur ") and Kootch provide a superb backing for surely one of the best live concerts ever. Simply trust the audience appreciated the truly stellar quality of that which they were privileged to both witness and be a part of.

[@charlesmann5516]

Simply Amazing what two souls can do for the world and make a difference!

[@UlIxes1]

Dont get no Better than this ABSOLUTELY EPIC

[@marialiglesias1699]

Just love them. God bless them both. Thanks for the upload.

[@SWLinPHX]

Such a sweet, sunny, moving message that shines thru her lyrics and his voice. Can hardly believe King wrote so many great hits long before she herself was a renowned recording artist as well in the early 1970's. She seemed so young and "new" when Tapestry was released yet she had been writing some of the greatest hits for bands over a decade earlier.

[@fbello18]

Two of my heroes ! I really love the way they compose their song and the way they play. The sound of James guitar looks like magical !

[@EVVIVA2able]

I love .........these TWO.!!!!

[@tonyfazioli8579]

Simply amazing.

[@JoOp-ic5dp]
