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

LIVE AT THE TROUBADOUR, LOS ANGELES

[@shermac246]

Carole King one of the most authentic and kindest singer/songwriters, no one whose worked with her or knows her can say an unkind thing about her, a true professional and so gifted

[@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.

[@deborahragali51]

The magic of James Taylor and Carol King nothing better in life. I've had the privilege to see them in the round.

[@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.

[@maddyL1234]

Gorgeous gorgeous. Carole is a genius song writer and piano.player. Love James's voice completely. Together they are magic. Wish I could have seen them perform.

[@BongEnriquez-vq5vb]

Song of my life, thank you Carole and James ♥️

[@Pacercampos]

It's difficult to even comment on how spectacular they are.

[@jimthomson2684]

Watched this video and bought the dvd. Enough said !

[@sophiafakevirus]

Yea but the DVD has pitch corrected vocals all the way through.

[@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. ❤

[@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!

[@Nancie-b2i]

The original song is good , I love these two together. Love this version.❤

[@VILJL]

She is the queen!

[@alantaylor8900]

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

[@jnorton8022]

Just catching this now...great performance. Lets not forget Leland Skylar on bass, It makes the whole team complete.

[@ciaranpringle9082]

I cry with joy every time I hear this.

[@andyhewitt9235]

These two are great artists in their own right, when they get Together something really special

[@JohnnyCardinale]

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

[@karenbittner3381]

Carole & James - special personified. I have seen them live, nearly just melted with the overwhelming passion that they share.

[@karensus881]

I could listen to James and Carole all day!

[@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!

[@krn314]

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

[@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.

[@TedBishop1]

actually 5 amazing legends Danny Korthchmar, Russ Kunkel and Leland Skylar...are legends themselves Google them !

[@ginny5937]

Ted Bishop__ Ditto!

[@2msvalkyrie529]

@ Ted You beat me to it !! 🇬🇧 👍 !

[@PiFl779]

From the first day I heard this song (I was 18 in 1978) to this day, I love it.

[@lindapearcr3138]

❤

[@gailmurphy5880]

So love this..doesn’t matter how old you are...you’re still the same inside all your life

[@jimthomson2684]

You are so right. But you don't get it till you get old !

[@tweetybird2968]

[@pattyayers]

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

[@johncullers]

This song speaks to me always bring me tears ..my connection to it in my life and time ..I cry everytime crying Now

[@karenjdavis8]

James Taylor's voice💖

[@grownjohnboy]

Who doesn't feel better after listening to "You've got a Friend?"

[@jonathanleahy2528]

Think it is the same for men and women, James Tayor's voice is so beautiful!

[@petereyles5583]

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

[@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!

[@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]

Watch out Kootch...🤫

[@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.😊❤❤

[@localguy8]

I arrived in US 1974 n my fist concert was Carol King opening for CSNY in Santa Barbara in 1975 wow she is still great after all these years love her ♥️

[@Dogtagnan]

They're having so much fun

[@lindapearcr3138]

❤

[@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.

[@Daviddavid-ev1dy]

Just brilliant

[@lindapearcr3138]

❤

[@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.

[@4orrcountry]

Tough to beat this song, sung by these two.

[@lindapearcr3138]

❤

[@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

[@jimmymackster33185]

Carole King and James Taylor are awesome

[@groovygirl23]

Two Absolute Treasures.

[@vinnysmyth7556]

I still get chills wow!!!!

[@isabeltherese3228]

Nothing more beautiful than this...

[@michaellawrence6696]

What more can anyone say? Two of the best voices singing a song of what we all should try sometime. Makes you forget about your hectic life if only for a little.

[@dfarrey100]

What a great song and duet from two old friends.

[@charlesmann5516]

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