Carol wrote the song and allowed James to record it which became one of his biggest hits. You should check out one that he wrote called. Fire and Rain.

[@tammyford2357]

Fire and Rain gets me every time. Love that song.

[@hughdavidvisor1769]

Carol King wrote this in reply to Taylor's Fire & Rain.

[@daleb1279]

James Taylor is great, but I think for me, the living legend on that stage is Carole King. She's written so many hit songs, great singer and pianist.

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

Can’t go wrong with anything James Taylor ♥️

[@shaneanigans440]

James Taylor and Jim Croce are 2 of my favorite musicians. I'm only 36 and that type of soft rock or just feel good music is incredibly relaxing. This is a beautiful live performance with Carole King and James Taylor.

[@bertdoesgaming9700]

Mine too and i'm only 16.

[@louisperlman8030]

Jim Croce’s Photographs and Memories was the first album I ever purchased, after hearing Time in a Bottle played a lot by the local radio station near the summer camp I went to. That was in the seventies. Great to see young music fans into this type of music.

[@shaneanigans440]

@Louis Perlman Operator was the song that got me hook, line, and sinker for Croce. That song alone introduced me to this whole genre of incredible musicians and writers. Van Morrison is another that can hypnotize you with his great voice and music.

[@wearinganapron]

In a similar, uplifting vein, please listen to James Taylor's "Shower the People You Love." Gives me the feels every time. : )

[@davidl5452]

Love James Taylor's voice and style. Could listen for hours. Glad you enjoyed this one.

[@benanddaniellereviews]

You should listen to Carole King’s “So Far Away”.

[@jenniferirving9338]

Yes yes yes

[@tarahill2193]

Yes Yes yes ,thankyou

[@LibertarianJRT]

James Taylor is my mother's favorite singer. Fire and Rain is another great song.

[@patticriss2238]

He was and is an unparalleled talent. Carole King could sing anything. Beautiful song

[@turnip9488]

This has been my favorite song my entire life. Finally got to see these 2 perform together and just bawled my eyes out the whole time! JT is the best ever, no one can change my mind

[@DrJekyllMH]

"Carolina on my mind" and "Up on a roof" are two of my favorites from James Taylor

[@travishamrick6728]

Carol King wrote “up on the roof” and originally recorded by the drifters

[@RadCenter]

"Sweet Baby James" by James Taylor and "(You Make Me Feel Like a) Natural Woman" by Carole King should be next! Also check out Taylor's fantastic duet with his first wife, Carly Simon, here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoiwkIVja6Z-fqc

[@lankylongman]

James Taylor is simply put, amazing. Please more 🙏

[@flutesong5527]

Two greats together in an experience that can only be called lovely

[@KevinRCarr]

She wrote it, he recorded it. But then, I'm sure others have already told you that, if you didn't already know it. I just want to say this; Goddamn! That still hits me right smack in the brain pleasure center of the thirteen year-old that used to be me. It still rocks me back on my internal heels, and reminds me of the passions for all things relationship related that I was feeling for the first times when this song gave me words and music that seemed to be about things I was yearning to express, then. You're right. Great song, and this is a great performance.

[@d.j.starling3559]

James Taylor's first hit was Fire And Rain, which he wrote while dealing with a friend's suicide. In response, another friend wrote You've Got A Friend for JT. That friend was Carole King. James Taylor is among the GOATs of 70s music, & his song catalogue is long & very entertaining. His first, & longtime (now former) wife is Carly Simon, another great voice of the time. Two of her best song are That's The Way I Always Heard It Should Be & You're So Vain. James & Carly did some things together, too. Their duet of Mockingbird is a classic you shouldn't miss! Carole King has been writing hit songs since the late 50s, with more than 100 of those songs making it onto the record charts, being performed by a wide variety of artists -- enough to keep you busy with reactions for probably a month or more. That list includes: Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow by The Shirelles You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin Locomotion by Little Eva One Fine Day by The Chiffons Carole King songs were also recorded by Barbra Streisand & The Beatles, to name just 2, and Carole King is a voice you must let yourself hear. In 1971, she released her second album as a singer -- Tapestry -- & it's still considered by many to be one of the best albums of all time!! You would love her song, I Feel The Earth Move, from that LP. Actually, you'd probably love every song on Tapestry. She has lots more since then to showcase her incredible voice. Both James Taylor & Carole King are icons of the 70s, and their music, together, separately, with others & their songs being sung by others is an extremely entertaining rabbit hole you should jump into with a smile on your face & a song on your lips.

[@lynnecurrie7561]

Two legends on the stage.!!!

[@joannerichards1750]

Carole's smash hits would fill an encyclopedia - she's written songs for everyone in rock 'n' roll. Her first album as a singer was a smash too - "Tapestry" contained the killer hits "It's Too Late", "So Far Away", "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" and "I Feel the Earth Move". James' smash hits are eternal classics - "Fire and Rain", "You've Got a Friend", "Carolina on my Mind", "Shower the People", etc.

[@ChanelStuff]

We ALL need someone like this. From the top business exec to the homeless on the streets. At some point in time we all need a friend. This is one of my favorites from JT.

[@jamespeyton7312]

King said she wrote the song, words and music, in the time it takes to play it. It came to her complete-a sign of true genius.

[@rebeccapkrekel4318]

Amazing they still sound good together after 40 years. Enjoyed watching you appreciate them.

[@annedunne4526]

Two amazing singers/ songwriters. Apparently Carole King wrote this song after she heard James Taylor singing his song " Fire and Rain"and the line "you can't find a friend" so she wrote " you've got a friend".

[@WendyJoJohnston]

It gives me such pleasure seeing these old friends of mine reaching new ears. You are a great reactor, and you make me smile. Listen to Tapestry from Carole King's album of the same name, if you would be so kind. I think you will like it, it's a favorite of mine.

[@kristyb787]

My girls are 42, 44 and 46. I played Tapestry so much they know every song by heart.

[@wendyjohnston6189]

@@kristyb787 *grin* I taught my kids as they grew to listen to some good "old" songs. Tapestry is just one of the albums I played until they were singing along with it too! My babies are 41, 38, 31, and 29, the oldest has 2 of my grandkids 14 and 12, and my #3 daughter lives with me, she and her SO have a little girl going on 2. So I am blessed with a captive audience when I listen to and sing along with my music!

[@andiwindsparrow]

The thing is, if you know James and Carole’s work, you would hear the subtle ways that age is touching their voices in this performance. They are both amazing performers, and such geniuses with their vocal instruments that they are both playing to what remains strong about their voices while working around the encroaching weaknesses. I hear in this song, this performance a love letter and a preparation for farewell to each other as musicians, to the music that carried them all around the world, and to their fans.

[@SilverFang95]

My parents would put this on for me to help put me asleep.

[@noahetter51]

Love this reaction ♥️ more James Taylor would be great 👍

[@k.a.l5478]

I grew up with both of these artists. Amazing catalogs to go through. Both also did this song solo. Both iconic for us of their generation.

[@pamelabarrera5074]

Love ❤ this. 2 of my favorite Artist. Thx for sharing. 💕

[@pamelabarrera5074]

Sad . King wrote this song for Taylor. After his dear friend commented suicide 😢 💔.

[@cmikedeli2962]

Your smile is infectious, my friend, 😊

[@757optim]

Carol was inspired to write this song by a line in James' song "Fire and Rain". "I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend" is that line. James had a hit with "You've Got A Friend" and that studio cut sounds much better.

[@donr9861]

Try Carol Kings song It's to late . Amazing soft rock song . And being you are venturing into soft rock . You will not be disappointed. And one last thing, all of this music from soul , soft rock to hard rock played on the same radio stations . I loved it

[@MizCriz46]

James Taylor's "Fire & Rain" was written about an extremely low point in his life: the suicide of a friend (Suzanne), the breakup of his band (Flying Machine), depression & heroin addiction. In it he said, "I've seen lonely days when I could not find a friend." This was Carol's beautiful response.

[@jameseyman9078]

First concert I ever went to end they man im named after. I have a sister Carol as well! Seen Jt at least a dozen times

[@pfcampos7041]

I am so glad you did a version with Carole King in it. She wrote this song. She is an amazing artist. Anything off of her Tapestry album is worth the listen! I love James Taylor too. Please react to his song Fire and Rain. (my favorite) 💜👋

[@battlegirldeb]

Carole wrote this song for James in 1970 to be on his album, but she also put her version of the song on her album. Many people battle of who version is best. To me it's this one. Two old friends sing their song together.

[@tammyford2357]

Love the smile on your face near the end. This song just hits on so many levels.

[@1tishhead]

James: "I don't remember anything for a year on either side of it (a reference to his heavy drug use) but I remember the first time I heard what may be the best pop song ever written. It was amazing. Of course, I didn't know at the time I'd be singing it every night for the rest of my life. But it's a great song to be known for." Carole: "I'll be the first to say it's a great song because I don't feel like I wrote it. I just sat down and it kind of came through me."

[@gailsmythe8476]

song written by carol king.

[@garybeemer2339]

Both had a hit with this song. King wrote it with Taylor in mind

[@Cath1027]

I have always loved this song. Right now I love what you said about talking to people especially when homeless. That was even more beautiful. You’re a beautiful human being we need more people like you. Thank you for being you 💛

[@missst4063]

James Taylor - "Never Die Young" (1988)

[@mrscary3105]

How did you not have this song in your life as a child? I am so glad you are finding it now. Enjoy this path, you will be happier for it.

[@TheDivayenta]

Two icons!!!! Check out the Kennedy Center Tribute to Carole’s decades of songwriting- Aretha Franklin comes out and gives an epic performance of the song Carole wrote for her- “ Natural Woman”. It was one of Aretha’s last great performances. Carole’s reaction is worth the price of admission.

[@downwardisheavenward3006]

Suppose you should probably start near the beginning. For James, Fire & Rain. And for Carole, Where You Lead(I’m a big GGs fan, but I swear I knew it before 😁)

[@sbyman96]

If you haven’t heard “Sweet Baby James” also by James Taylor then I recommend it. He’s done it live with Carole King many times also

[@jillk368]

Their voices are so different now (they're in their 70s); actually, hers isn't that different, just a little fine-wine aged. He sounds very different, but still sweet and wonderful. Check out earlier duets (and individual) recordings of this by both of them for their peak vocals. But for sheer sentimentality, this is a great performance.

[@joyddeyto5345]

Wow James Taylor still James Taylor

[@melanieheathbeasley133]

The best of the best

[@mikmaqwoman]

Carol King wrote this and she and JT sang it. Try checking out It's too Late by CK and Steam Roller by JT. They were huge back in the late 60s early thru the 70's . She also wrote Natural Woman sung by A, Franklin

[@looneygardener]

Sweet song

[@dennisharnish9063]

I believe I should treat others like I would like to be treated. Because I never know I may some day fine myself in the same way.

[@peterbland7227]

Go watch the Kennedy Center Honors for Carol King. Particularly look for Aretha singing “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman” which Carol wrote for Aretha. Brings President Obama to tears. .

[@kathrynstafford7099]

My sister had her 8 track tape, Tapestry. Check it out. I Feel the Earth Move, etc. Oh and she also wrote , You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman.

[@Cape33914]

Try any song on Carole King’s Tapestry album. Phenomenal! She wrote many hits other artists as well.

[@dannydoc1969]

JT is the most soothing singer/musician ever. HIs guitar playing is pure genius, and subtle.

[@KittenOfDeath77]

Saw the together about 12 years ago, it was phenomenal.

[@scottflatt9880]

Love this song. I got to see Jame Taylor in the 90s, he made it seem like he was singing in your living room. Although there was 2000 people it was seemed small.

[@davidtullis2810]

Carol wrote this song to James when he was fighting drug addiction and a messy breakup with Carly Simon

[@sixpakshaker88]

Carole wrote a lot of hits for Mo-Town Girl Groups.

[@jillhanfland416]

You have such a nice smile

[@grimlock78]

A song I've always loved is "A Little Good News" by Anne Murray, you should listen.

[@AB-zv5bb]

Just scrolling thru lists of stuff and heard Steve Tyler of Aerosmith singng, and this is 3rd or 4th of your videos I'm watching...I don't know which is funnier, your reactions to the music or the fact you have never heard of some of them....this is 😊 fun...thanks

[@Arael_Angie]

Great song, remember it because of my parents, don't know any others sorry x

[@firesurfer8]

I have a few request I belive you will appreciate. Pantera (cowboys from hell) just a FYI the guitarist know as dime bag Darly was actually fataly shoot on stage at a show.

[@russellbantin8468]

RUSH - YYZ from the “Rush in Rio” live track would be a good one

[@RadCenter]

I'm sure someone has already made this comment, but Carole King wrote this song for James Taylor after one of Taylor's friends, Suzanne Schnerr, died by suicide. Taylor sang about Suzanne in his song "Fire and Rain," and when King heard it, she was moved to write this song. The version you just watched was recorded in 2010, about 40 years after it was written. You should check out Taylor and King's version from 1971! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJOqk3d9jZ2Smac

[@RadCenter]

This song was one of the top 50 of the second half of the 20th century, if you ask me, and James Taylor is the ultimate singer-songwriter.

[@PondWaterEnjoyer]

I recommend listening to "Midnight in Montgomery" by Alan Jackson, beautiful country song

I thought this concert made them look/sound like shadows of their former selves. I prefer older recording of live performances of these musicians. They sound off key to my ears. Love the message of the song, just can't listen to this version.

[@interactiveillusionist]

SUCH A TERRIBLE VERSION OF THE SONG. HE IS OK AT HIS CURRENT AGE, HOWEVER IN HIS PRIME HE WAS REMARKABLE. WHY YOU CONTINUE TO LISTEN TO THE MUSIC ARTIST AFTER THEY HAVE LOST THEIR PRIME ABILITIES IS SUCH A WASTE OF TIME AND ENERGY. What you think is GOOD IS SUB STANDARD AND A BAD REPRESENTATION OF THE TRUE BEAUTY OF EACH ARTIST YOU HAVE DONE THIS WITH.

[@godisfake78]

Sorry. Not this time. I cannot endorse this horrible, horrible song. 🤮
