I like this song very much .Thank you for singing this and shared at You Tube. Oh ! I can't believe it ! I never imagine that one day I will see your face.

I saw him outside a casino in Valley Center about this time. I had such a lousy seat that I never sat in it. I stood by the barricade the whole time. At the end, people started to leave, I walked up to the stage as did a few others, James came back out and did an intimate set just for us! thanks, James

They don't make them like them to much anymore, very rare. Sorry, we know you must be tired of You've Got A Friend and Sweet Baby James, and all of the other beautiful songs you both have song and wrote, but they are and always will be my heart and soul. Thank you with all my heart and soul Mr. James Taylor and Ms Carol King.

This song always evokes my deepest gratitude for my friends and family I am blessed with now. When I first heard your ever so kind voice singing this song, I was a lonely 19 year old, all alone in this new country with no money, no food and no shelter. I felt then you were my friend singing to me. I am now a happy 65 year old grandma of 2 grandkids. Thank you James for encouraging and comforting me in my dark times with your many wonderful songs.

If I could play guitar and sing like anyone, I would choose James Taylor. Your guitar playing is deceptively difficult, your vocals are always on point and your lyrics are simply incredible. I could be as far down in the dumps as humanly possible and a song or two from you puts me back where everything is right again. I don't know when I first heard you, I was born in 1960 so it was quite a while ago, and I have treasured you ever since.

Dear Mr. Taylor: I have been a fan of yours since the 70's when I was in college. Recently I learned that I need a triple bypass. Coincidentally, the surgeon who will perform the surgery is named James Taylor. He is a wonderful gentleman as well as a gifted surgeon. I have "revisited" two of my favorite songs of yours which I find particularly poignant at this stressful time in my life. "You've Got a Friend and Handy Man". I listen to them often now and they both have given me great comfort and hope. God Bless you for the feelings of confidence that I know everything will be alright. You, sir, are National Treasure! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

PS: I played this song after my groomsman's speech for my best friend who was also my groomsman and is now the god father of my daughter at his wedding. His bride came up on stage, put her arm around me and spontaneously sang harmonies. This must have been one of the most emotional moments of my life. My friend Christian is my best friend, and I am his best friend - same applies now to his wonderful wife; and NO song can depict this better than this gem.

When my parents emigrated to Germany with my brother and me, in March1965, I lost all my roots completely, was really stripped of my background in a way, having to learn a new language within rhe summer vacation, thus, more or less, stumbling into a totally different culture.... Quite a few years later, I started to recall the music I had been listening to in the USA, and, do you know what, James ? It was your music, along with Carol King's, Carly Simon's and Joni Mitchell's, that I couldn't get enough of, really ! I've been following you guys and your various performances all over the globe ever since, enjoying, time and again, all your lyrics and melodies, wrapped up in your beautiful, wondrous personalities and performances.... !
