[@sammycopley1]

used to sing this song with my dad all the time; one of my all-time favourites. beautiful rendition!

[@KamiMaltz]

Aw, thanks Sammy!

[@stanleykostrzewski7222]

Indeed , a beautiful rendition.

[@rayvanwayenburg998]

That's cool that you did that with you dad.

[@davidkettell5726]

you have a wonderful voice

[@brucen4719]

My God. To see two young people who are both overflowing with musical talent do a song like this and have it seem like you have been together for years is truly remarkable. Please, please please keep recording together - you are truly remarkable.

[@curtisgrindahl446]

These young people are the BEST thing happening in music today... love them all. And thanks to Josh for bringing them into my life.

[@frankboyd.]

Curtis Grindahl Nice music. May I suggest you try Larkin Poe Tip Of The Hat song covers. I discovered them last year. I agree young people can carry the musical torch.

[@peterkanitz3435]

You are sooo right ! 😉

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

I'm good too

[@heymoe1179]

"These young people are the BEST thing happening in music today"...AMEN to that.

[@Carl-jm2yw]

@@frankboyd.I totally agree. I follow Larkin Poe and I think the 2 sisters are Awesome. Fun fact: The sister’s got their from their great-great-great-great grandfather, Larkin Poe, who was a cousin of Edgar Allan Poe

[@gilmarriner3011]

Younger generation singing Joni Mitchell and James Taylor‘s songs. How wonderful! Thanks, almost forgot this tune. Nicely done

[@maxwellfan55]

Great comment. It's one of JT's best and these two did it due justice, God bless them.

[@tirandolaposta796]

exatcly

[@josephkendrigan684]

Great version. Very talented. Heartfelt.

[@robertewalt7789]

At least as well done as JT himself

[@wojciechzby]

In the midst of this sad times - young people are all we have left. My love to everyone who reads this.

[@JeffMiller-lp3dp]

❤

[@magicvalleymusicmaker3526]

This is the greatest cover of this song I ever heard!

[@roberthurley6860]

Beautiful rendition of this treasure. My wife and I used to see James Taylor every summer at his Jones Beach, NY concerts. He is her absolute favorite singer. I told my daughter once that the best part for me when he sang this song was watching the look on her mom's face.

[@GreenManalishiUSA]

Sometimes I think that the world is made up of two kinds of people. First, there are the incredibly talented and gifted people who gravitate toward each other and succeed in creating things of great beauty. And then there are the rest of us, who muddle through life and try to figure out whatever it is that we are good at, and mostly never find it. This performance is clearly in the first group.

[@just1mansopinion]

Three types of people.....Ben, you forgot the ugly trolls, who's only skill in life is to say mean and ugly things about the other two types, and hit the dislike button no matter how good something is!! Oh well, here's to the rest of us! Cheers\=/\=/

[@gbereterbide6440]

My brother, a female friend and I sang this song back in the 70's. Sweet rendition. It brings back all of those fond memories singing with those two. Smiles and hugs. "I can sing this song.."

[@ssy12335]

Good grief that was beautiful. Not an easy piece of music, let alone singing harmony and key changes oy vey nice. (As usual)

[@gyrocompa]

"You can stay as long as you like". OK, got it ! It will be a pleasure to stay on your channel !

[@dalemoreland5106]

Josh and Kami sing and play this great song better than anyone else I've listened to! Brought some tears to my eyes! Great job!

[@saltcellarcreations1244]

They should make James Taylor proud, that they should choose this song of his and do it SO WELL!

[@sudeste5073]

I just love Kami’s voice. The cover is wonderful!!!

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

His voice is great

[@hgg6448]

When I read at the start "You Can Close Your Eyes", I did. And what I heard was beautiful.

[@DAYSPRINGBELIEVER]

I have watched most of your presentations. This one is the most beautiful by far. Most accomplished and most true to your heart and talent. I can hear it, see it, feel it. It is a healing and restoring piece. Pure and fresh...like a flower in full bloom on an early spring morning...it brings😢😢 peace and order to chaos and pain. Thank you both for sharing your gifts. Your harmonies angelic music to my ears...angelic!😢❤

[@richardbloemenkamp8532]

This version really deserves to be a big hit. The video with the two of you is really great like this too. All is prefectly balanced.

[@ann8846]

Agreed. Wouldn't it be great to hear it on a mainstream station?

[@paulataft967]

I have so enjoyed getting to hear Josh and his talent over the past several months. Always blows be away with his arrangements, talent and collaborations. I will definitely be finding out more about Kami. How have I missed such a talent? Thank you guys for carrying on the music that is simple and complex all at the same time and exhibits your extraordinary talent!!

[@brians761]

My favorite JT song . I have to say when I saw the description , I almost didn’t want to listen to it get ruined . You absolutely nailed it in every way . Especially loved the harmonies . You both sounded amazing and did the song justice .Thanks for that surprise gem .

[@secretguyoz2]

My heart has officially melted..

[@redhaegar]

Whow, that was beautiful

[@jonb4195]

Whoa!!! That is incredible!!! Wow!!! Chills down my spine!!!

[@dominiquedourneau6426]

Am proud of ...that out of my past and our gran fathers fathers...a generation came out ..with you guys... Kind of lost hope a little...i feel better now...knowing that not all was lost on ...technology and crap...thank you.

[@therover4141]

These 2 are not a whole generation. These 2 are the only ones with decent musical taste out of a lost cause of a generation of leftist indoctrinated communist morons. Gotta figure out how to reel these young kids back in and lock loonies that go in the closet back in the closet. Teach them whites are not to blame for every other races problems and should hold no guilt for anything that happened in the past. That racism is racism even towards whites. Cops are not killing innocent people but the MSM and the left might be trying to. BLM and Antifa is insanity ran by marxist and commies and anarchist just read their home pages says so in plane English. Orange man not bad or has ever done anything racist. Done the opposite and is trying to bring some wealth and power back to the middle class and create jobs. Done a good job so far even though the left keep creating bullshit hurdles and are actively trying to destroy the economy further than what they did when the coof got let loose conveniently like all the other shit they pulled. Cant prove they are behind the flu but id bet a finger they got something to do with it and signs are pointing that way. Yeah things will be alot diffrent dealing with the left when Trump wins this time. Gloves are coming off. Gonna fill some prisons up and maybe a few holes cause I'm sure they will force hands.

[@TastemyAtrocity]

Love, love. Best cover of this song. James Taylor once explained he was on drugs when this live flowed out of him. I’d like to think this is the virgin version of the song :} if James Taylor wrote it sober at 10am over a nice cup of tea, it would be this.♥️

[@edithlazenby5839]

❤️❤️❤️ Sing it Kids!!! Beautiful!!

[@philochristos]

That was extraordinary!

[@ianson3]

Gorgeous call-and-response at 2:05.

[@alejandrosastre2232]

AAAAAMAAAAAAZIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!!

[@belascialoja4812]

The song is beautiful, you're _so_ beautiful, your name is beautiful. God, how beautiful is the world today : )

[@MrBeethoven3]

In a rainy day, you were the sun behind the clouds! Hugs from Argentina!

[@michaelwattie489]

Not sure how old this is but that's a SUPERB cover of a beautiful song! Thanks for sharing

[@brazenzebra]

Wow! So beautiful! You guys are better musicians together than apart. There's some sort of mystical male-female chemistry present for sure. Nobody absolutely nobody, covers Joni better.

[@chrisknowles]

So absolutely sweet. Thanks for sharing and brightening this old guy's day!

[@michaelmcclafferty3346]

What a talent these two young people have . Wonderful. Takes me way back to the early seventies.

[@orlandoguitarist]

I came here after hearing you sing a Joni Mitchell song on Josh Turner's channel. Your voice has an amazing quality -- I could listen to it for all eternity!

[@richardcheatham9490]

Holy Cow, young people, this immediately goes into my Saved Music folder and from there to a special person who's sure to appreciate it. I'll be waiting here to see the next one. Take care of that extraordinary gift, the both of you.

[@richardcheatham9490]

Спасибо за ответ Александр. Будь в безопасности и здорова там. Ричард

[@АлександрАлександров-я9ъ]

Thank you very much Richard, best wishes to you and your family.@@richardcheatham9490

[@copiedoffme]

How you can you not love that! 👍👏

[@Me_ThatsWho]

You guys nailed this! Would really love to hear you play more Joni as you nailed that too. While you're at it, some CSNY might keep me alive right now.

[@alanandjanetpohl4043]

Josh and friends did a great version of Suite Judy Blue Eyes, which is on KZbin.

[@MervynPatterson]

Well that looked effortless in the end! You two sounding fantastic together as always. Congrats on another great cover.

[@edpitman7035]

Absolutely outstanding 👏👏👏👏👏

[@alansmollen]

I don’t know the love songs and I can’t sing the blues, any more...... and you can sing this song when I’m gone- Beautifully done -thank you

[@thomasrobinson4401]

Cheers kids, beautiful.

[@gbh263]

One of my most favorite songs, thanks !!!

[@Hue_Nery]

Wow! Shivers up my spine! Only, I am so jealous of your talent. Both of you. Thanks so much for sharing. And thank God for great music.

[@herherje]

In that dark times of rap, trap, reggaeton and other suspicuios rythms, it´s a pleasure earing that kind of music... Thanks, Kami and Josh...

[@danieljulian4676]

Seminar in harmony. Not done the way I remember the song from recordings, of course, but so, so beautiful. You're blessed.

[@DAYSPRINGBELIEVER]

Many Times Over...Blessed Are You...Many Time Over

[@m.l.3150]

definitely one of my favourite songs by Taylor. As always impeccable performance by Josh and Kami

[@AlanHope2013]

It gives me hope for the future that someone like Kami takes the trouble to master the autoharp and the dulcimer, instead of going on AGT. It proves there is still integrity in the world, and the world to come. And Josh as well, of course, not leaving him out.

[@thomasmoores8239]

Dang, Kami. You do great singing Joni and you and Josh sound great.

[@doobeedoo2]

I think if you played this live for awhile together this would become even tighter. Nice job. I'll watch it probably 100 times.

[@westcorkthatching1892]

wow you blew me away thank you ,

[@ArraialHD]

WOW !!! Another Degree of Flawlessly...

[@jeffgaumond4250]

You can tell that Josh is getting a kick out of Kami killing that autoharp. A beautiful collaboration, as always. We could stand more, please. You have a beautiful voice, Kami.

[@jillwarsop1125]

Thank you. Just Beautiful x

[@Arch5280]

I've been watching this at least once a day for about a week! I need medicine...

[@Arch5280]

Ha ha! She looks so pleased with herself when they're done! Good job.

[@4Lights.5Liights]

applause!

[@45156]

Great song, perforned by two of KZbin;s greatest performers

[@marianebartulaba]

Oh, the sun is surely sinking down But the moon is slowly rising So this old world must still be spinning round And I still love you So close your eyes You can close your eyes, it's alright I don't know no love songs I can't sing the blues anymore Oh but I can sing this song You can sing this song when I'm gone It won't be long before another day We gonna have a good time And no one's gonna take that time away You can stay as long as you like Only close your eyes You can close your eyes It's alright Oh, I don't know no love songs I can't sing the blues anymore Sure but I can sing this song Yes and you can sing this song when I'm gone

[@brianogden9023]

I am young again when I hear this song 😊

[@ThePseudoDionysius]

Two perfect complementary voices. What more can be said?

[@wessel624]

I always love it when you two do Mitchell songs together! Thanks!

[@relaxationmusicsanctuary3664]

This is so good.

[@davidblair4858]

Excellent. Great song too. Youngsters keeping it real. Great music isn't gone.

[@graphicsharel]

The best cover of this song I have ever heard, even better than the original

[@ElizaSandra]

One of my favorite songs. So happy to see you two cover it!!!

[@greglee4016]

I listened to this song again today after hearing the James Taylor Joni Mitchell version and wow are both versions great. Kami's voice is more Joni than Joni and Josh is channeling James. I absolutely adore this version as Josh's guitar sounds a bit richer but its amazing how good this song is.

[@glenndickson7627]

Great version of the original. Very talented pair!

[@PBDCooper]

oh well, definetely my favourite song played on a "zither" (in german)... Really nice and touching cover performance!

[@christopherivey9134]

Makes me happy to know this music will live on. One of my favorite recordings of James singing this song with Joni Mitchell. Thank you...

[@hepti5865]

So wonderful ❤️

[@70sstreetracergal61]

Just fabulous!!! 👍🏻☮️🤘🏻

[@Dellis803]

Thank you for this fine experience.

[@DG-wu7ke]

You guys have a great chemistry. Perfect match

[@luciusblackmail8129]

This is very beautiful, both your voices, so sweet to listen to.

[@greglee4016]

Absolutely wonderful. I missed this video when it was released and just came across it and was blown away with how beautiful it is. Thank you both for the joy you bring. Wow!

[@eekamoose]

Wow! What an utterly beautiful version of this song!

[@richardtimson1361]

Fantastic I was blown away

[@The333Wanderer]

Nice harmonies. Beautiful song. Thank you.

[@Hadley2410]

I have watched this 7 times in a row.......maybe 1 more......thank you both.

[@ibbotsoni]

You SOUND like Mitchell and Taylor. The accents, everything. If I close my eyes, that's who I hear.

[@mannonmission1]

I loved that ......thank you so much!

[@randywhitlow1260]

You’ve made this old guy very happy.

[@torbjrnlund903]

You nailed it. Clap, clap, clap ... 👏🏻

[@bobchristopher6928]

That little nerd Josh is so talented! I’ve been watching him for 5 or 6 years and I love every cover he does. He can play and I’ve yet to hear a harmony that he can’t sing!

[@johngeddes7894]

You two make up a magic duet. Top shelf work here.

[@98raja]

Amazing. Two voices in perfect harmony singing one of my favourite songs .

[@Rebky]

Beautiful Harmony, you sound so good together!

[@e-bikeskibum7141]

You guys are a musical match made in heaven!! The matchmaker in me says you should get married!!!

[@stevederebey]

Beautiful! You guys are just wonderful together! I just love, love, love your music!

[@saskiacornish7126]

I imagine in 50 years or so time, two people like you will get together and sing your music :)

[@pbrooks4040]

Holy crap, that was moving!

[@treetoplake]

Beautiful version .. really lovely to hear the harmonies .. wow

[@septemberquest6393]

Marvelous rendition 👏👏👏

[@tomreingold4024]

Oh gosh, that is so sweet. Thank you so much. I played autoharp as a kid and haven't played it since then. You've inspired me to break it out. Maybe I'll do this song with my beloved, too!

[@jefferypadgett334]

Great job! Nice harmonies. Beautiful song.

[@alosi16]

Was listening to Linda Ronstadt sing this like only she can. I didn't realize (probably the only person on Earth) that it was J.T.'s. Clicked on Kami here and loved her voice immediately. Pretty as a picture and clear as a bell. Wow Kami from your new fan thank you.

[@jshink5038]

Just found this. Beautiful!

[@alistaircassidy]

Lovely version of one of my favourite songs. There is an old video clip on KZbin of James and Carly singing it that is just bliss.

[@louismeluso8633]

Perfect duet! One of your best, Josh.

[@mysticmountainjam2373]

I really enjoyed your version of this classic song 👍
