I’ve Got a Friend in James Taylor

My connection with the singer-songwriter and the full-circle moment in San Diego

How Sweet It Is: James Taylor and friends deliver a nostalgic set to a sold-out crowd.

One of music’s greatest qualities is its ability to transport you back in time.

For me, hearing James Taylor instantly brings me back to my childhood.

In the early ‘70s, my older brothers listened to his records on repeat. Songs like “Sweet Baby James” (1970), “You’ve Got a Friend (1971), and “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)” (1975) were etched in me.

Five decades later, Taylor’s warm, introspective songs still carry me home to a simpler time.
