Taylor and King
Taylor and King
I watched James Taylor and Carole King (Live at the Troubadour) on telly. That brought back a lot of memories. I was amazed that they can still do it - he's over 60 and she's knocking on 70. But do it they did.
Wonderful stuff

Re: Taylor and King
I love James Taylor, at least the old stuff. That's one of the CDs that goes in the car when we're on holiday, I never ever tire of listening to his 'best of' old songs. Dunno Carol King though!

Re: Taylor and King
Carole King - the one who at one time was married to Gerry Goffin (as in Goffin and King)? Also the one who wrote "You've Got a Friend"? (And many other songs that everyone hums without knowing who wrote them). The one who had a bit of a fling with James Taylor in times gone by? The one who made one of the best-selling albums (Tapestry) ever?

Re: Taylor and King
Glad you said it was good Mike. I recorded it and will watch it later today - it clashed with Ashes to Ashes (OH current fave )

Re: Taylor and King
I don't know who wrote the songs that James Taylor sings and Maggie that's an Aretha Franklin song innit?
As to where I have been - well I am very pleased that I am not the oldest person on this forum!!! They were a bit before my time.

Re: Taylor and King
No honey, definitely Carole King - don't know if Aretha Franklin covered it though - but it would be fabulous by her too

Re: Taylor and King
I only know it as an AF song and must admit I don't like Carol King at all singing (been listening a bit).
But this is one of my all time faves, but then when you get used to someone singing a song well it sounds like anyone else is murdering it (like Madonna doing that Nielson song).

My OH and I used to argue a lot over who sang a particular song best (forgotten which one! ), Paul Young or Daryl Hall.

Re: Taylor and King
Loads and loads and loads of people (including Aretha Franklin) did Carole King songs - it's worth Googling her listings, because some of them are a complete surprise. I know what you mean about her, though, MMM. She's a tad raw - but I like raw. On the other hand, she's written some beautiful stuff (makes me feel proud to be one of the oldies )

Re: Taylor and King
I've remembered the song now (old age creeping up!) - Every Time you Go Away. Anyway must admit Daryl Hall does do the high notes exceptionally well it's just I prefer Paul Young's voice.Millymollymandy wrote:My OH and I used to argue a lot over who sang a particular song best (forgotten which one! ), Paul Young or Daryl Hall.
So hearing that song that I 'know' as an Aretha song so well, just doesn't sound the same being sung by Carol King. Ditto her singing 'You've got a Friend' - again I know it so well by JT it sounds wrong hearing it from someone else.
Anyway just googled and although Carol King co-wrote it, it wasn't her originally singing it, it WAS Aretha. Carol did it 4 years later as an album track. So I think I'm justified in thinking it is an Aretha song! (I go for the singer not the writer as to whose song it is; imagine most people do!).
