well i just put on James Taylors greatest Hits and i remember about 3-4 years ago when i was about 15 and i had this friend and we used to listen to James Taylor when nobody else really knew who he was. And this is the first time i have listened to the album. My friend died in a car crash late last year, when we weren't really friends anymore, and when i listen to Sweet Baby James it reminds me of how we used to argue that "Sweet Baby James" was better and I thought "Carolina in my Mind" was better. Or i preffered it. And now i just listen to Sweet Baby James and i just like it better because he loved that song and it makes me smile when i think of the funny times we had singing those songs. We did a pretty darn good version of Mexico and my friend even said "that was our song". We said we would just go to Mexico one day. James Taylor is great and it makes me happy to look back on the funny times we had listening. We knew which CD was going on, just not which song, we argued! Everytime

I like James Taylor a lot. I love Carolina on my Mind and Fire and Rain. Probably my favorite songs by him. I also love You've Got a Friend which is not one of his best if you ask me but due to a bunch of stuff going on in my life at the time, it became very important to me.

I have to say mine is "Shower the People" for the same reason - the memories that are associated. Also like "Country Road" and of course "Your Smilin' Face", which was not included in the US release of Greatest Hits. I had to buy the import.

I've always liked Fire & Rain. There's a very sad story behind the song. Look it up!

I like Carolina on My Mind...I think that's my fave with him, but must admit that when I hear his name I think of his cover of "Mockingbird" that he did with Carly Simon.
JT is a wonderful artist. So soothing.
