James Taylor & Carole King - You've Got A Friend (BBC In Concert, 11/13/71)

Музыка

In this restored footage of "James Taylor In Concert," James performs @TheCaroleKing's classic song, "You've Got a Friend" on the popular @BBC series "In Concert" on November 13, 1971. James is joined by Carole King on piano, Leland Sklar on bass and Russ Kunkel on percussion.
In 1971, Carole released her album "Tapestry" and James released "Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon." "You've Got a Friend" appeared on both albums and James's single of the song reached #1 on the Billboard 100 and #4 on the UK Singles Chart. Both albums won Grammy Awards for the song (Best Male Pop Vocal Performance and Song of the Year). Carole has said that she wrote "You've Got a Friend" in response to this lyric in James's song "Fire and Rain": "I've seen lonely times when i could not find a friend".
"In Concert" was produced by the BBC in the early '70s and featured performances from legendary acts of the time.

LYRICS
You've Got a Friend - by Carole King
When you’re down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing
Oh, nothing is going right
Just close your eyes and think of me
Yes, and soon I will be there
To brighten up
Oh, even your darkest nights
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running
To see you again
It’s winter, spring, summer or fall
Now all you got to do is call on me
And I will be there, yeah, yes, I’ll be there
You’ve got a friend
If the sky high above you
Should grow dark and full of clouds
And that old cold north wind
Should begin to blow
Just keep your poor head together now
And call my name out loud, you know
Pretty soon
I’ll be knocking on your door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running
To see you again
It’s winter, spring summer or fall
Really, all you got to do is call
And I’ll be there
You know I’ll be there
Oh, ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend
When people can be so cold
They’ll hurt you, yes, and desert you
Well, they’ll take your soul if you let them
But don’t you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running like as fast as I can
To see you again
Oh, yes, don’t you know about that
Winter, spring, summer or fall
Oh, all you’ve got to do is call
And I will be there
Yeah, yes, I’ll be there
You’ve got a friend
You’ve got a friend
Ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend
Walking and talking and everything friend
Well, I said everybody here tonight in Pittsfield
No matter how low you may go sometimes
Ought to take some consolation in one thing, oh, yeah
Ain’t it good to know
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You’ve got a friend

    When I was a baby, my mother taught me the Four Seasons By singing the song to me. She would sing it at night to me to put me to bed. I still have vivid memories as a young child, and my mother singing this beautiful tune. She would replace the word "me" with "Jesus". I am now learning this on guitar at 30 Years old. I intend to sing to anyone that needs a friend. And I've already performed for my mother. Thank you, James Taylor and Carole King. God bless you both. Amen.

    According to Taylor, Carole King told him that this song was a response to his 1970 hit "Fire and Rain," where Taylor sings, "I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend." King's musical response: "you've got a friend right here."

His friendship with Carole is that of two genius musical minds and souls and everything I learn about their careers adds depth to that era of great music.
