James Taylor – the eminent singer, songwriter, musician and performer of the 70s was born in Boston in 1948 and grew up in the university town of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. On summer with his family on Marthas Vineyard, he met fellow guitarist/songwriter Danny Kootch Kortchmar and began performing. He established himself and began writing songs during his stay.

Moving to New York, Taylor formed the Flying Machine with Kortchmar in 1966. After the spilt, he headed to London, where he lived for a year. After a demo tape, he got signed to the Beatles Apple Records by A&R man Peter Asher, who became his manager and producer. The debut album James Taylor (1968) contained Taylors classic Carolina in My Mind. Raised in North Carolina, James now lives in western Massachusetts. His warm baritone is among the most recognized voices in popular music and his guitar playing has established its own standard.

Throughout his long career, James Taylor has earned 40 gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards and 5 Grammy Awards for a catalog running from 1970′s Sweet Baby James to his Grammy Award-winning efforts Hourglass (1997) and October Road (2002). Taylor’s first Greatest Hits album got him the RIAA’s elite Diamond Award, for sales in excess of 10 million units in the United States. For his achievements, James was honored with the 1998 Century Award, Billboard magazine’s highest accolade, presented for illustrious creative achievement. In 2000, he was inducted into both the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame and the prestigious Songwriter’s Hall of Fame. In February 2006, The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences chose James its MUSICARES Person of the Year.

His songs, “Fire and Rain,” “Country Road,” “Something in The Way She Moves,” “Mexico,” “Shower The People,” “Your Smiling Face,” “Carolina In My Mind,” “Sweet Baby James,” “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight,” “You Can Close Your Eyes,” “Walking Man,” “Never Die Young,” “Shed A Little Light,” “Copperline” etc. have had an insightful influence on both songwriters and music lovers of all generations and from all walks of life., James set an example for solo singer and songwriters as an inspirational recording and touring artist.

James released Sweet Baby James in 1970 which got triple-platinum and “Fire and Rain” reached the Top 10 hits. The same, another million-seller album was released, Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon, giving the #1 single, “You’ve Got a Friend,”. The recording won a Grammy Award in 1971 for Best Pop Male Vocal. In 1972, Taylor scored another Gold album with One Man Dog, which was followed up in 1973 with Walking Man.

The album Gorilla (1975) included two more major chart entries: “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)” and “Mexico.” Following his final Warner Brothers recording, In The Pocket, James moved on to Columbia Records and released a series of critically-acclaimed and commercially successful albums: JT, his 1977 double-platinum debut, included a Top 10 cover of Jimmy Jones’ “Handy Man,” a song that gave Taylor another Grammy for Best Pop Male Vocal. Flag (1979), Dad Loves His Work (1981), That’s Why I’m Here (1985), Never Die Young (1988), New Moon Shine (1991) and the double-disc Live album (1993), show Taylor’s consistency: all were certified platinum.

Hourglass (1998) earned James his first Grammy Award for Best Pop Album, and October Road (2002), another Grammy winner, also enjoyed platinum sales.

James Taylor’s music symbolizes the art of songwriting in an exceptionally elementary form. James warm baritone is among the most recognized voices in popular music and his guitar playing has established its own standard.

Chanticleer – Magnificat (DVD Audio) $16.98 In the wake of its previous, Grammy-winning disc of contemporary madrigals (Colors of Love), the all-male a cappella ensemble that calls itself Chanticleer–in homage to Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales –comes home to roost in this theme album of early music. After all, this is the territory that Chanticleer first staked out when the group banded together in 1978, and the return is most welcome. …
