You’ve Got A Friend - James Taylor & Carole King

” “You’ve Got a Friend” is a song from the early 1970s which marked the singer-songwriter movement. The song was written by Carole King and appeared on her 1971 album Tapestry.

James Taylor sang a version of “You’ve Got a Friend” on his 1971 album Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon. The most famous version of the song, Taylor’s rendition hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on July 31, 1971, and won Grammy Awards both for Taylor (Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male) and King (Song of the Year). It also reached #4 in the UK Singles Chart, giving Taylor his only Top 20 entry in the United Kingdom. The song was also recorded in 1971 by Dusty Springfield, a recording that predates Taylor’s version. It was recorded for her third album for Atlantic Records, but a falling-out with the company meant the album was unreleased. The song was left unissued until 1999, when it was issued as a bonus track for the Rhino Records deluxe re-release of Dusty in Memphis. “
