James Taylor on Colbert


Carole King - You’ve Got a Friend

You know, Carole wrote it first.


James Taylor - You’ve got a Friend

But James had a great hit with it.

And though he didn’t ask permission first, Carole said OK.


James Taylor - Fire and Rain

Because Carole heard the line

I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend

and she originally wrote the song to let him (James) know that he always had a friend…

I’m not crying. You are crying.
