Carole played a new song she had just written: &#34;You&#39;ve Got a Friend.&#34; JT said he heard it and thought it was so great he literally ran for his guitar to learn/ play it.<br/><br/>So then, when he was back in the recording studio, they had recorded a few covers, and he said to the others, &#34;Let&#39;s do this song of Carole&#39;s.&#34; They recorded it, and then he went to tell CK that he wanted to include it on his album -- before she had even released it herself. She (generously) said, that&#39;s great. <br/><br/>And then she told him that what had prompted her to write the song was listening to his song &#34;Fire and Rain.&#34; When she heard the line &#34;I&#39;ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend,&#34; she thought, I&#39;m going to tell him that he&#39;s got a friend... and she wrote the song.<br/><br/>&#34;You&#39;ve Got a Friend&#34; won them each a Grammy: JT for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male and CK for Song of the Year. <br/><br/>#JamesTaylor #CaroleKing #Songwriting #SingerSongwriters 2026-03-26T14:35:14Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvgq0afszq7s78x4n9892jf7nrlvytyqrp2kfqs3agrc99ec9memgzyrfn548sehcg6tukp8t7wad6t5dfng8x9yj78m445r528xucd5yjqpmqzwx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2cfc5mn3fu30kju9tzngvv6h6ph6865q5lhwjysty489euwzk60qn08t77'>nevent1q…8t77</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I hadn&#39;t seen your post when I, of course, posted The Clash. :) 2026-01-24T02:52:04Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstxpxplsg4gcvd7r7x5ndr6ssu93f8jlhca5sufvhfpp4dhu5k7sszyrfn548sehcg6tukp8t7wad6t5dfng8x9yj78m445r528xucd5yjq05j8jl The #FortnightFridayMusic word is #Indecision <br/><br/>Did You Ever Have to Make up Your Mind? / The Lovin&#39; Spoonful <br/><br/>Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her<br/>And then you get distracted by her older sister<br/>When in walks her father and takes you in line<br/>And says, &#34;Better go home, son, and make up your mind&#34;<br/><br/><a href="https://song.link/2rx708r0kntj0">https://song.link/2rx708r0kntj0</a> 2026-01-23T19:02:02Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgpjk30xknhpwnrudmzh5h4r0xfcrv26h4mnx5wmqfrmpqpmlxa4czyrfn548sehcg6tukp8t7wad6t5dfng8x9yj78m445r528xucd5yjqcse9zf The #FortnightFridayMusic word is #Indecision <br/><br/>Should I Stay or Should I Go / The Clash<br/><a href="https://song.link/7wvbtwjjb9fdt">https://song.link/7wvbtwjjb9fdt</a> 2026-01-23T18:56:51Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8h2paq8ayxq023cupqrym37mdm73r7upywsmqk3kyle8r5lps4kszyrfn548sehcg6tukp8t7wad6t5dfng8x9yj78m445r528xucd5yjqx7vyrv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst65h9ved9sfft28aevdeend7w8m36kzaf0tmkferu22slefkxnyg0z3gm8'>nevent1q…3gm8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>What a nice photo!
