A Legendary American Singer Songwriter

American singer-songwriter James Taylor has created a name for himself as one of the most respected and sought-after performers in both the traditional music industry and in the modern, internet-based music industry. His catalog includes songs that have been covered by artists ranging from the Monkees to Radiohead and from Justin Timberlake to David Bowie. His discography also features artists such as: Amy Winehouse, Rihanna, and Elton John. In terms of voice style, James Taylor blends a powerful deep voice with a gentle yet commanding baritone. His smooth vocals blend well with a wide range of instrumentation, whether it is smooth jazz pop rock or folk music.

James Taylor's first major album was produced by legendary producer Les Claypool. The album was originally released in February of 1970, and featured tracks that would go onto become hits such as "Tears in Heaven," "Mystery Train," "I'm a Believer," and "You Will Never Walk Alone." The album later became a breakout success when James Taylor decided to put out another album, this time entitled Just James Taylor, which was more subject to mainstream audiences and reached number four on the charts. This would also mark the beginning of what would become an extensive touring career for James Taylor, which would see him traveling to a number of countries across the United States and Europe. The band was active during the early parts of its career, but the breakup of the group was relatively sudden. James Taylor subsequently formed another group called "The James Taylor Group," which he performed with from 1971 until the early 1990s.

After a lengthy and highly successful career in which he created multiple hit albums and achieved success around the world, James Taylor officially ended his musical career when he decided to take a step back and focus his efforts on his acting career. He has since appeared in some movies and has also worked as a voice actor and voice actress. Currently, he is involved in the production of a new movie that will star Meryl Streep and is also working on a book and a play. Regardless of how long he plans to be involved with the musical genre, there is no doubt that James Taylor will continue to entertain millions of people for many years to come. He has brought great music to the forefront of popular culture, and in the process, he has created a niche for himself as one of the most accomplished and respected American singers-and songwriters-of all time.
