  • fantastic

  • Beautiful !!!

  • Reminds me of when i was young and my parents played james taylor.....its these things in life that are true gifts.....and this song is definately one of them.....thanks to my parents.....and to Mr James Taylor....

  • 2:10 That guy's got a friend.

  • James Taylor reminds me of my father, who is a thousand miles away from me

  • hi :-)

  • One of the nicest sweetest songs I have heard and will again for a long time. Just want to see him sing it live at a concert will be a real day to remember I am sure. x

  • forever in my mind

  • I love the words, and his voice.

  • if this was 4000 years ago this song would be played for kings across the world

  • Impressive!!

  • Wow!!! 41 years later and he nailed it perfect..Your awesome James.. Carol King is a sweetheart btw.. She is still doing mini concerts..

  • 1973 was the year, The Bulls Head Meriden, Piggeries bar the place......I first heard this and have to say this was a real moment.....brought every tape/record....early MP3's to you youngsters, of his and wore them out.......superb......his voice may have changed a little but its still superb

  • Yeah!!! You've Got a friend

  • Very nice song I'm very clillaxed

  • No fue casualidad, pensaba en ti y al lado alguien veía esto. Nunca es casualidad.

  • WIth or without a nice headphone, this song will put you in a state where helping others is a more of a choice than a need. You feel lighter and good about yourself afterward...

  • Get a pair of nice headphone... Put it on 720p and be astonished by one of the great's.

  • a song for eternity

  • Hey listening people,lyrics and music ar so...you know,incredible!

  • Hatethyking, man that's funny

  • Honestly, I can't see how you can dislike this song. It makes no sense to me! It is onw of the most beautiful songs ever made!

  • A beautiful heart-felt rendition of this timeless song. Go JT!

  • the wonder years T.T

  • If you do not copy this message to 10 different videos. That guy at 2:10 will come into your room and rape you.

  • its cool

  • 20 people dont have any friend :c that´s sad

  • ultimate friend-zone track

  • c'est Sublime j'adore !!!

    Eric .

  • I can relate to the audience's trancelike state while singing along with Mr. Taylor...LOL...he can be a reaL obsession for his groupie followers...

  • The dude at 2:10 definitely has a friend in me

  • Lol that one woman singing along right at 4:40 cracked me up.

  • Of course this song has not been made by him, originally, but I do think (in my humble opinion) that he has made the song popular :) )

  • Comment removed

  • @TheFiddlah I don't know who flagged such a respectful comment as spam. Any way, I was also under the impression that Carole King wrote it (also see "you've got a friend" on Wikipedia). Also, before he performs it at the famous Beacon Theatre recording, he says himself it was written by Carole King :)

  • @eymey which was his wife at one time. No matter who wrote it...they both sing it beautifully!

    

  • @lbsickning No doubt about that :)

  • que tema tan bello, llega al alma, un genio james.

  • why does he have that thing in his left ear? what is the purpose of that?

  • @MrDanbloom It is an earphone, so he can hear the sound as it is mixed.

  • Timeless ! Any asshole that doesn't like this song is an "asshole"!

  • This song reminds me of my mom.

  • Música pra mandar para os melhores amigos que temos nessa vida! Quanta inspiração! Música divina! Ainda que os amigos verdadeiros estejam distantes... arranjamos uma forma de nos fazermos presentes. Emocionante... dou uma valor colossal para minhas verdadeiras amizades! Abraço apertadíssimo.

  • prá mim ,é o melhor eu sou uma fanzona dele e adoro esta musica

  • Great song!! :( But make me sad. :(

  • one of the most iconic songs of the last 100 years...dont you agree?

  • @gracemac, that is SOOO cute

  • Now it's 19 dislikes. 19 people don't know good music if it smacked 'em upside their heads

  • Bravo c est super et merci a Manouche ( Eric) de me l'avoir envoyée ! bisous :Marie

  • oh yeah,it's good to know that you've got a friend... <3 <3

  • Muy lindo!!!

  • Nothing soothes a broken heart like the voice of James Taylor.

  • I'm listening to James on Youtube My puppy climbed into my lap, closed his eyes, and dozed off. When the song ended, he looked at me like I did something wrong. So, I'm going to play him another one...

    I love James.

  • Come on we need 403 more i like to make those 19 the 1%

  • Even better than the original. His voice matured into his style. Like Louis Armstrong's trumpet...you know it's him instantly due to tonality and phrasing.

  • How can anybody don't like the voice of god?

  • Thumbs up if you think the guy from the audience that sings the last line of the song needs to immediately shut the fuck up...

  • Magic.

    Thank you, James Taylor...thank you Carole King!

  • How can one NOT like this song?

    He's amazing!

    Sounds the same as he did forty years ago (yes, I am ancient).

  • Muito Bom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Toda vez que vejo esse video me lembo dos melhores anos da minha vida.Tempo Bons que nao voltam mais;

  • This video brings tears to my eyes. Probably my #1favorite song of all times, this super high-quality video is beautiful to watch. JT, I adore you!

  • I LOVE THIS SONG....and James Taylor is the only one that can sing it just right...!!!

  • James' songs are magical, amazing performer and musician.

  • how could you dislike this? i don't understand that

  • Just close your eyes...and I'll be there...one of the sweetest lyrics...no matter what seasons it is, I'll come running :')

  • Mike where are you ? I need a friend ( 1971 )~~~

  • 17 People are Alone......

  • This song is amazing, as is he. 

  • he is goregous oh yes he isss!!! LOVE JAMES !!!!

  • Comment removed

  • wow..... i followed your career, and you still sound the same from the day you recorded the classic song.

  • wow....he hasnt lost his touch. What a legend!!!

  • How can the public response be so COLD when an epic song like this starts? Can't get it.

  • @67jorge Respect for the artist and the audience.

  • @davec3487 Well, it depends on the understanding of the word 'respect'. I don't imagine any artist that would call 'disrespectful' an ovation. By the way, if you or me pay for a ticket and we feel a deep emotion about a song, how would I dare to call you 'disrespectul' if you stand up and show your happiness? Of course, there are people in the audiences that try to shut up people showing their feelings. That's disrespectul, and unhuman.

  • Just Brilliant!!

  • A special song for a special young lady. Always here Sara

  • lol this is in holland (rotterdam - North Sea Jazz Festival 2009)

  • great music love  every words

  • porra! o cara envelhece, mas a voz continua igual.... e a música linda!

  • great song, great singer, great guitar player. need anything else?

  • i sang this when in high-school.. and still sing it sometimes on the way home from work with a friend..

    Mr. Taylor.. Thank you for your music.

  • Its beautiful...

    Thx for sending it to me Jan

  • I have always love his music! Now that I'm older I understand the tones of his voice..and understand what I have always loved about his music!

  • 12 dislikes? = 12 people has no friends.

  • @1783wilson

    forever alone perhaps? :P

  • @1783wilson haha has no friends. :) :P He is awesome. check out his long hair videos. He's super - cool!

  • @1783wilson looks like 20 people are now friendless

  • Love this song!

  • Only JT! He's the man who can sing anything...

  • I love this song it is me

  • This song is a great as it was the first time I heard it<3

  • outsatanding

  • Probably the greatest hymn in praise of friendships ever written. You only have to watch the audience reaction to see how powerful it is and how many people identify with it. As for JT, well the hair may have gone (so has mine) but that wonderful voice remains

  • guy at 2:10 is havin way to much fun haha

  • Ever loved someone with all you are, and she only wants to be a friend?

  • @granbubba1 Yes mate.... God it is painful, when every little piece of her returned affection meant half the world to you... For me it has been years, I have always served her as the best friend I could be, even going to visit her 500 miles away.

  • ricordi di gioventu', grande james

  • I"m a straight guy. Six foot four inches tall. About two hundred twenty pounds. But I'm crying now listening to this beautiful song.

  • @91joelt im guessing u didnt live during the 70s and this may be one of the first timess u are hearing this..this was my music i was a teen early 70s,this song was my friends song... we hung on the corner, laughed , talked drank etc together, this song was our song,,,, you just call out my name, and you know where ever i am i'll come running,,,, thats true friendship and if they ever call out my name, i'll be there, hope u have friends like that as i do , 4 decades later

  • my im just love his songs !!!!! i wasnt even born when he sang that songs also i head him first time in my life and now i just cant get over his songs.

  • James Taylor é demais, tremendo cantor e violonista é impressionante como ele está cantando igual como cantava em 1985.

  • J'ai écouté cette chanson des milliers de fois et je ne m'en lasse pas.

    James Taylor était , est et restera mon meilleur ami et un grand réconfort lorsque le moral est en baisse.Si seulement un jour pouvait se réaliser ce rêve:"you just call off my name..."

  • Se você se achar fora do contexto, com aquele monte de velhinhas (e velhinhos) curtindo, aí é que não podemos esperar mais nada. Continua muito bom. Ou não?

  • James Taylor and Carole King are in my mind. I have saudade. I danced a lot. Thank you JT and CK.

  • The other day, in a dream i was told that if ever I'm lost and trouble,...just listen to James taylor. i woke up questioning, "who is James Taylor'? so i googled him. Crazy!!!! when i googled this named, I was directed to this song. scared, but feeling safe knowing that "GOD" is listening and watching over me! by the way im "black"! lol i would neva listen to this type of music.....no way!! but its nice to know GOD is listening.

  • This is one of those songs that could be a love song from the Divine.
