My wife loved this man. I didn't get it until she passed away at 50 with Cancer. There is just something serene about it and i'm glad she introduced me to it.
My dad used to sing this song to me when I was young. With me being in college, I asked him to record it for me. I have it posted on my channel if you guys want to check it out and give me some feedback. I'm hoping to post some more covers as well as original songs that my dad wrote (some of them roger allen wade wanted to record). Production will be slow (being away from home) but I'll try and post as much as I can.
Remarkable how James' voice is STILL GREAT. This is almost a miracle, reallly, because the vocal cords wear out. Witness greats such as Baez and Mitchell: Their voices are shot. James is blessed.
Sang this to my son, James, when he was a baby for many years - he considers it his song. Thanks so much for an incredible song to connect mother and son...joni :]
i have heard this song for the past 40 years, and each and every time I hear it, it always takes me back to the very first time my ears hear it. I remember where I was, who was with me, and the way the sun felt that day, what a great day that was, sitting with my friends, at the lakewood mall, eatting a cookie, while sitting in my friends 1968 chevey, George, who is not with us anymore..
@4everrjumper i used to sing this to my 2 boys. after "old man" and "the cowboy song" they'd be asleep.every time. pure musical and lyrical magic. i'm crying now thinking of that time and their innocence. i'm pretty sure they are responsible for most of the hits on my version. cheers.
I heard this once when I was seven, and ever since then whenever I am agitated or wound up, I listen to this I just smile. I will never need sleeping pills, I have this.
James Nephew.......... "James" takes me to work driving a bus on Martha's Vineyard, a good guy with a famous uncle. It must feel very special to be the Subject of any Taylor piece of work.......rock on !!
this song always makes me think of my mother, she was an amazing woman that i miss everyday and i get alil happiness back whenever i listen to james taylor..........hope this song does as much good for you as it does to me
His best tune, I think. I can just see the sage brush and old farmhouses, and hear the coyotes, as I listen to this song. This is the soul of America, in music. So few artists can capture that feeling.
I understand what you mean @09Beck ... my uncle used to play this for me.. i can be so stressed out because of college, or family issues and i'll just turn this on and instantaneously be okay. <3 love sweet baby james. i wish there was more music and performers like this now.
This song was the lullaby of choice for my father. As for many other people... Somehow even though so many people share the same experience, it's still one of my favorite memories with my father. I'm sure many of you feel the same way. :)
everyone needs to settle with these like comments whining about there life...like the top 2 comments!! hahaha yea its good music...get over..stop crying and telling us your life story..stfu already
i first heard this song from my boyfriend. it still tickles me even if me and him are living with each of our family now.. it is a sad love story though...
have seen him live twice..warm summer nights...are the melody of his voice across the crowd where it makes you feel like just you and his music...amazing memories....
If a soul can take voice it has done so in this work. A turning point,a nexus where all that is music flows without obstruction. I speak with the voice of one who has seen and done...there is no better muse for our voice than JT and the poetry of Plath. It holds the suffering and loving in understanding arms.
My son James was born about when this song was written, June 19 1972.
The only son of Mary Queen of Scots was called Baby James because she was forced to abdicate and separate from him. He eventually became King of England and Scotland. He was born June 19, 1556
seen him in glasgow 17yr ago but ... 1 thing he was even better than his records,, 1 of best artists ive heard live,,, lov him ,,, rock on james x x x
It really is amazing how his voice has held up so well. He just keeps getting better. His last several albums are even better than his early ones, in my opinion.
I was lucky to see JT perform at close range at one of his free Obama concerts. He was just amazing. And his voice is still a fantastic instrument, not much different from 35 years ago, maybe better.
theres always one really annoying kid who comments on songs like this saying "im 15 years old and i love this song!" and i never understood why age had anything to do with it lol. i loved this song at 15 as well and i never advertised my age when i spoke of it.
paralyzing voice. shocks me stone cold still and i can do nothing but be awestruck. both mr. taylor and his clear, perfect voice are such a gift to us all. some moments and things in life are incomparable and just must be amazed over...and cherished...and brought out from time to time to be remembered with joy.

he was from the 1900's and am from the late 80's.. truly his music is the language of his soul and his voice is from heaven's melody not from the noise and shouting from hell.... you maybe old but your music stay fresh forever and ever....
Rap and Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift may get much more attention and money, but this has my respect. The talent needed for one to simply take a guitar and sing and produce something so profoundly beautiful as this is so rare, so SO rare. There are no tricks here, just man-made magic. And, to me, when you add into the mix Mr. Taylor's personal struggles, it makes it even more amazing.
@Stoneman87x People who recognize REAL music and not that utter garbage which passes for "music" of the "artists" you mention will be listening to JT's music long after they are completely forgotten, about 2 years from now. RAP is NOT MUSIC, it is unsyncopated, mind numbing, utterly no talent NOISE.
i love rap, theres nothing wrong with a good beat and some poetry from someone hows had a ruff life ... JT is good music ,, but i believe theres good music of all different types ...... if its a good song then i dont care what type of music it is as long as it moves me....... but Ya i love Rap but i dont have tunnel vision when it comes to a good music
I saw James in Sydney during the eighties, he was great. Waddy Wachtel and Leyland Sklar were in the band. It was a real treat, seeing James was amazing but to have those other two on stage with him as well made for a special night.
@cptlaneway When I first heard this voice I was 19. I am now 59 and realize it has not lost a beat. I thought James was given the voice of one of the angels the first time I was blessed to hear it; I still feel he has one of maybe 3 of the best male voices EVER! Doesn't matter who the other 2 are; just enjoy the sound of angels singing right now.
@capnickmorgan he is from the 1900's and am from the late 80's his music is really a language for his soul, a voice from heaven's melody and not from the noise and shouting from hell... you may be old but your voice will stay fresh forever....
This song reminds me of my late father. He was a stoic man with little outward feeling for his only daughter, but I remember him sitting on the floor of the living room one Saturday summer afternoon listening to this song on an old record player with a sweet nostalgic smile on his face. So I thank you Mr. Taylor for your gift of music and giving me one of the few truly happy memories of my father.
I love this so much :) my dad used to play this and sing on his guitar every-once in awhile while me and my siblings were put to bed. Now i like to relax to a joint and think of how i will see it to my kids
My Dad used to pick me up and sing me this song every night when he got home from work. My parents say it was the only thing that could calm me down. Every time i hear this song i still think of that. This song could mean more to me than any other song i will ever hear.

So much hate on the dislikes. People are entitled to their own opinions, so why the negative vibes? The dislikes are mostly just trolls anyway. Besides, what do you care what other people think? We know this music is great.
30 dislikes? 30 commie bastards, must be, because if you cannot feel and share in the sheer storytelling and melodic genius that is JT, especially in this song about his newborn nephew, you suck and should just stick to listening to the shitty top 10 on the radio, because they will soon be forgotten, unlike this musical giant. His voice and his master of the singer songwriter guitar style combined with his lyrics make him impossible to hate on. Just ask the 1770 plus.
I saw James at red rocks and it was the most fantastic concert I have ever been too. James is a poet and a musician of rarely surpassed quality. He is surely one of the greats
Where is the music like this today? This is way before my time as I was born in 81, but growing up on the farm and in a small town I can say I have respect for those who live and to those who give. This is what the world needs, to have a puff and sit and think about what is going on with the nation. GOD=You & ME_Friendship
I agree, the only thing i dislike here is 30 people and their dislikes. though i almost feel sorry for them, tone deafness is real and these thumbs down prove it.
I'd never seen/heard him do a live version of this song b/4...now I know how he earned his monikor, "Sweet Baby James" how cool would have been to see & hear this stuff when it was HAPPENING way back when? rock On Sweet baby james
They played this song at my friend's funeral. I already loved this song but now the emotional connection is much stronger. I tear up a little every time I hear it. RIP Jimmy, you were an amazing friend and I'll never forget you.
@chico95 music can both soothe the soul and wreck you at the same time, it's amazing how powerful it is when someone can express a feeling you are holding within with a song.
Mitico James! :)

I love this so much :) my dad used to play this and sing on his guitar every-once in awhile while me and my siblings were put to bed. Now i like to relax to a joint and think of how i will see it to my kids

My Dad used to pick me up and sing me this song every night when he got home from work. My parents say it was the only thing that could calm me down. Every time i hear this song i still think of that. This song could mean more to me than any other song i will ever hear.

So much hate on the dislikes. People are entitled to their own opinions, so why the negative vibes? The dislikes are mostly just trolls anyway. Besides, what do you care what other people think? We know this music is great.

30 dislikes? 30 commie bastards, must be, because if you cannot feel and share in the sheer storytelling and melodic genius that is JT, especially in this song about his newborn nephew, you suck and should just stick to listening to the shitty top 10 on the radio, because they will soon be forgotten, unlike this musical giant. His voice and his master of the singer songwriter guitar style combined with his lyrics make him impossible to hate on. Just ask the 1770 plus.

I saw James at red rocks and it was the most fantastic concert I have ever been too. James is a poet and a musician of rarely surpassed quality. He is surely one of the greats

Where is the music like this today? This is way before my time as I was born in 81, but growing up on the farm and in a small town I can say I have respect for those who live and to those who give. This is what the world needs, to have a puff and sit and think about what is going on with the nation. GOD=You & ME_Friendship

I agree, the only thing i dislike here is 30 people and their dislikes. though i almost feel sorry for them, tone deafness is real and these thumbs down prove it.

They played this song at my friend's funeral. I already loved this song but now the emotional connection is much stronger. I tear up a little every time I hear it. RIP Jimmy, you were an amazing friend and I'll never forget you.

@chico95 music can both soothe the soul and wreck you at the same time, it's amazing how powerful it is when someone can express a feeling you are holding within with a song.
