I like this version its even better live. Not every remake is going to be loved by everyone, and in some circumstances the remakes are better.
You might not like Babyface specifically or believe to have talent, but he's written the songs for many big names that went to #1, without him they might not have as much as they do now.
Just do a google search for "songs written by babyface".
@kelasco23 You're right. Babyface is very talented but I think all his talents are not that well known. He has an incredible voice as well and I really enjoy his music.
This is beautiful. I'd been looking for it for a while since I heard it on the local (trini) radio station.
My personal opinion is that it's a much smoother version of the song; the harmonies come in great. I don't think that he "messed up" the lyrics; substituting "looks like" for "Suzanne" makes it a song we cal all relate to.
I don't any of you have to tell this man how to sing. Let's compare how many hits he's had and how many J. T. has... That should keep you quiet.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I know the copyright laws in the United States allow anyone to record any song by anyone but some songs really should't be recorded unless the person doing it has some talent. This guy has none if you ask me. What is a heartbreaking song of loss and despair sounds here more like some summer camp sing along. What is it with the hand claps mixed so high up? Terrible version. (I saw this guy on Beverly Hills 90210 and he was OK as an actor; perhaps he should go back to doing that???)
@hoytchristmas Dude is a PRODUCER not just a musician. Maybe this isn't that good of a cover, but he has more talent in his little toe than most of these artists today have in their whole body.
This is so soulful and meaningful to me personally. I have always loved James Taylor and this is a further compliment to the wonderful work he and Babyface have created in the music realm.
Simply superb!!

@kelasco23 Dude, Babface has always been my favorite growing up. He was the NeYo back in the day. The man is very talented.

If you are going to do a cover you should at least change it up some. He really didn't.

Babyface is great! Plain and simple, those who can't do better criticize because they have nothing better to do.

He's messed up some of the lyrics, and the "huh" and "uh" don't work for this. He should stick with R&B and producing.
