James Taylor - That Lonesome Road

[themagicrevealer1]

3 friends of mine and I are singing this in a chorus concert!!! Most amazing harmonies I have heard in awhile!

[Choirguy2012]

The arr. was published in '95. Publication no. PCS-195 and arranged for the Belmont Univ. Chamber Singers, Nasville, Tenn.

[Choirguy2012]

Not sure if anyone said it....this is the Deen Entsminger arrangement of the song. It's published by Plymouth music. I honestly can't decide if I like the Carrington more or not...jury is still out...

[guitar666ize]

I'm singing this song in coro, ( a subject of conservatory of music)

[TheCourier6]

This is a road you must walk alone.......

[MrJohnnyg17]

@TheCourier6 dont call me a nigger you fucking racist

[TheCourier6]

@MrJohnnyg17 I didnt......?



[kylefarabee48]

this is a tradition at my high school to sing at the end of every concert. the joy it brings is so overwhelming it would bring me to tears every time. thank the lord that music such as this exists here on this earth.

[reconasist]

For FO:NV it would be awsome if this song was the broadcast.

And this is an amazing song.

[VagrantNoName]

this is how i want to finish the LR DLC. With this song.

Can't find the words

[keanebeans]

Every year we sing it for graduation and at our final concert. Its always very emotional for us to sing it as graduating seniors, going  out to walk that Lonesome Road.

[julietade1]

[grecsy]

John Denver and The King's Singers - That lonesome road

[bigsurband]

It is James taylor singing. It's live at beacon Theatre

[mrceebees14]

Wow.

[blondebballer24]

Actually Billy Joel wrote it for his daughter!

[epcthree]

@blondebballer24 - The song was written and composed by James Taylor and Don Grolnick. Billy Joel has nothing to do with it in any way...

[blondebballer24]

@epcthree Umm, actually. My piece of music from chorus said Billy Joel helped. So, shove it.

[chiefnut48]

What a very beautiful song

[bofusnco]

James sang this song at John Belushsi"s funeral

[NanaBriZ]

We sang this version in my high school madrigal choir last year. It was beautiful.. I absolutely love it.

[TheInvincibleViolet]

Absolutely beautiful. Gives me chills everytime I hear it.

[tomsbones55]

i remember we sung this song in show choir....sent chills down the audience spine

[kaylamacias]

I get to sing this for choir:D

[kavadale]

Classic Folk - written about 100 yrs BEFORE JT

[epcthree]

@kavadale - I think you are refencing "The Lonesome Road" while this song is "That Lonesome Road". Two different pieces of music and Taylor and Grolnick are credited with the writing on this one.

[CrystalHunter1989]

"I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known."  - Green Day

[ArchDuke519]

This is from the James Taylor Live 2-CD set. It is JT singing with his backup singers.

[roselover411]

doesn't matter to me, it's still beautiful!

[ilocdannyphantom]

we sing this is chamber singers!its a classic and a tradition

[harmonyQsue]

JT cowrote this in 1981 with Don Grolnick, and performed it with his sister and brothers at John Belushi's graveside. The King's Singers version was performed in 1982 but not formally arranged until 1992 by Simon Carrington. The version heard here is probably the same group who sang with JT on Elvis Costello's Spectacle in Sep2008, and with JT on tour. Beautiful harmonies. Thanks, JT, for writing such a great piece. Thanks Simon for arranging it for the King's Singers (and the world).

1980 album Dad loves his work by James Taylor. You can find this song plus many other wonderful songs by him with his band. Arnold McCuller, Kate Markowitz, David Lasley, Valerie Carter are featured on this song. They are the usual back up for him. If you like this ...find the song "Shed a little light" Enjoy!

[bigsurband]

hi all, this is JT singing, together with his crew, live at beacon theatre. check it out on youtube

[Candydolphin]

i playy this in marchingband its sick!

[mtb416]

This was played at my Father's funeral. He now patiently waits to hang out with JT.

[RowanGolightly]

GODS, I love this song! Have heart James and Co. do this live several times. I want my band, Queen's Gambit, to do this cover.

[pedrorpizano]

I've always thought it's the king's singers singing even though there are female voices but I've always known is not them. I haven't been able find who is the actual group who sings this. Any thought on where I can find this info? or does someone know?

-Might it be the king's singers with some special guests?

[IzzyL123]

Amazing song. LOVE the harmony. <3

[fdesignr]

Great video! I absolutely loved all the wonderful representation of photographs. It really conveyed the message of the song. Thank you! Made me cried. :)

[andresusy]

questa canzone james taylor l'ha cantata al funerale del suo grande amico john belushi r.i.p.

[feneco2]

Sorry everyone... this is James Taylor's version, and it's another group (not King's Singers) who is singing here. I apologize everyone...

[gapeach7355]

@feneco2 "the group" backing up JT on this acapella version is listed on the album as the following: (not sure they're all on that track) are arnold mcculler, davis lasley, valerie carter and kate markowitz

[bofusnco]

@gapeach7355 Those are his regular back up singers.

[feneco2]

I'm sorry - bad information... you're right, this is not king's singers version. I apologise.

[sibionic]

The acapella version is a King's Singers arrangement I think - which Taylor is using here. The choir here isn't quite as disciplined as the KS though...

[Orangegolfer89]

Sounds nice, and uses the King Singers arrangement, certainly not the King Singers however, I know that this has been a common comment, but an important one so that people looking to hear the King singers realize that they are not getting the real deal.

[phum711]

This is not the King's Singers. It is a very nice recording, though. But mis-labeled as the King's Singers.

[MaryLand3193]

It's very beautiful !

:D

[YKW2]

It is, and that's certainly the King's Singers arrangement. Am slightly puzzled because there seem to be female voices on the recording; the King's Singers are an all-male group...

[MaryLand3193]

This music is so beautiful...

Transmit many positive energies and it helps to think about the life

O melhor é a montagem da musica com as imagens! ADORO!

It's special tal como tu

É especial just like you

[fragezeichne]

i liove this song. simply beautiful!
