Every time I hear this song now, I think of a very dear friend of mine who I lost recently as well. I can relate to Mr. Taylor in this song... Babyface does an incredible rendition of it, too.
I'm an African American woman who has always loved Sweet Baby James. Bravo Babyface this rendition of Fire and Rain has the same affect on me as the JT version. Excellent - not just a copy but a true original.
GREAT JOB! JT would be proud. I grew up listening to Baby Face when he was with the Deal. Also grew up listening to James Taylor. Both great talents. Music was so wonderful back then.

Yes, NPR brought me here...the article on James Taylor was a lot of hooey, but finding this version of Fire & Rain is a nice plus. Lovely.
