I am sorry to disappoint you 151edwin, BUT James Taylor "wrote this in 1968 at 3 different times. He started it in London, where he auditioned for The Beatles' Apple Records. He later worked on it in a Manhattan Hospital, and finished it while in drug rehab at The Austin Riggs Center in Massachusetts." I think you are mistaking this one for "You've got a friend: which was on tapestryand written by Carole King and later covered by James Taylor

What album is this version from? I love it but can't find it to download anywhere. It doesn't seem to be the one from The Cellar Door/Santa Monica Civic Auditiorium album...
So yummy! James Taylor can write it, but Richie Havens makes me feel it. The clouds move in and raindrops seem to fall from the notes when he plays it. My favorite version. Hands down.
I really like James Taylor in this song but then, I don't think Richie Havens can do any song an injustice. It just becomes a totally different song and tune.
Even better then the original.

My mistake. This song is not even on 'Tapestry', You are correct and I have confused this one with 'you got a friend'
