CAROLINA in my MIND - A Legendary song and nice scenery

My own personal memories of N.C. - which I have proudly set to the music of James Taylor's very first hit song (Carolina in my Mind).... Yes, James originally launched his career by recording for the Apple Records label, as a result of the Beatles hearing him sing.... The Beatles insisted on signing him to their Apple label, because they liked his sound so much. Paul McCartney actually plays base guitar in this song.

Many thanks for posting the original version of the song, which features the great Sir Paul McCartney on bass--and which I've always preferred over the later version that James Taylor prefers.

i'm from australia , and to me the song and scenery are both fantastic, i've searched high and low for this song version, glad i finally found it

Glad to hear you know the difference between this version & his later versions. This is the ORIGINAL version (recorded circa 1971) ... But this version disappeared from the market around 1975, because he'd recorded it under the Apple Records label in London (with Paul McCartney playing base gutiar)... so, as a result, when the Beatles music library fell into legal limbo in 75, any artist who'd utilized a Beatle, had to pull those versions from the market. - It didn't get resolved until 1991.

I love North Carolina. Most beautiful place in the world. I grew up in a small town called Indian Trail, just below Charlotte and Matthews. I had the greatest childhood there, always playing in the woods behind my neighborhood, and I'm going to make sure that when I have kids that they grow up in North Carolina. I love this song it always reminds me of my childhood. Thanks for posting this vid it brought tears to my eyes. I miss North Carolina and I'm going to go back some day.

Listening to this song years ago is what made me move back home to N.C. thank God for I got to spend some time with my mom before she passed.I love this song and the memories.

i'm gone too, but wish we could scrap most everything since then (1971) and then we would have the real carolina!

James Taylor, was from the beautiful home of the Univ. of N.C. "Tar Heels" in Chapel Hill, North Carolina!! This song is about the great state of North Carolina, not our "sister" state South Carolina---PERIOD!!! I'm from the beautiful Charlotte and Gastonia areas of N.C.!!
