...gut...
*****
Der größte Singlehit seiner Karriere, # 1 in den USA 1971.
Sehr weich und harmonisch wie immer, knapp schwächer als Carole Kings Version.

A beautiful song, became a #20 in the Netherlands.
*****
Schöner Song, wenn auch etwas langweilig.

Gut.
****
ganz schön
*****
habe lange immer gedacht es ist seine nummer..auf jeden fall ist es die bessere!
****
spielt nett vor sich hin ist aber nicht mehr als eine 4
****
Genialer Text und gefühlsam gesungen.
*****
wunderschöne version des carole king-songs.
*****
4+. Ich finde diese Version nicht sooo gut. Deutlich hinter dem Orig. von Carole King und sogar hinter dem Cover von Heidi Brühl.
Taylor singt okay, aber mir dann doch zu einförmig, etwas emotionslos, letztlich zu lagerfeuermäßig.
****
...das mit dem Lagerfeuer war gut, find´s aber gar nicht so schlecht...
*****
▓ Één van de beste versies van het origineel van "Carole King" uit dezelfde periode !!! In september 1971 had "James" er een kleine hit mee in de Nederlandse hitlijsten !!! Voor mij nog net goed voor de 5 sterren !!! (NL Top 40: 5 wk / # 20) ☺!!!
*****
5 ... Original ist noch besser.
******
Eines der größten Lieder aller Zeiten, wenn mir auch Carole Kings eigene Version noch besser gefällt.
******
ich liebe es
******
Ganz liebe Version des Carol King Klassikers!
****
Mooie plaat van James Taylor. Gek genoeg geen grote hit geweest in Nederland.
*****
Guter Song, etwas lagerfeuermäßig, aber für 6* zu langweilig (Lagerfeuer nach Mitternacht kurz vorm einschlafen von mir aus)
***
geht so
****
Nicht schlecht gemacht, er hatte aber bessere Stücke.....
****
Lagerfeuergesang lässt grüssen. Jack Johnson, Colbie Caillat...alles schon mal da gewesen, und auch schon damals nicht wirklich spektakulär. Der Song hat sich aber über die Jahre zu einem Klassiker entwickelt, der von vielen anderen namhaften Interpreten gecovert wurde.
***
Anscheinend gehöre ich zur seltenen Spezies, welche dieses Cover schwach findet. Das kommt bei Carole King vieeeel gefühlvoller rüber. 2.5+
*****
Seine Stimme ist nicht so mein Fall, wirkt immer etwas schläfrig und gelangweilt. Carole Kings Version ist wesentlich stärker, aber der Song ist einfach verdammt stark.
***
ein idealer Song, um am Lagerfeuer gemütlich in den Schlaf zu versinken – langweiliges Stück aus anfangs der 70er – knappe 3*…
******
Iedereen kent het nummer, maar toch slechts een zeer bescheiden hit voor James Taylor
Origineel van Carole King is ook zeker de moiete waard..
*****
sehr schöner Song
***
mittelprächtiges liedchen
****
geht so
*****
een van de mooiste versies van dit nummer
****
Peaked at #25 in Australia, 1971.
*****
5 weken Top 40 #20 / 67 punten

I really really like this track. Love the sentiment of the lyrics and his vocal approach to it fits with the vulnerability of the song. Excellent track that has enduring power!!

gefällt mir noch immer sehr gut
*****
Zumindest ein "Mini-Klassiker" ist das schon.....wenn schon
nicht bei uns, dann mit Sicherheit auf der anderen Seite
des Atlantiks!

Knappe 5.
******
DAS Lied der Freundschaft schlechthin.
Mag es von Carole King noch etwas lieber, und am allerschönsten ist es wenn beide es zusammen singen, wie man es auf ein paar Live-Alben zu hören kriegt.
