James Taylor - James Taylor James Taylor (born March 12, 1948) is an American singer and songwriter, originally from Boston, Massachusetts. His career began in the early 1970s, singing sensitive and gentle acoustic songs with less political and social activism in his music than during the previous decades. In spite of a significant base of critics and musical consumers who dismiss the early 1970s singer/songwriters (such as James Taylor, Carole King, John Denver, Jackson Browne and Carly Simon), his Greatest Hits album from 1976 was certified diamond after selling more than ten million copies. Taylor's four siblings, Alex, Livingston, Hugh and Kate were also musicians with recorded albums. Their father was a medical professor at the University of North Carolina. James Taylor first learned the cello as a child, then.
