"In the summer of 1969, the "other" San Francisco music photographer - the extraordinarily talented Jim Marshall - and I toured the country making photos for a book called "Festival: The Book of American Music Celebrations." We attended every sort of concert imaginable from jazz to blue grass to rock to blues to country to folk. It was at the Newport Folk Festival that I shot this picture of James Taylor in which his intense eyes stare out from the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine No. 76". -Baron Wolman

James Taylor Music on Rhapsody

A folkie with a dark past, upbeat sound and clear pop inclinations, James Taylor was the poster boy for the '70s singer-songwriter movement. He had personal or professional ties to almost all of the era's stars, including Carole King, Joni Mitchell and Carly Simon -- his wife of more than a decade -- and several of his hits, including "Fire and Rain" and his cover of King's "You've Got a Friend," are definitive. Taylor came from a musical family -- three siblings were professional musicians -- and got his first break when Paul McCartney signed him to the Beatles' Apple Records in 1968. By then, he had already endured a 10-month stay in a psychiatric hospital for depression and was battling heroin addiction. That back-story colored his music. The collision of confessional songwriting and bright, catchy acoustic pop on Taylor's early records established the model for legions of folk-poppers. He continued racking up hits throughout the '70s with a combination of breezy originals and rootsy covers. The template has hardly changed in the ensuing decades, though hints of jazz and the classic pop songbook shine through on later albums.
