Whenever I listen to it, I thought of those loving and caring friends around me. So this song is like a good friend to me. No matter I was happy or sad; I'd feel understood through listening to the song. "You've Got a Friend" is James Taylor's number one song. It won two Grammys -- one for James (Best Pop Male Vocal Performance) and one for Carole (Song of the Year). The song, from the album "Mud Slide Slim And The Blue Horizon", was recorded in the spring of 1971. The singer, James Taylor, was born March 12, 1948, in Boston. He got some mental and drug problems while he was younger. But there is no denying that he is a perfect singer. The way he sang was plain, deep and OLD!! Yeah, I'm addicted to his OLD voice!!

Lyrics Album:Mud Slide Slim And The Blue Horizon Written by by Carole King Recorded by James Taylor When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand and nothing, whoa nothing is going right. Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there to brighten up even your darkest nights. You just call out my name, and you know whereever I am I'll come running, oh yeah baby to see you again. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah. You've got a friend. If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds and that old north wind should begin to blow Keep your head together and call my name out loud and soon I will be knocking upon your door. You just call out my name and you know where ever I am I'll come running to see you again. Winter, spring, summer or fall all you got to do is call and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend? People can be so cold. They'll hurt you and desert you. Well they'll take your soul if you let them. Oh yeah, but don't you let them. You just call out my name and you know wherever I am I'll come running to see you again. Oh babe, don't you know that, Winter spring summer or fall, Hey now, all you've got to do is call. Lord, I'll be there, yes I will. You've got a friend. You've got a friend. Ain't it good to know you've got a friend. Ain't it good to know you've got a friend. You've got a friend. Blue James You've got a friend; you've got me. Sandy
