James Taylor Booking Profile

In the early ’70s, when he appeared with his introspective songs, acoustic guitar, and calm, understated singing style, he mirrored a generation’s emotional exhaustion after tumultuous times. He was rewarded with a series of hit albums and singles and he managed to survive his initial fame to achieve lasting popularity. He continued to tour successfully for decades, and, starting with his 1970 breakthrough Sweet Baby James, all but one of his regular album releases for the rest of the century went gold or platinum, while his 1976 Greatest Hits album achieved a diamond certification reflecting sales of more than ten million copies. His hits include” Fire and Rain,” “Carolina on My Mind,” “Country Road” and “Handy Man.” In 1971 he won a Grammy for Best Pop Male Vocal Performance for “You’ve Got a Friend” and picked up a second Grammy in 1978 for “Handy Man.” By 2000, Taylor’s first Greatest Hits collection had sold over 10 million copies, earning him the RIAA’s Diamond Award. Taylor was also inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 2000 as well.
