"I Was Only Telling a Lie" or "If I Keep My Heart Out of Sight" From "JT" are two of my favorites.
I’ll go with:

But, -Live at the Troubadour- with Carole King is my ALL TIME favorite CD/streaming album!!
(and Mockingbird with Carly Simon)
Call on me, people! I’ll come running!

Fire and Rain, How Sweet It Is, Carolina In My Mind, Shower the People
Carolina in my mind is a song that plays in my head often.
Also Marvin Gaye
“Sweet Potato Pie”
Also Ray Charles
James Taylor loves blues and R&B music.
Last sing on the Mudslide Slim Album.

Thanks for putting Fire & Rain on loop in my head 😉

Also, I loved him playing "Jellyman Kelly" on Sesame Street.
The second was “Sweet Baby James.”
