Carole King and James Taylor Friendship
Taylor still has a friend in King. They both were a match made in ‘69 at Hollywood’s famed Troubadour nightclub. Last afternoon, they were rehearsing for a series of benefit shows that coincide with the club’s fiftieth anniversary. He reached the top of the Billboard pop chart in ‘71 with the composition “You’ve Got a Friend,” that was written by Carole King, who performed the song on her Grammy-winning “Tapestry” record. James Taylor and Carole King had worked together in NYC, but their ‘69 Troubadour debuts were significant.
