What self-respecting '70s pop music fan's collection would be complete without James Taylor's GREATEST HITS? Not many, apparently, since it is one of the biggest selling catalog titles of all time. All of Taylor's huge hits from the first, and possibly most acclaimed, leg of his long career are included. "Fire And Rain," "You've Got A Friend," "Sweet Baby James" and "How Sweet It Is" sound as golden as the day they were first heard on the radio. Interestingly, two of the songs here, "Something In the Way She Moves" and "Carolina In My Mind" from Taylor's first album have been re-recorded especially for this collection. Special guests like Carole King, Carly Simon, Joni Mitchell, Graham Nash, David Crosby and David Sanborn add an extra special something to the atmosphere. Listening to these songs together in one collection takes you back to a gentler time when a carefully crafted song was a thing of beauty and not just a product to be marketed like so many shiny trinkets. If you are among the few who don't already own this special collection, what are you waiting for? | Find errors in the product description? Submit a catalog update request now. | ||||||||||||
Top Reviews  James Taylor's Greatest Hits - The Perfect Summer CDReview created: 10/26/05(updated 01/25/06) by:  5 of 6 people found this review helpful. James Taylor's voice is so recognizable, so easy and so perfect. His 1987 Greatest Hits album is a classic - one of the highest selling albums of all time. And for great reason - its 12 perfect songs, all working wonderfully alongside one another. From Something in the Way She Moves to Steamroller - James Taylor's Greatest hits is perfect for a lazy sunday, an afternoon at the beach, or a cross country car ride... just as JT would like it 1.

Came in a fair amount of time. Quick response with winning bid. Like James Taylor Greatest Hits CD. He has great music. Shipping a little too much. Be sure to check on the condition of the Cd you are purchasing. Review ID: 10000000006962368 Was this review helpful? Report this review Like fine wine improves with ageReview created: 01/03/08 by: 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. I just saw James Taylor in concert a couple months ago in Billings, Montana. Excellant!!!! I immediately bought several of his top hits CD's off Ebay so I could enjoy his music everyday of the year. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the albums. I actually had this ablum on cassette which the sound quality deteriorated with lots of playing time and banging around inside the car. I bought this CD to upgrade and to restore the great sound I'm used too. Review ID: 10000000004965497 Was this review helpful? Report this review YES!!!1 of 1 people found this review helpful. Every song on this album is perfect. Every song seems like it can transport you back to a different time. EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE THIS CD IN THEIR COLLECTION!
