Born March 12, 1948, in Boston, Massachusetts,
James Vernon Taylor is a beloved America singer, defining the singer-songwriter movement of the 1970s. When Bob Dylan brought confessional poetry to folk rock, Taylor became the epitome of the troubadour whose life was the subject of his songs. Among the experiences that shaped Taylor, were voluntary stays in mental institutions, once as a teenager and later to overcome heroin addiction, and his failed marriage to singer-songwriter Carly Simon. Having played in bands with his brother Alex and friend Danny Kortchmar, Taylor traveled to England, where he released his largely unnoticed debut album in 1968 on the Beatles' Apple label. His next album, "Sweet Baby James," and its hit "Fire and Rain" began Taylor's rise as a chronicler of life passages. Conveyed by his gentle tenor, his contemplative songs are rooted in complex chord changes and influenced by Appalachian folk music, Hank Williams, and early soul vocalists, were set against his deft accompaniment on acoustic guitar and the rock-oriented backing of a regular group of studio musicians. Some of his biggest hits were cover versions of rhythm-and-blues songs such as Otis Blackwell's "Handy Man." He has released more than 16 albums during his career, won six Grammy Awards, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.

Being in Canada, I was a little unsure of your service but thought I would give it a try. I cannot believe how incredible it was through the whole process.
