History [edit]

"You've Got a Friend" was written past Carole Rex during the January 1971 recording sessions for her own album Tapestry and James Taylor's album Mud Slide Slim and the Blueish Horizon. King has stated that "the vocal was equally close to pure inspiration every bit I've e'er experienced. The vocal wrote itself. Information technology was written by something outside myself, through me."[i] According to Taylor, Rex told him that the song was a response to a line in Taylor's earlier song "Fire and Rain" that "I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend."[2] [3] King's album was recorded in an overlap with Taylor's, and Rex, Danny Kortchmar, and Joni Mitchell perform on both. The vocal is included on both albums; King said in a 1972 interview that she "didn't write it with James or anybody really specifically in mind. Only when James heard it he really liked it and wanted to tape it".[4]

Taylor's version was released as a unmarried, and reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number iv on the Britain Singles Chart. The James Taylor version also spent 1 week at the top of the Piece of cake Listening charts.[five] Billboard ranked it equally the No. 16 song for 1971.

During the recording process, Taylor also offered to his Apple Records labelmate Mary Hopkin a adventure to record the vocal, which she turned downwards, a conclusion she afterwards said she strongly regretted.[6] [ dubious – hash out ]

James Taylor and Carole King performed "You've Got a Friend" together in 2010 during their Troubadour Reunion Tour. In 2015, Taylor performed an audio-visual rendition of the song at Hôtel de Ville, Paris, at the invitation of U.Southward. Secretary of State John Kerry and Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo in tribute to the victims of the Jan 2015 Île-de-France attacks.[7]

Reception [edit]

Co-ordinate to author James D. Perone, the song's themes include an expression of "a universal, sisterly/brotherly, afraid-type love of one human existence for another, regardless of gender."[8] The "reassuring" lyrics have long made the song popular with alone people needing a heave of self-confidence.[9] [10] The song'due south messages of friendship having no boundaries and a friend being there when you are in need have universal appeal.[eleven] For Taylor the lyrics had particular resonance due to the depression he had recovered from presently before hearing King play the song.[nine] The music moves between a major and minor key, which according to music critic Maury Dean gives the vocal a "sympathetic mood."[11]

In his review of Tapestry, Rolling Rock critic Jon Landau called "You've Got a Friend" Carole Male monarch'south "virtually perfect new song."[12] He particularly praised how the melody and lyrics support each other, and the "gorgeous, righteous rock melody" of the ending lyrics.[12] Mojo considered the song to probably be "the core of Tapestry.[1] Allmusic critic Stewart Bricklayer commented on the "plainspoken intimacy" of King'due south performance.[13] Mason finds that the "shyness" of King'due south vocalisation gives her recording of the song a sincerity that he finds Taylor's to lack.[13] Bricklayer also praises the "depth and shading" provided by the cord instruments on King's recording.[13]

In his review of Mud Slide Slim and the Bluish Horizon, Rolling Stone critic Ben Gerson described "You lot've Got a Friend" as an "affirmative song," but suggested that James Taylor'southward version was too similar to Carole Rex's original version to have been worth including on his album.[14] Music critic Maury Dean describes Taylor's performance style for the vocal as minimalist and folkish and comments on his "star-spangled sincerity."[11] Cash Box praised the "tasty material and Taylor's stunning interpretation."[15]
