“I like either very fine food or very junky food—pommes de terres soufflées and steak Diane or a great Nathan’s hot dog and French fries. I probably celebrated with French fries.”

In honor of Taylor comparing her friendship with Ed to the friendship of Carole King and James Taylor, here they are performing You’ve Got A Friend together in 1971.

James Taylor: I would say that Carole had the most effect on me. All three of those remarkable talents had a profound impact. I had a deep musical conversation with all of them. We shared a musical language. It’s a lovely thing to do. To share music like that is an extremely deep connection. It has meant a lot. But I think that Carole and I, we played in each other’s bands and on each other’s albums. That’s true of Joni and Carly too, but Carole was there in my band with me. We were never a romantic couple, we were never intimately involved, but musically we were really close. That’s something that I wouldn’t trade for anything. It was pretty wonderful working with Carole.

Stereogum: I learned from the Howard Stern interview that Carole wrote “You’ve Got A Friend” in response to that “Fire And Rain” line “I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend.” I thought that was touching. I’ve loved both of those songs for my entire life and never made that connection.
