Lately I have seen several mentions about James Taylor. I know I'll catch hell for this, but I can think of absolutely no reason for him to have been given recording contracts, let alone having achieved any sort of popularity. He turned some great rock tunes (e.g. Handyman)into dirges, and he has a vocal range from A to (maybe) B. I'm proud to say no, repeat no, JT, graces my record collections. I'm taking on all comers here...or maybe you have your own extremely orverated performer---John (not jon)
