Artist ----  James Taylor

Song   ----  Something In The Way She Moves

Album  ----  James Taylor (1968)

Background: James Vernon Taylor (born 1948) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. A five-time Grammy Award winner, Taylor was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. His debut album was released in 1968, it was the first recording by a non-British artist released by Apple Records (The Beatles record label). Taylor recorded the album at Trident Studios, at the same time The Beatles were recording The White Album. Trident was the most technologically advanced studio in England at the time and was in high demand; some session time booked by The Beatles was used instead to record Taylor's album. McCartney and George Harrison guested on the album. The title phrase of Taylor's "Something in the Way She Moves" provided the starting point for Harrison's classic "Something".

Trivia: The album was released under the title "First Album" on the South African market.

My two cents: This is a huge artist and yet I didn't know him until one or two years ago when I saw a concert of him on German television. The song is special and emotional and still sounds fresh to me, even today. It doesn't get boring at any time. I love the video, in the beginning he mentions that this is the song that got him signed to Apple records. His voice is pretty special and to me he looks more like a family father and teacher than a man who has been on tour and musician for decades now. He is still active today.
