James Vernon Taylor (born March 12, 1948) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist, born in Boston, Massachusetts. He grew up in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where his father Isaac Taylor was the dean of the University of North Carolina Medical School. His family summered on Martha's Vineyard. Taylor's career began in the mid-1960s, but he found his audience in the early 1970s, singing sensitive and gentle acoustic songs. He was part of a wave of soft singer-songwriters of the time that also included Carole King, Joni Mitchell, John Denver, Jackson Browne and Carly Simon (whom he later married).

Circle Round The Sun Lyrics
James Taylor
Now, I love my baby
And shes bound to love me some
Yes, I love my baby
And shes bound to love me some
Now, she throws her arms around me
Like a circle around the sun
I lay down last night, lord
Just to try to take my rest
I lay down last night, lord
I was trying to take my rest
But my thoughts they just kept wandering
Like the wild geese in the west
Now I know that sunrise, sunrise
Its gonna shine in my back yard someday
I said I know that sunrise, sunrise, sunrise
Its gonna shine in my back yard someday
And that wind just bound to rise up
Gonna blow, blow all my blues away
Hey, I love my baby
And shes bound to love me some
Hear me say that
I love my baby
And shes bound to love me some
Now, she throws her arms around me
Just like a circle around the sun
