James Vernon Taylor nació el 12 de marzo de 1948 y es un cantautor y guitarrista. Nació en Belmont, Massachusetts.
La carrera de Taylor comenzó a mediados de los años 60, pero encontró su público a inicios de los 70 cantando canciones acústicas suaves y sensibles. Taylor fue parte de una ola de cantautores suaves de ese tiempo, donde podemos incluir a Carole King, Joni Mitchell, John Denver, Jackson Browne entre otros. También podemos encontrar a Carly Simon dentro de esta ola, con quien se casó más tarde.

A Junkie's Lament Words and Music by James Taylor (c) 1976, 1980 Country Road Music
Note: Capo II in E
Em7A7sus4Dmaj7D Ricky's been kick-ing the gong F#m7B7Emaj7E lickety split didn't take too long GCF#m7B7 A junkie's sick, a monkey's strong EC#m7A That's what's wrong
Em7A7sus4Dmaj7D Well, I guess he's been messing around downtown F#m7B7Emaj7E so sad to see the man losing ground GCF#m7B7 winding down behind closed doors EC#m7A on all fours
CG Mama, don't you call him my name; DD/EA he can't hear you anymore CG Even if he seems the same to you DBm7Esus4E that's a stranger to your door CG/BA Ask him what's he come here for
Oh my God, a monkey can move a man Send him to hell and home again With an empty hand in the afternoon shooting for the moon
It's halfway sick and it's halfway stoned He'd sure like to kick but he's too far gone so they wind him down with the methadone He's all on his own
But baby, don't you throw your love away I hate to seem unkind It's only that I understand the man that the monkey can leave behind I used to think he was a friend of mine
