July 3, 2023 (Song #2011): “How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You” by Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Eddie Holland and sung by James Taylor.  T-31* brings me to 1992 and the year Peter and I got married. As I wrote yesterday:  Peter and I heard James Taylor’s version of this song in a grocery store on the Upper West Side and realized that it was perfect song for our first dance. 

If you got all the way to the P.S. yesterday, then you understand when I say that yesterday’s post wiped me out, so, today, let me just say: I’m forever grateful to James Taylor for his beautiful voice, intricate guitar playing, awe-inspiring songwriting and his fun, entertaining live shows – of which I’ve seen at least 20.  I am a humongous fan. THANK YOU, JAMES TAYLOR. I could have posted 60 songs of just James Taylor leading up to my 60th birthday and that wouldn’t have been enough days to cover all the happiness his music has brought to me.

Happy birthday to Amybeth Cohen & Elizabeth Repa Shea. xoxo  LYRICS & SONGFACTS APPLE MUSIC SPOTIFY
