When John Candy died, Canadian radio stations played this song non-stop for 24 hours. It was his favorite song, and it became one of Canada's favorites too.

Wow, for 1997, Howard’s sound system setup is amazing.

James has seen Alot of pain in his life but he sings like an Angel.
I could listen to him all day long and be happy 😊

JT nails this one perfectly. Always loved this song and it seems to always gives that goosebumps listening to this

1997 was the year I started using large amounts of JT. I got hooked and became unrecognizable when the album “Hourglass” came out. I started spending hundreds of dollars a year to take my parents and my girlfriends to JT concerts. I even started mainlining guitar tablature books. Great year!

JT's voice just keeps getting better.

[routex]

I always thought that I'd see you again

[napkinbandit]

Another shout-out to the sound technicians

[boxingandbulldogs]

Used perfectly in the movie Running on Empty.

Back when musicians were famous for being musicians, and not for their looks or For shoving their crotches in your face.

[uuu]

are they adding echo effect or something?

I think the culture needs a lot more James Taylor and a lot less Dylan
