You've Got A Friend

Barbra Streisand All songs A–Z

This 1971 song was originally written and recorded by Carole King for her second studio album Tapestry. James Taylor also recorded a notable rendition featuring backing vocals by Joni Mitchell for his album Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon. Taylor's version was released as a single in 1971 and achieved significant commercial success, reaching the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number four on the UK Singles Chart. Both versions were created simultaneously that year with some overlapping musicians involved.
