Carole King-James Taylor

<i>Live at the Troubadour</i> This concert special features King and Taylor’s performance celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Los Angeles' famed nightclub. Saturday, September 4 at 8 p.m. on PBS-HD. by Colleen Greer

In November 1970, James Taylor and Carole King first performed together at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, California. Taylor had just released his debut album for the Beatles’ newly formed Apple Records, and King was finding her way as a first-time solo performer, even though by then she was a famous songwriter with a string of hits for other artists. When they returned to the club for a two-week co-headlining run in 1971, their lives were somewhat different. That summer Taylor’s “Fire and Rain” was topping the charts and King’s landmark Tapestry was on its way to making her a music superstar.
