Let us turn our thoughts today
To Martin Luther King
And recognize that there are ties between us
All men and women
Living on the earth
Ties of hope and love
Sister and brotherhood
That we are bound together
In our desire to see the world become
A place in which our children
Can grow free and strong
James Taylor (1948- ) from Shed a Little Light (1993)
A native of Boston, Taylor grew up in North Carolina but returned to Massachusetts to attend Milton Academy. Plagued by depression, he committed himself to McLean Hospital for nine months, later moving to New York City where he fell into heroin addiction, but maintained a high profile music career, ultimately signing with Apple records and working closely with Paul McCartney and George Harrison. Clean and sober in 1969 when his first album was released, he married Carly Simon in 1972, and actress Kathryn Walker in 1985, and is now married to Kim Smedvig, publicist for the BSO. They have a home in the Berkshires. The five-time Grammy Award winner is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and holds honorary doctorates from Berklee and Williams Colleges.
