Classic Sesame Street - James Taylor sings "Up On The Roof"



Uploaded by: sawing14s
Video Description:
(Because I know we're all tired of the Jellyman Kelly clip which they played 1000x ...) James Taylor sings his hit single from 1979. IMO this great track should have been included on the LP "The Stars Come Out on Sesame Street" - or any SS album, for that matter.

Yes, absolutely - amen for Leland Sklar.
Likewise for Kootch and Waddy... What a great group (only miss Russ Kunkel on drums.) I was wondering why Waddy leans down at the end, and then I see that he's getting his guitar near the cabinet to pull a nice feedback sustain on the C note that rides over the final F chord...
