VA - Time-Life AM Gold Early '70s Classics

By 1971, James Taylor, was recognized as the living embodiment of the post-hippie singer-songwriter movement. But until YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND, culled from his third album, he hadn’t enjoyed a No.1 single. The song was written by former Brill Building tune-smith Carole King, who had fled New York for laid-back California and during the early '70s, was herself making the transition to solo recording artist.
Taylor and King were introduced to each other by Danny Kortchmar, a guitarist who had previously worked with him in the Flying Machine and with her in the City. As Carole was recording her landmark album Tapestry, James was a few blocks down the street cutting his own Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon, and You’ve Got a Friend appeared on both sets. King decided not to release her version as single, so Taylor did-though when they toured together that summer, they usually shared the song in a show-closing duet.

The singer-songwriter movement created a new breed of artists, mostly one-hit wonders but a few who proved more enduring. Harry Nilsson, a former computer supervisor at a Los Angeles bank, definitely fell into the latter camp. By the time he went to London with producer Richard Perry to cut Nilsson Schmilsson, he already had enjoyed a handful of hit singles of his own as well as having written several more for other artists. But that album pretty much established Nilsson’s own unique identity, and COCONUTwas the third straight hit it yielded.

Bobby Bloom began by eking out a couple of regional hits with the Imaginations in 1961, but he blossomed in the late '60s as a writer, producer and session’s singer on the bubblegum scene. He and Brill Building veteran Jeff Barry co-wrote MONTEGO BAY after Bloom became the first artist on L&R, another MGM label.

Hurricane Smith was 49 years old when he achieved his first pop hit in 1972. But as Norman Smith, he had been working at EMI Records' legendary Abbey Road studios in London since 1955; as house engineer, he recorded all the Beatles' albums through Revolver. He also produced Pink Floyd before taking on his new name (from a 1952 Yvonne de Carlo flick) to become an artist in his own right. OH BABE, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? was his only top 10 stateside.

One of the most unlikely song s to hit the pop charts in the early '70s was DUELING BANJOS, written and recorded in 1955 as Feuding Banjos by country star Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith (and based on an older traditional tune). The Dillards made it popular on the folk circuit in the mid-'60s, and their arrangement was picked up by Eric Weissberg and Steve Mandell.
When author James Dickey heard that version on the radio, he thought it would fit perfectly into the film adaptation of his controversial adventure novel Deliverance. Director John Boorman brought Weissberg and Mandell on location to teach the actors how to mime the square-off scene between a banjo-plucking country boy and a guitar-picking city boy. And when the film starring Burt Reynolds became one of the biggest movies of the year, Dueling Banjos put the backwoods sound high on the charts. ~John Morthland
