THE LOST SINGLES

SHOULD-A BEEN HITS

SWEET BABY JAMES

James Taylor

1970

Today, "Sweet Baby James" is a cherished signature song in the James Taylor songbook. It is hard to believe that it failed to chart as a single when issued in 1970. Fortunately, it was the title track of the album that saw his recording career take off. Thia was the LP's lead single. Follow-up release "Fire And Rain" became the singer-songwriter's first hit.

This regular segment looks back on recordings that deserved to become popular singles but failed to attract attention and sales. Check the special Caffé Latté playlist on spotify to finally discover these releases.
