James Taylor performing “Shower the People” at the Colonial Theater in Boston, MA in 1988. This is from a VHS that was released in 1991 entitled James Taylor in Concert. “Shower the People”, written by James Taylor, from In the Pocket, released in 1976.

And before the loopstation there was the Reel To Reel tape machine! Its pretty hard to believe JT was a deeply depressed heroin addict at one point…

Wiki-History: “Shower the People” is the opening track on James Taylor‘s 1976 album In the Pocket. The song reached #22 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the fall of that year, remaining in the Top 40 for eight weeks. It also topped the adult contemporary chart for one week, Taylor’s third song to do so, following 1971′s “You’ve Got a Friend” and 1975′s “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)“.^[1]
