From "Fire and Rain" to "You've Got a Friend" to "Up on the Roof," the CJO celebrates the musical partnership of James Taylor and Carole King.

In November of 1970, James Taylor and Carole King performed together at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, California. Taylor had just released his debut album for the Beatles' newly formed Apple Records and King was finding her way as a first time solo performer even though by then she was a famous songwriter with a string of hits for other artists. When they returned to the club for a two-week co-headlining run in 1971 their lives were somewhat different. That summer Taylor's "Fire and Rain" was topping the chart and King's pivotal Tapestry was on its way to making her a music superstar. Columbus keyboard wizard Dave Powers and "New York's best kept secret" singer/composer/guitarist Becca Stevens recreate the role of Taylor and King in this landmark concert.
