EARLY DAYS
Ten days before his 63rd birthday, on March 2, 2011, singer-songwriter James Taylor was awarded a National Medal of Arts for lifetime achievement.
In a ceremony for all the 2010 winners in both the Arts and the Humanities, held in the East Room of the White House, President Barack Obama made these remarks:
"The 2010 National Medal of Arts to James Taylor for his remarkable contributions to American music. His distinctive voice and masterful guitar playing are among the most recognized in popular music and his expansive catalogue of songs has had a profound influence on songwriters and music lovers from all walks of life."
