James Taylor was fucking gorgeous in the 1970s

Recessive cheekbones.

Soon to go bald.

Too moody then and now.

I agree, but he was such a huge asshole that any bone on about his looks got wilted by his dickery.

One of my 1st baby gay crushes. I still love his voice,I dont care what an asshole he was.

He. Was. Boring.

I’d like to naked back in the day.

Great hair, when he had it.

But we were all gorgeous in the 70s.

He looked like a serial killer. A hot one but a serial killer just the same.

R8 I hear ya. I had Robert Plant circa early Led Zeppelin hair but darker.

Years ago on the Howard Stern Show (pre-Sirius) they talked about how he allegedly underwent penis enlargement surgery.

He hit me mother, but it felt like a kiss.

Just my type, long dark hair, tall and lanky. Yum. I know he is an asshole, poor Carly. But she had him at his hottest.

Saw him in concert in the 90's and he does really have a good voice.

Caveman brow.

All those mellow folk rock guys turned out to be women-beating assholes.

Oh my God, OP, he was wasn't be? He was fucking divine, sexy as and gorgeous. And his voice. lol, enough can't be said about how good looking he was back then.

Did some work for Geffen yrs ago. Pulled into parking and glanced up to see him existing a Jag. My husband and a I were astonished at how sexy he was.

Double digit sizemeats. Can't imagine they had to make him any bigger than he was.

Serial killer eyes, though.

R19 are you guessing or do you know?

I preferred to look at Jackson Browne at the time.

That's 50 years ago. Half a century.

That's no consolation now.

Not

Boz Scaggs was also a hot piece in the mid 70's, sadly we will all lose our looks eventually.

Beautiful but with a really short shelf-life

^ especially when you're doing that much heroin

Beautiful man, but unfortunately a piece of trust fund shit. You know the type.

I was beautiful half a century ago!

I've never heard that Taylor beat women. When he was married to Simon he was a withdrawn junkie who was always on the road and fucking groupies, but I don't think he has a rep as a woman-beater.

Jackson Browne, on the other hand...

I thought he was still very attractive in the 80s. I wasn’t a big fan of the Charlie Manson look during his Mud Slide Slim days.

^ That photo carefully crops out his bald scalp.

I hate his voice. So weedy. And their version of "Mockingbird" is an abomination.

James Taylor's version of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas is so affected, it is horrific.

So true about those 70s rock guys being misogynistic pieces of shit. They would all be arrested today.

Dan Fogelberg was my heartthrob in that era.

Back in the late 70's, together they made a crazy hot couple.

Not with that hairline.

A long haired cutie back in the day. He is now 74.

Wasn't the story that some record producer or company had rejected his demo and his headshot, but a secretary or assistant happened to go through her bosses' wastepaper basket for someone mistakenly thrown out, saw James Taylor's picture, got all hot over it, and brought it back to the attention of her boss, and got him in for a live audition and then signed to the label?

for "something mistakenly thrown out" that is :)
