Livingston Taylor's musical career has been marked by numerous highs and lows. The younger brother of folk-pop superstar James Taylor, Taylor has had a more modest career. His best selling single, "I Will Be In Love With You," went no higher than the thirtieth position on the Billboard charts, while his last Top 40 single, "First Time Love," was released in 1980. Taylor's exuberant personality and warm charm as a performer has allowed him to maintain a busy concert schedule.



Taylor was the third of five children born to Dr. Isaac Taylor, a member of a prominent southern family, and, his wife, Trudy, a lyric soprano vocalists whose roots lie in the established families of New England. Although born in a suburb of Boston, Taylor was raised in Chapel Hill, North Carolina after his father accepted a position as dean of a medical school.
