1970 To 1990
Taylor was one of the first artists to sign with Capricorn Records in 1970. His debut album, Livingston Taylor, was produced by Jon Landau and included the song "Carolina Day". His second album, Liv, also produced by Landau, included the song "Get Out of Bed". His third album, Over the Rainbow was released in 1973.
Taylor left Capricorn records and released Three Way Mirror in 1978. The album featured "I Will Be In Love With You" and "Going Round One More Time," a song that was later recorded by his brother James in 1985. Taylor promoted the album by touring as the opening act for Linda Ronstadt.
In 1979, Capricorn Records released Echoes, a collection of songs from Taylor's first three albums.
In the 1980s Taylor released his second album on the Epic label, Man's Best Friend. The album contained the songs: "First Time Love," and "Pajamas" (sometimes known as "I've Got My Pajamas On"), which was later adapted into a book for children written by Taylor and his wife, Maggie. Taylor hosted a nationally syndicated television show, This Week's Music, and began teaching performance at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. His next album Life Is Good appeared in 1988.
Taylor's single, "I Will Be In Love With You," rose to the 30th position on the Billboard charts. He recorded a duet with his brother James, called "City Lights" in the late 80's.
