Después de su álbum de 1977, JT, James ha conservado una gran audiencia durante décadas. Sus logros comerciales descendieron ligeramente hasta un resurgimiento a finales de los años noventa, y principios de este siglo, cuando grabó algunos LPs superventas y galardonados como Hourglass, October Road and Covers).
"Shower the People" es el tema que abre su álbum de 1976 In the Pocket. La canción alcanzó el #22 en la lista Billboard Hot 100 en los EE. UU. descendiendo hasta permanecer ocho semanas en el Top 40. También encabezó la lista Easy Listening durante una semana, fue la tercera canción en repetir este logro tras "You’ve Got a Friend" en 1971, y "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)" en 1975.
James Taylor, "Shower the People"
You can play the game
You can play the game
You can act out the part
Though you know it wasn’t written for you
Tell me how do you stand there
With your broken heart
All ashamed of playing the fool
But one thing can lead to another
It doesn’t take any sacrifice
Oh, father and mother and sister and brother
If it feels nice don’t think twice
Just shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna turn out fine
If we only will
If we only will
Just shower the people
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be much better
If you only will
You can run but you cannot hide
This is widely known
Yes, and what you plan to do with your foolish pride
When you’re all by yourself alone
Once you tell somebody the way that you feel
You can feel it beginning to ease
I think it’s true what they say about the squeaky wheel
Rascal’s always getting the grease
Better to shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna turn out right
If we only will
If we only will
Oh, just shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be much better
If you only will
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
(Shower the people you love with love)
Show them the way that you feel
They say in every life
(Shower the people you love with love)
They say that the rain must fall
(Show them the way that you feel)
Just like pouring down rain, pouring down rain, make it rain
(Show them the way that you feel)
Make it rain
(Shower the people you love with love)
Make it rain
(Show them the way that you feel)
Make it rain
(Shower the people you love with love)
Love, love, love is sunshine
(Show them the way that you feel)
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be much better
If you only will
