Published by Homco/Crinion (A0.1460155). You've Got a Friend is a 1971 song by American singer/songwriter Carole King, which won her a Grammy for Song of the Year. In 2001 the version by James Taylor was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and in 2010 both King and Taylor performed it together on tour. In this String Trio arrangement, the 1st and 2nd violins play the melody in close harmony - like unto the aforementioned duet. The cello, however, is relegated to a rhythmic bass line to keep the heartbeat and the flow.
