Timeline

1947

He was the fourth of five children, his siblings being Alex (1947–1993), James (born 1948), Kate (born 1949), and Hugh (born 1952).

At an early age, Taylor built a repertoire of folk songs.

"From his high chair in the kitchen, little Liv memorized the radio jingle for snuff, chanting 'If your snuff's too strong, it wrong. Get Tuberose.'" His mother, Trudy, recounted that Taylor "was always inventing things".

"He and James would make a stringed instrument out of a gourd, or a gut-bucket bass from a broom pole and a washtub, or a flute out of a garden hose, or drums out of cans."

Family sing-a-longs took place as a way for Trudy to pass the time while her husband was away.

During those early family musical performances, James played cello, Alex played violin, Kate dulcimer, and Livingston banjo.

As recounted by James, "We sang African songs, union songs, folk hymns and radio jingles. Lead Belly, Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie and The Weavers were the records we most listened to. It was their mother, Trudy, who was the catalyst for the children to create their own songs. One day while in the kitchen, she held up a can of vegetables saying: "Why don't you invent an ad jingle about this can of food?" "Alex, James, and Livingston took up their banjo, cello and harmonica and began to improvise some musical sloganeering as Kate and Trudy joined in." These impromptu performances were christened the "kitchen concerts" by Trudy. They would continue until the children were old enough to leave home for their secondary education at boarding schools.

When Livingston was eight, his mother took him and his siblings to Europe, crossing the Atlantic on the New Amsterdam.

Their father, Ike, met them in Europe and they all returned home on the Ile De France.

Taylor credits his eldest brother, Alex, for inspiring him, at age 13, to be a musician after Alex returned home one evening having earned $20 performing at a fraternity party.

Livingston picked up the guitar and became quite accomplished by age 17.

1950

Livingston Taylor (born November 21, 1950) is an American singer-songwriter and folk musician.

Born in Boston and raised in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, he is the brother of singer-songwriter James Taylor, singer-songwriter Kate Taylor, singer Alex Taylor, and innkeeper and singer Hugh Taylor.

Taylor is most notable for his Billboard hits "I Will Be In Love With You", "First Time Love", and "I'll Come Running".

He continues to perform nationally and internationally, and has collaborated with Linda Ronstadt, Jimmy Buffett, Jethro Tull, and his brother James Taylor.

The Taylor family started vacationing on Martha's Vineyard in the early 1950s, and Livingston has spent every summer there.

1963

His parents bought a home there in 1963, and in 1977 Livingston purchased his own 300-square-foot home for $111,000.

He refers to the small home as "The Camp".

Taylor began playing music in public for pay in 1963.

In Chapel Hill, he was part of a folk trio with guitarist Paul Collins and singer Kim Packer.

They covered hits by The Kingston Trio and Peter, Paul and Mary.

In junior high he was in a rock group for a short period of time.

1966

His first serious attempt at songwriting came in 1966 while he was completing his secondary school education at McLean's Arlington School.

He says that that first song, "I'm Searching for a Miracle", was "terrible", but his second attempt, a song titled "Good Friends", became part of his folk setlist for the next four decades.

1968

In 1968, Manny Greenhill, who had managed Joan Baez for a time, got him a booking at a YMCA in Worcester, which led to some shows at Boston University.

It was during one of those shows at BU that he had the opportunity to open for Joni Mitchell.

Around this time, Jon Landau suggested to Taylor that he approach the Macon, Georgia-based Capricorn Records founded by Phil Walden and Jerry Wexler.

1970

Taylor was one of the first artists to sign with Capricorn Records in 1970.

Landau gathered session players Pete Carr (guitar), Paul Hornsby (keyboards), Robert Popwell (bass) and Johnny Sandlin (drums).

"We made a lot of the album in Macon, and then we came up to Boston to finish off a few vocals...and then we mixed it in Detroit because Jon was recording an album with a group called MC5."

Taylor's debut album, Livingston Taylor, was produced by Landau (who would later produce Bruce Springsteen) and included the song "Carolina Day".

"Carolina Day" peaked at No. 93 on the Billboard Top-100 chart.

The debut album included ten originals written by Taylor and one cover: "Six Days on the Road" penned by Earl Greene and Carl Montgomery.

By 1970 Taylor's parents, Ike and Trudy, were legally separated.

Several of the Taylor children moved north from North Carolina.

Livingston and his then-girlfriend Margaret "Maggie" Shea moved into a cottage in Weston, Massachusetts.

1989

He has been a faculty member at Berklee College of Music since 1989.

Taylor was born to parents Isaac M. "Ike" Taylor and Gertrude "Trudy" Taylor in Boston, Massachusetts.

He grew up in North Carolina when his father, a physician, accepted a position at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

His mother had been a student at the Music Conservatory in Boston.
