Aug 18, 2023 · James Taylor is obviously a famous musician of some renown, but his younger siblings, Kate Taylor and Livingston Taylor, have both released plenty of work. The older Taylor brother, Alex, was also a singer-songwriter, releasing half a dozen albums through the '70s and '80s, until his career and life were cut short with his death in 1993 in his late 40s.
