Kate Taylor (album)

Kate Taylor is singer Kate Taylor's second album, released May 4, 1978. The album included Taylor's sole chart single: her version of "It's in His Kiss (The Shoop Shoop Song)", recorded in August 1977 to peak at number 49 that autumn; the Kate Taylor album also introduced the singer's remakes of "A Fool in Love", "It's Growin'" and "Stubborn Kind of Woman" (originally "Stubborn Kind of Fellow"); the track "It's Growin'" was issued as a single in July 1978. The album's other tracks included the debut versions of two James Taylor compositions: "Happy Birthday Sweet Darling" and "Slow and Steady", and also Kate Taylor's rendition of "Rodeo", composed by her brother Livingston Taylor for his 1973 album Over the Rainbow. Kate Taylor also included the B-side of "It's in His Kiss": the self-penned "Jason & Ida", and introduced "Tiah's Cove" — written by Kate Taylor's husband Charlie Witham – and also the Walter Robinson composition "Harriet Tubman": the latter is described by James Taylor biographer Timothy White as "a searing latterday spiritual" which is "the highpoint of Kate's exceptional eleven song set."[1]
