Gorilla (James Taylor album)
Gorilla is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter James Taylor. Released in May 1975, it was more successful than "Walking Man", his previous release. Two album tracks released as singles, "Mexico" and "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)", rose to the top five on the "Billboard" charts. This would be Taylor's second-to-last album of new material for Warner Bros. Records, his last being "In the Pocket". In many ways, "Gorilla" showcased Taylor's electric, lighter side that became evident on "Walking Man". The song "Sarah Maria" is about  his daughter Sally (born Sarah Maria Taylor on January 7, 1974). His then-wife Carly Simon was featured on "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)", originally recorded by Marvin Gaye. Jimmy Buffett recorded "Mexico" on his 1995 album "Barometer Soup" and performed "Lighthouse" during his Salty Piece of Land tour of 2005. Track listing.
