Alex Taylor (musician)

Alex Taylor (? - March 12, 1993) was an American singer-songwriter. He was the eldest child of Dr. Isaac Taylor and Gertrude Taylor. Alex was a member of a family which produced a number of singer-songwriters, the most famous of whom is James Taylor, but also includes Livingston, Hugh and Kate Taylor. Alex Taylor had two sons, Edward and James. His son James, is the namesake of Alex's world-famous brother James, and inspired his uncle's 1970 hit "Sweet Baby James." The other son, Edward, was adopted because of the young age of Brent, Alex's wife. Later, Alex and Brent birthed James. Alex's granddaughters are Caroline, Anna-Kate, Paige, and Claudia. Alex died of a heart attack on his brother James's forty-fifth birthday in Sanford, Florida.
