Popular American singer James Taylor added a poignant note to a Paris ceremony Friday paying tribute to the victims of the Charlie Hebdo attacks. Sitting alongside his friend, top US diplomat John Kerry, Taylor sang his best-selling hit "You've got a Friend" to guests at the homage at Paris city hall, accompanying himself on the guitar. While the song was originally written and performed by Carole King, five-time Grammy award winner Taylor made it his own when he recorded it in 1971 and it rocketed to the top of the US charts. "I really wanted to come here to share a hug with all of Paris," Kerry said, after what he termed the "living nightmare" of the attacks.
