James Taylor and Oscar the Grouch Sing a Duet on a Classic 1983 Episode of ‘Sesame Street’

In 1983, the great James Taylor paid a visit to Sesame Street, where he and the curmudgeonly trash dweller Oscar the Grouch performed a duet that told each other how they feel. The song “That Grouchy Face”, was an adorable parody of Taylor’s hit song “Your Smiling Face”.

Taylor appeared on the show a number of times, sometimes performing sing-alongs with kids and sometimes with just him and the band.
