Alexander 'Alex' Taylor (February 28, 1947 – March 12, 1993)[1] was an American singer.
Alex Taylor traveled around the states gigging and recorded his finest work at Kenny Veenstra's Progressive Music in Tampa.
Taylor suffered a heart attack on March 7, 1993, in Sanford, Florida, while recording a third album at King Snake Records Studio.
[2] Livingston Taylor has said in an interview that Taylor suddenly stopped breathing while sleeping in a King Snake Records studio and that this occurred shortly after Taylor downed almost an entire bottle of vodka ("what was for him... not an exceptional amount of booze").
[3] James Taylor wrote his song "Enough To Be On Your Way" with Alex's funeral in mind then changed some of the details to commemorate a fictional "Alice".
