John Kerry brought a surprise musical guest with him to France to show support to the French people.

Although it appears France wasn't as upset as Republicans were when the Obama administration failed to have a representative there to march with other world leaders to protest against terrorism, John Kerry finally showed up and brought the great James Taylor to sing "You've Got A Friend," as a show of support to the french people.

Secretary of State John Kerry brought singer-songwriter James Taylor to help sooth tensions in France on Friday after last week's terrorist attack against the Paris headquarters of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

Taylor performed a live rendition of "You've Got A Friend" as Kerry stood next to him.

"Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there to brighten up even your darkest nights," Taylor sang softly.

The visit came after the White House admitted it made a mistake when it failed to send a high-profile US representative like Kerry to France's massive anti-terror rally last Sunday.
