"Something in the Way She Moves" is a song written by James Taylor that appeared on his 1968 eponymous debut album for Apple Records. The first version released was in April 1968 by Tom Rush on his album The Circle Game, before Taylor's later that year. The song has also been covered by other artists, including Bobbie Gentry and Harry Belafonte. The opening line inspired George Harrison to write the No. 1 Beatles' song "Something". According to James Taylor's stage banter at The Star in Frisco on 31 July 2017, this was the song he played for Paul McCartney and George Harrison as an audition before signing with Apple Records.
