One of the clearest, widest-ranging voices of her generation. She can have power or an angelic softness. As far as being comfortable, believe it or not, Carly Simon was suffering from stage fright all her career.
Art Garfunkel was talking to George Harrison in the background. I believe this is from the Concert for Bangladesh, which George helped organize. Carly Simon (pronounced Sy-mon) had several hits: You're So Vain, Anticipation, Nobody Does It Better.
Carly Simon had so many great hits in the 70's such as "Haven't Got Time For The Pain", "Attitude Dancing", "Anticipation", "Coming Around Again", "You're So Vain", "Nobody Does It Better" (from the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me), "Jesse", "Legend In Your Own Time", "The Right Thing To Do", "(We Have) No Secrets" etc. She was married at one time to James Taylor & they did a few duets together "Mockingbird" & "Devoted To You".
For us young women growing up in the 70's, (or I guess I should speak for myself), this was a song questioning what everyone was "supposed" to do, or supposed to want to do, get married and have kids. Maybe there could be another choice and not do what our mothers did. I always looked at this song as part of the beginning of the women's rights movement of the 60's & 70's. Love Carly!
At the time of its release, we were a couple of years into the women’s liberation movement that kicked off in the late 60s. Women were starting to realize that their lives weren’t defined by marriage and motherhood. So, this song had a significant impact.
She still gives this old metal head chills. Amazing musical talent, she can make you tear up, she is so good. Her songwriting is top notch. A singular talent, do Your So Vain. Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
This was a woman with crippling stage fright. She's described being terrified before performing, and yet she commands that stage when she gets "in the zone". You'll notice she spends a lot of time with her eyes closed. It's rather sad that even though she gave us so many great songs she couldn't enjoy it more.
Having the piano face sideways is a bit of a bonus for sure, and I just made a similar comment about it as well. If you know beforehand about it you can tell she was feeling it at times, but if you don't she plays it very cool. It's a great performance, so it's easy to miss.
🥰🥰🥰 Carly Simon... an icon with a magical voice and stellar catalog!!! Great reaction Biz and next for Carly... "YOU'RE SO VAIN"! Nuff said!!!😷 Lova ya!!😎❤
I'm so glad you did this. It was a different time with different expectations for women. Things were just starting to allow women to be something other than a daughter or wife. Carly is a great songwriter - it's worth listening to more of her songs.
You have to do, "You're So Vain"... She rips a former lover for his vanity and for decades people were trying to figure out what famous person she wrote it about.
I agree completely. Janis Ian’s “At Seventeen” was a blockbuster. It’s in my Top 10 songs list by anyone at any time. The entire album (“Between The Lines”) is terrific! That’s one begging for someone to react to from the first song to the last. Several different music and vocal styles. It’s exhausting in a pleasant way. Beautiful songs, poignant lyrics, impeccable phrasing and a really good quality recording.
Good eye Biz! Carly Simon grew up in a house filled with great literary's. Her father was Richard Simon of Simon and Schuster. I have always thought she was as beautiful as her voice. It's a shame that she and James Taylor couldn't make it but he was a heroin addict and they made babies which don't mix. I think he always loved her because when he found out she was battling cancer, he called her and said; "Those doctors better not harm an eyelash on your beautiful face." I'm so glad you liked it! Believe it or not, she had stage fright. You would never guess it.
You got it exactly right. Carly has an amazing voice and had many hits in the 70s. “Your So Vain” was a big one too. She was married to James Taylor for a while.
Yet the fact is, she suffered from near crippling stage fright most of her career. You can tell she was feeling it if you know that ahead of time, but she plays it very cool if you don't. Vocals, piano, looks, hits, and the bearer of James Taylor's children. Such a life.
She had a lot of awesome hits and she's gorgeous. And her stage presence? Didn't do much on stage? Dude, she was tickling the hell out of those ivories and ebonies on that piano is all. That's top level stuff.
check out 'You Belong to Me' a song Carly Simon co-wrote with Michael McDonald. Her version is great.....The Doobie Brothers version sublime...............
This is one of those songs that is so beautiful, yet heartbreaking. Her voice, the tempo, the music are pure perfection but the lyrics are devastating. I always wanted the girl in the story to realize she could break the cycle and be her own person and have a loving marriage at the same time because I was lucky enough to have parents that modeled that reality to me.
Big Soul Biz is really The Big Heart Gangster Biz. Thank you, Biz, for all the amazingly smooth heartfelt tunes. It's a great way to start my mornings over a cup of coffee. You are greatly appreciated by all your loyal friends & Fans in your Reaction/Review Family.
I was just a kid when I heard this on AM radio, a controversial song obviously, but to me She was singing about the reality of the human condition, it blew me away, in a time where adults didn't want to talk about their weaknesses, and tried to pretend they had everything under control. Men can't blame Women, or vice versa, they're both to blame. Careful what you wish for.
One of my all-time favorite artists! She writes all her own music. Try Anticipation, You're So Vain ( only recently revealed it's about Warren Beatty). Nobody Does It Better theme song for one of the James Bond movies. Enjoy!
That was a tear jerker but very poignant story of real life you didn’t see revealed by very many. Yes, incredible voice live! Next for her Mockingbird You belong to me Anticipation The right thing to do
fun facts about carly simon family was good friends with Jackie Robinson who taught her tennis. As a young girl she sang happy birthday to dr. Martin Luther king who was a guest of her family
The imagery here is gripping. See the scenes. Oh yeah, we all had crushes on her then. "The couples cling and claw and drown in love's debris." Love the lyrics.
Great musician and Singer! Yes more Carly Simon! That was George Harrison with Art Garfunkel! I heard her described as Big lips on Long Legs. Wanted to be like her as a young girl! She wrote the music to this song. Someone named Beckman wrote the lyrics.
yeah. that is the great garfunkel. and he is chatting it up with the great george harrison. and they are both in audience to one of the greatest performers of the time.
Try, Janis Ian-Society's Child (1967) The song ended up being banned from most radio station’s. The Smother’s Brother’s caught a lot of flack from letting her sing it. When our Country was changing thing’s, one little step at a time. Equal right’s. Take a listen.
She teamed up with Jacob Brackman sometimes lyrics to who wrote incredible songs when he did right, this is probably her saddest song, how you see it from every angle and watch the movie as I like to say. Like I used to say with so many of Bob Dylan’s songs such as Isis from the desire album, If you don’t listen to his music, you watch it
You might also like Carole King. She opened for James Taylor in Central Park and stole the show! Carly Simon was married to him for years. Her album Tapestry doesn't have a bad song on it.
Actually Carly has severe stage fright. I'm quite sure she sat down at her piano and went through her whole playlist a couple dozen times before she went out there.
I have always found this song hauntingly beautiful and extremeley Depressing as hell as a woman. I hated the message & more so today as the American family is in full decline & America stands on the brink of collapse. Wives & mothers you were needed💔💔💔💔

Garfunkel and Carly Simon were not at the Bangladesh concert,
This concert was held a few days before the Bangladesh concert.
You forgot the song you belong to me ....she killed that song
Carly Simon had so many great hits in the 70's such as "Haven't Got Time For The Pain", "Attitude Dancing", "Anticipation", "Coming Around Again", "You're So Vain", "Nobody Does It Better" (from the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me), "Jesse", "Legend In Your Own Time", "The Right Thing To Do", "(We Have) No Secrets" etc. She was married at one time to James Taylor & they did a few duets together "Mockingbird" & "Devoted To You".
Yes! All of these for sure!
Love the live video of Carly&James singing "Mockingbird". So joyous.
@@cindyfalstrom7231 I agree with you 100%! I can hear it in my head right now. Yeah, Yeah, Bird, Yeah etc...!
@@tammieparrishmiller3669 This morning, I emailed a reqest for this video to Biz. We'll see if he plays it 🤞
@@cindyfalstrom7231 I'll bet he does, at least I hope he does! What an incredible song! Glad you put the effort in! Peace!
Carly (sigh mon) had sooo many great songs. Worth a dive? absolutely for sure. This is one of her mellowest songs.
For us young women growing up in the 70's, (or I guess I should speak for myself), this was a song questioning what everyone was "supposed" to do, or supposed to want to do, get married and have kids.

Not a woman, but I sure understand that!
I agree. The song still give me chills and tears.
Carly Simon is definitely a Icon, great singer songwriter, definitely continue her music, this is one of her big hits until she released Your So Vain
At the time of its release, we were a couple of years into the women’s liberation movement that kicked off in the late 60s. Women were starting to realize that their lives weren’t defined by marriage and motherhood. So, this song had a significant impact.
She still gives this old metal head chills. Amazing musical talent, she can make you tear up, she is so good. Her songwriting is top notch. A singular talent, do Your So Vain. Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
I've always loved her ,mouth yeah. Yeah I no in. I just do.
Know I Know
I know
This woman was not just a great singer but also a great song writer.
S level lyrics, songwriting, and voice. Of course, that’s standard business for Carly! 🔥🔥
This was a woman with crippling stage fright. She's described being terrified before performing, and yet she commands that stage when she gets "in the zone". You'll notice she spends a lot of time with her eyes closed.

Beautiful song, beautiful singer. Thank you for reacting to this song.
🥰🥰🥰 Carly Simon... an icon with a magical voice and stellar catalog!!! Great reaction Biz and next for Carly... "YOU'RE SO VAIN"! Nuff said!!!😷 Lova ya!!😎❤
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I grew up listening to her. The whole No Secrets album is so good. I know every word of every song. ❤️✌️
This is story telling at its best.
As far as this song, Carly wrote the music. Jacob Brackman wrote the lyrics.
She had it all! Beauty, Intelligence, and major talent!
Love the drums on this song.
I'm so glad you did this. It was a different time with different expectations for women. Things were just starting to allow women to be something other than a daughter or wife. Carly is a great songwriter - it's worth listening to more of her songs.
She's the bomb and definitely worth diving in to. She has tons of great songs.
Oh she is worth driving into...and a long rabbit hole..😮😊
You have to do, "You're So Vain"...
She rips a former lover for his vanity and for decades people were trying to figure out what famous person she wrote it about.
'I've got to have you' was the song that I purchased the sheet music for and played over and over.
One of my favorites from Carly ♥️🎶🎤🎹🎼
Another haunting song by a woman from that time is "Seventeen" by Janis Ian.
I agree completely. Janis Ian’s “At Seventeen” was a blockbuster. It’s in my Top 10 songs list by anyone at any time. The entire album (“Between The Lines”) is terrific! That’s one begging for someone to react to from the first song to the last. Several different music and vocal styles. It’s exhausting in a pleasant way. Beautiful songs, poignant lyrics, impeccable phrasing and a really good quality recording.
Everybody had her "Anticipation" album. It was a must have.
Carly is a legend. So many magnificent tunes and she was scared stiff to perform live!
❤ Carly Simon! Definitely worth more reactions!
Nobody does it better is a Must hear
Simon, like the game Simon says.
She has a few songs but this one is the most haunting and I think her best.
I always enjoyed Carly, and the live performance with her then husband, James Tayor, is fantastic!❤
Good eye Biz! Carly Simon grew up in a house filled with great literary's. Her father was Richard Simon of Simon and Schuster. I have always thought she was as beautiful as her voice.

Believe it or not, she had stage fright. You would never guess it.
Enough to bring a tear in the eyes 😢. This album is perfect, evey song.
You got it exactly right. Carly has an amazing voice and had many hits in the 70s. “Your So Vain” was a big one too. She was married to James Taylor for a while.

Yes that was Garfunkel and George Harrison of the Beatles talking to him.
She gave such a great performance here. Carly wrote it.
She is rock royalty.
ANTICIPATION-CARLY SIMON🕯🕯🕯
She had a lot of awesome hits and she's gorgeous. And her stage presence? Didn't do much on stage? Dude, she was tickling the hell out of those ivories and ebonies on that piano is all. That's top level stuff.
I never said she didn’t do much on stage
Oh yes, this was a good one. We got married soon after this hit. We're still together. "That's the way I always heard it should it should be."
True poetry,real life...I know,I'm living it...😪
I always liked the sarcasm of YOUR SO VAIN!!❤
Love her😊

This had to be my poor mother's anthem. It may have scared me away from marriage when I heard it as a teen.

That was Art Garfunkle talking to George Harrison. aka beatles.
That was a tear jerker but very poignant story of real life you didn’t see revealed by very many. Yes, incredible voice live! Next for her
Mockingbird
You belong to me
Anticipation
The right thing to do
☮️💙💙💙😎love her
fun facts about carly simon family was good friends with Jackie Robinson who taught her tennis. As a young girl she sang happy birthday to dr. Martin Luther king who was a guest of her family
Art Garfunkel and George Harrison
The imagery here is gripping. See the scenes. Oh yeah, we all had crushes on her then. "The couples cling and claw and drown in love's debris." Love the lyrics.
Have you ever heard of Simon an Shuster publishing Co. Carly is the daughter of that Mr. Simon.
Love Carly!
Great musician and Singer! Yes more Carly Simon! That was George Harrison with Art Garfunkel! I heard her described as Big lips on Long Legs. Wanted to be like her as a young girl! She wrote the music to this song. Someone named Beckman wrote the lyrics.
Live in Nantucket! Great live concert! She wrote it...maybe with James Taylor.
Also suffered from paralyzing stage fright. Didn't perform live for a decade not that long after this performance
More Carly please . . .
She wrote the song along with Jacob Brackman. This has always been my view of marriage as well. I wonder if the song influenced me, lol.
Easily her most poignant, powerful song.
This song is about marriage and how it may devolve into two people miserable with each other.
Pronounced Carly S(eye)mon. Love her music.
Very influential. So many hits. Great suggestions in the comments!
This song really hits home for me,and many others I’d bet.
yeah. that is the great garfunkel. and he is chatting it up with the great george harrison. and they are both in audience to one of the greatest performers of the time.
Try, Janis Ian-Society's Child (1967)
The song ended up being banned from most radio station’s. The Smother’s Brother’s caught a lot of flack from letting her sing it.
When our Country was changing thing’s, one little step at a time. Equal right’s. Take a listen.
Yes Biz definitely worth a dive. What everyone else in the comments said.
A classic of hers, You're so Vain
Btw, the only song I've ever Karaoked . 😁
If you want to hear Carly's power, check out Vengence
❤❤❤
checkin in
Art Garfunkel talking to George Harrison at the start.
Yes that was art garfunkle and george harrison(one of the Beatles)🤘❤️
Interesting fact...Carly gave up performing because of debilitating stage fright. Not Carly Simmon but Sigh-mon...
She teamed up with Jacob Brackman sometimes lyrics to who wrote incredible songs when he did right, this is probably her saddest song, how you see it from every angle and watch the movie as I like to say. Like I used to say with so many of Bob Dylan’s songs such as Isis from the desire album, If you don’t listen to his music, you watch it
All the signs say don't do it,...and yet
Gotta do "Anticipation" Outstanding!!
This is a great song but i think her greatest hits are "You're so vein" and "The Spy Who Loved Me"
Carly wrote this song with Jacob Brackman.
You might also like Carole King. She opened for James Taylor in Central Park and stole the show! Carly Simon was married to him for years. Her album Tapestry doesn't have a bad song on it.
Garfunkel and George Harrison.
Listen to the studio version of You’re So Vain - Mick Jagger sings back up!
Good live version, but do check out the studio one too. Her last name is pronounced just like Paul Simon. You're So Vain is another classic
Yes that was Garfunkel & George Harrison of the Beatles.
Yes. That was Art Garfunkel and George Harrison ☮️
Definitely worth a deep dive! FYI, most of her songs are more upbeat than this one.
I think she heard her own song that day.
GARFUNKLE AND GEORGE HARRISON
Not a cover, she wrote this song with Jacob Brackman
Actually Carly has severe stage fright. I'm quite sure she sat down at her piano and went through her whole playlist a couple dozen times before she went out there.
That's George Harrison on stage as well!
Looked like Art Garfunkel and George Harrison up there. Ya I think you saw right.
If you listen enough I'm sure you'll hear a song or two of hers that you've heard somewhere. She was a hit machine as a songwriter.
Carly Sigh-mon
Keep in mind this is live
Biz😂😂
This song is all you
Hold up🍿🍿🍿
Okay😂😂
😂😂😂
I'm pretty sure she wrote this.
I have always found this song hauntingly beautiful and extremeley
Depressing as hell as a woman. I hated the message & more so today as the American family is in full decline & America stands on the brink of collapse. Wives & mothers you were needed💔💔💔💔
