    Here's another example off her class she ended this video with a bow from her toddler years and that giggle. But the class act from a time long forgotten of showing her appreciation to the audience. Any young lady's just starting out take a page out of o e of the greats play book show your audience the respect they show you what a class act Carley

      Carly's mother had a long affair with Ronnie, her live-in lover who undoubtedly contributed greatly to her father's demise. Ronnie was 19, her mother in her early forties when they met. This song is how Carly wished it had gone. Read her autobiography.

    Hello Big Man
    He started a company
    When he was a young man
    Handsome, and like a reed so tall
    With a face like an old photograph
    She would fall for him
    Fall for him
    She would fall
    She wore her mother's cocktail dress
    With saddle shoes
    She was pretty and she was small
    She worked the switchboard
    Down the hall from him
    Down the hall
    He said: "Hello little woman"
    She said: "Hello big man"
    And that was how the wooing
    And the winning began
    He said: "Hello little woman"
    She said: "Hello big man"
    Of course New York in those days
    Was carriage rides and matinees
    He took her to a ball
    At the Waldorf Astoria
    He would fall for her
    Fall for her, he would fall
    He said: "Hello little woman"
    She said: "Hello big man"
    And that was how the wooing
    And the winning began
    He said: "Hello little woman"
    She said: "Hello big man"
    You could hear them laugh
    As they danced in their room
    And the shadows on the avenue
    Rose into a jealous moon
    Which swung low in the dawn light
    To see what was going on with those two
    You keep on expecting
    Something to go wrong
    And nothing does
    They still live in the house
    Where we were born
    Pictures of us kids
    Hanging up all over the walls
    And some say he built his empire
    For wealth and fame
    But if you ask him why
    He'll say he did it all for her
    All for her
    All for her

    I've always loved how Carly's mother was open about her bi racial ancestry, the fact that her mother was Jewish and her father was of African descent! She came from Spain which was very racist in those days ( still is) But, people didn't make and issue out of it the way they do in the states. She called herself part Moor, which is really what people of African descent are, Nubians, (Moors was given name to the African people which dominated what is now called Spain in centuries past, as it once belonged to Africa! This is another reason why racism is so ridiculous, as no one on this earth has any form of ''pure blood''! lol

      @@MikeSmith-cn6ub I don't think the concept of hating oneself if you're black because you have a percentage of white blood in you is even applicable. Acquiring that part of your genetic makeup was not by our voluntary choice to say the least I think I'm consciously a lot of black people are somewhat fascinated with the fact that they may have everything other than African blood in them because of psychological colonization. Deep down inside a lot of Black Folk will subscribe to eurocentric Dynamics before African. But my thing is how many white people are walking around in this Society with covert contempt for anything black but not even knowing that their grandma was biracial black but passing for white. Or even a great-grandparent who was full-blooded black. But I think a lot more than we think when they look in the mirror over. Their life, would at least arise questions based on there alteration of skin color versus pheno typical features

      Taylor Swift is a Big Carly Simon fan (as am I). The only things I recall that disappointed me about T.S. is an old lyric I think sounded homophobic, and I think she signals to young fans to seek revenge on those who treated you badly, which I think could end up with danger.

    And in real life, Carly's dad would do horrible pranks to her because of her looks. Meanwhile, Carly's mother was having an affair, and on the night her husband died of a fatal heart attack, Mrs. Simon was rolling in the bed sheets with her lover down the hall and could be bothered to assist her husband as he cried for help.
    Yeah, a real loving family.
