Imagine not only getting to attend this concert, but then going home in a world that was still sane. We didn't know how good we had it.

@merrymerry7583 4 ай бұрын

It looks "still sane" from our perspective now, but my mother and her friends thought we were in our handbasket way down the road [to hell] at the time. They were born in the Great Depression, had grown up during WWII, spent their young adult years in the '50s, then kablooey - right when they were bringing up kids the music changed from harmonious and lyrical to hard rock, college campuses went crazy, cities lit on fire, there was another horrific war and social mores changed drastically. By the time this song came out things had calmed down but they were still shellshocked. I loved this time, but my mother was usually frustrated by my enthusiasm. It does look downright "Norman Rockwell" now though!

This was written by the wonderful composer Marvin Hamlisch. He was an EGOT winner (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony). I explored his catalogue of music. He was so versatile. He composed the songs for the musical A Chorus Line; the score for The Sting, The Way We Were, Ice Castles and Sophie’s Choice. You should listen to Barbra Streisand sing the theme from The Way We Were.

Always loved Carly Simon. As a child, she had a horrible stuttering problem. At the dinner table, (as the story goes), she couldn't get out the words: "Please, pass the potatoes" without stuttering. Her father told her to sing those words instead of speaking them. History was made. Carly Simon is an amazing singer!! 💜

Carly Simon, one of the great singer songwriters of that era, other iconic female artists Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt, Crystal Gayle, Maria Muldaur were on my radar in the 70’s, they all had their signature sounds and were fire, as you said, a different time, a feel good vibe. A spring day with the windows open, a little breeze and my choice of these ladies on the turn table, good times.

Ok, Pegasus. We used to sing about love in a much different fashion, way back in the 2oth century. It used to be that writing a song was like a like a love letter to someone you hoped would receive your message. Then, it was set to music and sung with meaning softly into their ear. Music and the message in today's music isn't worth listening to, so our ears are closed to hearing it. For a number of reasons. But Carly Simon is a treasure. Listen to the audio for the song YOU BELONG TO ME, which features Michael McDonald. He co-wrote the song with her and even recorded his own track of it. In addition, he was on the backing vocals of her single. The video for COMING AROUND AGAIN is one of her best. And you will fall even more in love with as she explains during the song. Finally, her collaboration with ex-husband James Taylor on MOCKINGBIRD expresses the pure joy of the love they felt for each other at the time. Watch and learn. Keep going and enjoy the music.
