Yeah, same here 😊, I'm not young, I grew up through all the Bond films as they were released - ALL of them - and Connery and "Nobody Does it Better" insta-crystallize "Bond" for me before any other thought when it comes to James Bond.

100% must see duet. Carly Simon and her husband James Taylor doing Mockingbird. This was FUN. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoiwkIVja6Z-fqc Also, you guys should do a day for duets now and then. Tom Petty also did a great one with Stevie Nicks. "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmbMaJ1mi814ftk Stevie wanted to be in Tom Petty's band. I think she had a thing for him but he was married and true blue. He also had a strict policy of no chicks in the band. So they were just friends, and the wife too I believe. But altho he said no to including her officially in the band, he did bend and allow this duet, And in this song you can see how hard it would be to resist Stevies Charms. How do you say no to Stevie Nicks. But WHAT A GREAT INSTINCT TOM. SHE WOULD HAVE EATEN YOUR SOUL. Tom was a no drama kind of guy. Tom Petty died fairly recently and it would be nice to feature him on your channel. There are lots of fantastic duets, I can think of a dozen others, but that is a good start.

Carly never thought of herself as a singer. She was reluctant to perform in front of an audience. James Taylor convinced her she had a beautiful voice, and all the songs she'd been writing for other artists she could do better herself. The 70's really was the age of the singer/songwriter and produced so many amazing talents. You're finding this out for yourselves again 50 years later.

[@Opalbird1]

Uhm no…she sang with her sister first, her sister became an opera singer for the New York Met, Carly continued her career solo. She did not like performing and had stage fright.

[@melaniegm]

[@ChuckHackney]

I always heard that she had debilitating stage fright. She did an hour long HBO special from Martha's Vineyard that was beyond great.

[@dansby37]

What is it with these songwriters and think they can't sing?!, I'm glad Carly and for that matter Carole King and George Benson(though he was more of a master instrumentalist) got over themselves thinking they couldn't sing and went out and did it or we would have been robbed of amazing voices with the songs to match

Carole King is the next artist in this genre you must listen to. You could do a month's worth of reactions at least, using only songs written by Carole King & Gerry Goffin (one-time husband & wife, one of the all time great songwriting teams!!) and recorded by a wide variety of artists since the late 50s. In 1970, Carole decided to get on stage & sing her songs herself, & her second album, Tapestry, was one of the best selling albums of all time!! I Feel The Earth Move is on that LP. So is You've Got A Friend, Natural Woman, & It's Too Late. Extraordinarily talented songwriter. Fabulous voice to sing those wonderful songs!!

So, it's so interesting how your perceptions of the songs change, as expectation yields to what it is. Being 20 yrs old and single in 1970, this tune was impactful. And she's going to give up her desire to explore her own Freedom before committing. She must really love that man. Carly is such a beautiful soul. Hey, did you notice Art Garfunkel and George Harrison at the start of the video? This was special. Thanks.

It was such a different world back then. Women were still so limited in the opportunities available to them, and we were expected to marry, stay home and have children.

Over fifty years later, I'm an old man, this song is just as potent as ever.

I’m literally listening to Tapestry (whole album) right now, wondering why Amber and Jordan haven’t reacted to Carole King yet 🤔. It’s literally one of the best-selling and written albums of all time, start to finish! She’s a brilliant songwriter, who wrote or co-wrote every song on the album, and the woman can play a mean piano.

I graduated high school in 73 and things were starting to change by then. But it was still hard for my friends and I to get apartments or car loans without a man signing for us. Thank you RBG..who fought for women's rights.

Y’all called it! She’s sings on the Disney Piglet Movie!!! Lol!! Love it! Ofc all of her bests were in 70s, and 80s.. she’s awesome

Eventually …hopefully, one female Friday soon you will react to kd lang... she has a rich, pure voice. When you do, be sure to listen to Crying, either the solo cover or her duet with Roy Orbison. Her cover of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah would also be an option, but you could check out Jeff Buckley’s version instead. Third option would be Constant Craving, her voice is also outstanding but the other two songs are better. Jann Arden Insensitive is also worth a listen. Great lyrics.

[@katherinebosse5706]

I have been requesting both Kd and Jann for so long! Two of my favs! ❤️‍🔥

[@tomsdotter3228]

Great suggestion. What a voice k d has!

[@b1bmsgt]

kd Lang Constant Craving should be the number 1 pick. Phenominal song!!

[@melaniemav4023]

@@b1bmsgt I dunno personally I am not a huge fan of Constant Craving, and i feel like Jay and Amber would not be as into that song as much as the other two songs

[@melaniemav4023]

Art Garfunkel and George Harrison?! What was the occasion? Fanboying? Understandable. Cool. She's amazing. Was also married to singer-songwriter James Taylor('Fire and Rain') for years; they dueted on 'Mockingbird'.

[@brendaotoole4012]

She’s a beautiful songwriter. Coming Around Again is also super deep and my favorite by her. Let the River Run and Anticipation are also a gems!🙂

[@abelincoln3287]

Jacob Brackman wrote this song, he was a talented writer. Carly wrote the melody

[@marthalowe1556]

forgot about 'Coming Around Again'....a great one..

[@d.kyrstede8185]

You have not heard the most angelic voice until you hear Enya. Please react to Caribbean Blue and Even in the Shadows.

[@peggynichols1400]

Takes me back to high school in the 70's. Girls were just starting to realize there was life after school besides getting married and starting a family. That could come later.

[@laurakali6522]

Or never!

[@cheryljackson5659]

You make a very important point putting this song into context of the Women's Movement during the 70s.

[@piperpearson7454]

I was going to say her voice was ethereal 🥰

[@kennbicknell5492]

*Carly Simon, Carole King, and Joni Mitchell* are all the *O.G. storyteller divas* , all with equally beautiful voices. DO THEM ALL!

[@karencolley-smidt864]

Yes! Carly Simon, Carole King and Joni Mitchell are the BEST storytellers divas!

[@magneto7930]

Jacob Brackman, a friend of Carly's, wrote the lyrics. Carly really loved the lyrics and set them to music. This really showcased her beautiful, smooth range.

[@jeraldkimball494]

This woman wasn't just a singer, she was also an epic song writer.

[@dianne6155]

yes. yes.

[@DickNasty480]

She wrote the music but Jacob Brackman wrote the words to this song

[@DiogenesDecibel]

Carly Simon's entire catalog is amazing, but especially from the 70s through the 90s. Let The River Run (Oscar Winner from Working Girl) Coming Around Again The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of Nobody Does It Better (James Bond Theme) You Belong To Me Jesse We Have No Secrets Haven't Got Time For The Pain Legend In Your Own Time Anticipation It Keeps You Runnin' That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be Touched By The Sun Mockingbird The Right Thing To Do Those are all awesome hit singles and beloved Carly Simon songs worth knowing. She also has a ton of deep cuts that are even better than her hit singles. Boys In The Trees Don't Smoke In Bed Halfway 'Round The World Tranquillo (Melt My Heart) He Likes To Roll You're The One In A Small Moment For Old Times Sake Safe And Sound Older Sister Misfit Grownup The Carter Family His Friends Are More Than Fond Of Robin Embrace Me You Child It Was So Easy Night Owl I've Got To Have You Share The End Those are all some of Carly's best non-singles. I LOVE Carly Simon. She is a treasure, a great musician, singer, songwriter, and voice, not only for women, but for all human beings. Long live Carly Simon.

[@f.murphy8340]

Carly was also gripped by near career-ending stagefright. It was rare to capture a performance live.

[@annewoodard6803]

Such a beautiful song. I loved it as a kid. ❤️😁

[@larvt]

Next you need to hear Carole King. Another great voice. One of her many great hits you should try first, It’s to Late.

[@gypsyrocker]

Carly Simon and James Taylor singing Mockingbird is such a good song. You guys would really like it.

[@katfitzgerald1842]

She was married to James Taylor...Between the two of them there were so many beautiful songs...the list goes on and on!!

[@sdphoto100]

Carly was on cassette in my 63 Chevy back in the early 70's. Kinda had a crush on her.....kinda.....

[@maverick2242]

Pretty sure that’s Art Garfunkel and George Harrison in the start of the clip where she’s talking about the faces on stage.

[@charlesharris2749]

Yeah, it is.

[@garyarnett1220]

Her first hit... from here it just got better and better. Oh and she sang this with George Harrison and Art Garfunkel in the audience,

Kim Carnes. BEtte Davis Eyes. Oficial vídeo

This was the 1st Carly Simon album i bought based on that song.goosebumps too.

[@robynanthony1612]

My favorite song of hers is “Anticipation”. It brings back lots of good memories of the 70’s.

[@rayjohnson2387]

Reminds me I'm out of ketchup 🤣🤣

[@daviddemar551]

​@@rayjohnson2387 You said it before I did. A great Heinz ketchup tv commercial and a great stand alone AM radio hit (77 W ...A...B.. CEEEEEEE).

[@stevenblock9712]

Carly's first single and the song that introduced her to us.

[@delicatefleur]

I was just coming on to say that it was Art Garfunkel from Simon & Garfunkel and George Harrison from the Beatles but you guys have beat me to it

[@melissaward6311]

I always thought her voice was angelic also,and a little mystifying. Great pitch. Loved her then and now. I believe she came from the Simon and Schuster big firm ,monied family. Somebody like that. It really doesn't matter, she's so talented.

[@delicatefleur]

@@melissaward6311 Yes her father was the Simon of Simon & Schuster. I loved hearing this so much I had to download the piano music so I could learn to play it myself
