@Lily Hyatt simply look at her throughout her entire career. She has strong features that never really changed. Botulinum Toxin really can cause issues. Not Carly. Love her Lily.
@Lily Hyatt Because Black don't Crack! Carly has African and Native blood. Check her out on Finding Your Roots. Dr. Gates said Carly is the "Blackest white person" he's tested to date. She looks great 👍!!!!!
@Lily Hyatt You'll get over it, Sweetheart. Take some deep breaths. Take it up with Dr. Henry Louis Gates, on PBS, not me. I'm simply the messenger. Have a Blessed Day!!!!!!!! Go Find Your Roots, Boo Boo!!!!!
Bill, incredible interview. Carly, when she smiles the whole world disappears. I have always loved her smile. Brilliant song writer. Just beautiful inside and out.
Carly Simon still looks amazing and has a beautiful spirit. Love her voice. I swear that I saw her in Beverly Hills last year. So humble, kind and a gift to the music industry.
I love her honesty, her intelligence, and her connectivity to humanity. What a remarkable life she's had exploring every inch of her being on Earth. Wishing her peace, joy, and a tranquility sea of hope.
I grew up with carly...and she has a way that moves you into peace and that peace moves you into that faze. Relationships and time seem to move in that way and her music reflects that.She is timeless.
Carly tremendous interview with Bill Boggs I can understand the stage fright but my God you've had hit after hit your volume of work is almost unparalleled. Carly you must know you're an icon. Your humility is amazing and refreshing at the same time. Your songwriting gift has inspired so many people, touched us all. Your incredible voice and beautiful melodies are timeless. With your openness and Frankness you remind us you're just like us. You're a beautiful woman Carly.
This is a beautiful interview on so many levels ... When Carly quoted James' comment, "Good bye old house", I broke into tears because I could feel a love that would never be fully realized except memorialized as a lifelong conflict of deep affection and regret. 💖🙏💖
The great thing about Carly is that when she's singing, she's totally engrossed in expressing the music and making it as beautiful as possible and she's also embracing the joy of expressing it. And she has a great sense of musical interpretation, so that makes it great. It's about the music with her, it's not about the image as it is with the vast majority with today's new performers.
I just love Carly Simon, ever since the 70's, she's amazing! She is still amazing! She should have so much confidence, if she only realized how much people love her. She can sing anything and make it great! God Bless you, Carly!
Carly is a humble and gracious human being. apart from also being a very talented singer/song writer. i was 17 when 'you're so vain' came out and it had a profound impact on me and many of my friends. she battled depression and defeated cancer, so admirable! these days, her voice is a lot deeper than it was but hey, thats what age does for you. i love you Carly!
parts of this interview made me weep. James Taylor calling her during her chemo. It really helps me know this because I love them both so much. Carly is a gift.
I'm a huge fan of James, and I have seen him interviewed many times. He never initiates discussion of Carly, but when she is brought up by an interviewer, he will talk about her. And he never has a bad word to say about her. He always speaks of her in a positive way. I don't know them. I don't know their lives, so I have no right to comment on their relationship, or lack of it. But they both seem like good people. My wish for them, is that before one of them dies and the other is left with regrets, that they would find their way back to each other, just to have a conversation and take joy from that.
@@PerthTowne I have exactly the same wish for James Taylor & Carly Simon. Hopefully they can work things out before one of them passes away. Reminds me of that '80s song "Living Years" by Mike and The Mechanics because it's certainly too late to fix things once someone dies.
Great interview! Bill Boggs does an amazing job bringing out a women of real import. I can't resist her beauty both inside and out. God bless us all as we age and change and as old memories move us. Your music moved a generation...thank you.
Carly Simon is even more beautiful these days. I've missed her! Such richness of experience, joy, honesty and wisdom. And then there's her wonderful music. I had no idea then that she and Cat Stevens were intimate in the 70s. They were my favorite artists in the 70s. I memorized every word to every song on all of their albums. Indeed, "these ARE the good old days"!
What a great interview. Her music is truly wonderful. The moments she talked about James were very real. I still believe to this day that they had a love that you can never put away.
I can never get enough of her beauty. I wish I was alive in her era and could have met and spent time with her. Of all the famous people who have ever lived, I find her beauty breathtaking above all others, I don't know why, perhaps its her realness. She is somehow ageless for me.
ive grown up with her songs and find her so interesting and unique both as a singer songwriter and human being......totally gorgeous.....so deep and real
If she had been a regular person, not rich and famous, she’d have made a great social worker or therapist or giver in some way. Her empathy is so loving. Feeling is not a weakness, it’s a strength like no other. Totally misunderstood.
What a wonderful thing to have stumbled upon this interview. How beautiful a person she appears to be. It is remarkable that Carly Simon is seriously even more beautiful today, than ever before. I have always considered her a naturally beautiful woman. Wonderful stories. I recall an interview she gave many years ago after James Taylor left them, where it was obvious she was hurt and perhaps not always able to effectively handle the hurt - not just her personal hurt; but if I perceived it correctly, what she experienced seeing her children being hurt. To hear her speak of JT, and do so with maturity - understanding, forgiveness, appreciation etc...while being frank and straightforward, speaks very well of her. I gained even more appreciation of her than previously. God bless her, and her children.
Carly...aging like an exquisite wine, rich in all the senses. I came of age with her music. I have enjoyed her music in all the seasons of my life. I love the way she explores life and music. Great interview...I have one exception; I am now 40 years with the "love of my life"...and I have known she was the love of my life for all of those 40 years! Keep on smiling Carly, and make the music you live!
Frank Sinatra did it was "A Very Good Year" back in late 1965. She might consider doing this song as she has done as Frank in the later years, however she has done even better and could add a line or two to fit her circumstances. Just a thought...
Wow! What an amazing interview, especially the part where she talks about her former husband, James Taylor. I have always felt there was a deep, intrinsic relationship on a soulmate level between them. It's wonderful to hear her talk about him in such a loving way💞
its too bad that in an interview with James he didn't seem to have the same feelings as Carly, he said "what do you know in your 20's?, " its like he dismissed the importance or specialness of his relationship/marriage with her...ugh
@@lesleybronson7020 I recently heard that same interview and was surprised (shocked) too.. at the comment you quoted him as saying. I thought they both felt mutual about each other and the love they once shared. Guess I was wrong😟 as he was dismissive.
Of course Carly loves James every time she looks at Ben and Sally there's a reminder of the love ❤ they share. Do you think if James got sick Carly would call him, 📞 I think so, duh??.😁👄🎤🎼🕷🌹🎹📬🪞🕶💄💍🌞☁️🌈📓✍🤪💌
Her second marriage to writer, James Hart, had an interesting aspect to it. Despite this "aspect" it's interesting that the marriage lasted almost 20 years.It would seem that a sophisticated woman such as Carly who's been around would've picked up on it.
I've always had a crush on her even though she'd probably about 20 years older than me. She was so pretty when she was younger and she's aged very gracefully and cares what she looks like in public.
At 17, I heard Carly Simon for the very first time singing "That's the way I always heard it should be" over the radio. It is so coincidental that a reference was made to the great "MacArthur Park" written by Jimmy Webb in this interview, as the poignancy of Richard Harris' rendition of "After all the loves of my life.....I'll be thinking of you and wondering why" still haunts me with the deep love I experienced on immediately falling in love with the exquisite,deep,sad and beatiful image of what my mind had formed of Carly through the deep and honest emotions she expressed in that song.
Great interview. She is amazing and we know it and I loved how the interviewer openly exposes his love for Carly and her music... there were moments I thought he was weeping tears of intense emotions... so beautiful. Love that.
Bill Boggs was on in the NY/NJ/CT area for many many years, interviewing people. I watched him while a kid in junior high - always learned something much more valuable than what I was being taught in school!
I love you, Bill Boggs. Always have since I was a kid and you had your own daytime talk show. You make your guests so comfortable and bring out the very best in them. I have never seen Carly so relaxed in an interview. Look how happy she is at the end.
You don't find too often people who are born with silver spoons in their mouths turn out to be such incredible human beings. What a beautiful spirit Carly is!
She's beautiful! Everyone's going on about the hair in her face, her hair is so soft and beautiful! Voice is strong and vibrant as always. Love love love for you Carly!
You are my favorite singer, always and forever. Your talent is so gracious and beautiful. I bought your first album in 1971 and I've loved you ever since. The words you write and sing are the stories of your life. No one writes and sings like that anymore, keep that grace and beauty. I will always hear your voice in my ears.
Simon is a lyrical and musical genius who has not accepted her own genius. She just seems to always be fighting herself. To quote The Indigo Girls, "the less I seek my source for some definitive, the closer I am to fine." I like the dream thing, that makes sense. That is all-human.
I love all of your songs Carly! Your voice is so beautiful and unique. I just missed your performance at Penn Station one year you had just finished your last song. You're A beautiful and Magnificent Artist. God blessings.
Fascinating and wonderful woman & very nice interviewer this really helped me, she’s so honest & that helps others, not just her gorgeous talent & intelligence
I slog across the internet like this enormous island of plastic junk in the ocean, and then I stumble into this beautiful jem. Wow, what a beautiful interview. . Blown away. So many great moments. He said he was "haunted" by "That's The Way I Always Heard it Should Be". So was I. Back in 1974, every guy wanted to marry Carly Simon. And today............wheew.
I LOVE Carly!!! SHE IS SO REAL! FROM HER INTELLECT, BIG BEAUTIFUL SMILE TO THE LIGHT THAT DANCES IN HER EYES! THANK HEAVENS! SHE'S MY ( PRETTIER) SISTER!!
The definitive retrospective Carly Simon interview for those of us of a certain age! I have followed her throughout her career weaving her music into the fabric of our lives. A pure and honest singer, musician and songwriter coupled with intelligence and incredible beauty! For me from the first time I had seen her perform she was the whole package. Read her book Boys in trees to learn a bit more about her incredible life's journey.
Carley, what a gem of a lady. Her lyrics fit my soul. Here is an example of a lady who is at home in my most inner self. Carley, has also pulled me through many low times and made my high times richer. Funny thing really, all I can do is to buy her music and to applaud her in a blog like this. Funny thing though, we search for such people. Knowing that this person is one of a kind. Keep up the passion and dont change Carley.
I began to adore Carly S. when I was 14, couldn't understand the text of "You're so vain" as a German but knew what she was singing about by feeling. She is still my star******, nearly 50 years later, she is such an amazing person, so wise and clear and honest - and beautiful-
I've been listening to Carly for almost 50 years and before I saw this video I was listening to "Anticipation" and thinking, I know why this woman is so damn gorgeous. It's her mile wide real smile, and her naked romantic honesty in her music. You listen to her music and you're hearing a real loving human heart that will never give up believing in love. ...and then I heard this interview... and I know it's true.
Amazing interview....so many beautiful poetic and insightful conversations....You are an amazing conscious being Carly Simon who's voice and Soul enhances our planet. I loved you when I was a teenager as you spoke my truth through your songs like I could not articulate then....and you continue to do so.....year after year ...moment after moment as time ticks on. Thank you for all that you give from the depths of your being.
Wow what a lady followed her career for years she is so humble saying she still loves james sad he doesn't talk to her or visits Ben's house and considers the vineyards her island i sang her songs in jail interstate shwer the guards piped in her songs for me the big thing is your so vain about the great Ted kenndy
Carly could be a professor of philosophy at any great institution. This interview is so awesome for me. I have thought the same about dreams and wanting to stay in them. I love her voice and how she thinks and speaks. In the way she talks about other people is a lesson to be learned by us all. It is some of the gifts of my life that Carly, James Taylor and Carol King have been in it. I love this interview!
Carly, ive loved you and have been playing your songs on piano for decades!! Bill, what can i say.... yr a beautiful man inside and out! To see you emote the way you did just made me want to hug you!! You dont find many men ( or at least i haven't) that are that secure within themselves to be able to outwardly express it!! Peace and much love to you both and a TOTALLY BLESSED 2020 ernie 😍🌹
Carley Simon makes me feel that my life is incomplete without knowing her personally . Very few women are so open and I cherish open honesty . Women in general are very self conscience around men who adore them . Here's to you Carley and I wish we knew each other .
Good stuff... hardest working lady in honesty. Musical story teller. Lyrical artist. Songs that bring years of happiness and tears.God Bless Carly Simon.
Awesome interview 💕I love this woman, A female soul of inspiration through the years to watch grow with and respect. Thank you so much for sharing your honesty through music and self expression🤗
Love love love this interview. Just finished reading boys in the trees! Wow! Carly is just an amazing woman and I agree with so many of these reviews. She is just the definition of REAL. Such natural beauty!!! She touches my heart to the core!
Many men fall in love with very real, honest, talented and educated women...they’ll love her passionately for years and then shit talk her down the road. Not because she ever did anything wrong, but precisely because she didn’t do anything wrong...and because they couldn’t match (in their minds) what she brought to the table. I’ve noticed this trend in her life. Her men either pretend she no longer exists (JT) or they write salacious things in a book. I feel bad because she deserves remembrance. Women like her should not be punished because the men in their pasts were not able to evolve. You can’t punish a woman just because you once loved her.
That's a profound comment and very true. What they once were attracted to, becomes intimidation. They find you bc you have qualities that they cannot express--and they try and keep up, but inside they are an empty shell.. Then they resent the fact that you are so free with your feelings bc they pretend they have none..bc the feelings they do have are too painful.
Agreed, especially apt regarding CS and James Taylor. But her second husband (who she met in unpromising circumstances, on a train) took every benefit her love, loyalty, wealth and status gave him, while hiding his homosexuality from her. She discovered he was trawling gay dating websites and was heartbroken. That's just a fraudulent shitbag who had no business marrying any woman, least of all the great Carly Simon!
glamdolly20 glamdolly20 I totally forgot that the second husband came out as gay. I’m just glad she’s had such a longterm, successful relationship with her now-boyfriend. I feel so silly for how much it bothers me (the way men treated her). 😂 I’m actually pretty young, but my mom always played her albums and I was so taken by Carly’s voice and honesty. It was only when I got older that my mom told me how JT did her so dirty...and ever since then, every few years I google her name just to make sure that whoever she’s with is worthy of her. 💁🏻♀️
I love Carly Simon! Despite all these many decades later, she is so very talented. Carly has kept it going for so long! I am glad that she includes her wonderful children in her new music.
If you want to really find out something about someone [especially celebrities], then go with this format and interviewer. Excellent interview and felt I learned even more about Carly. Mr. Boggs take a bow!
Really miss Carly's face, music and high spirit. Once she was no longer a money maker for the central bankers they just shoved her aside and moved on. She has a touch of everyone's soul in her heart and reminds us we all have the same roots in our hearts as well.
