Carly Simon - Boys in the Trees - Full Talk!!! 

PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHANNEL SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO BRING YOU INTERVIEWS LIKE THIS ONE, AND KEEP YOU UPDATED ON NEW VIDEOS WE POST. THANK YOU.

It's time for Carly Simon to be in the R&R Hall of Fame!

I was thinking how lucky her kids were to have her for their mother. And the daughter said it before it was over. I think Carly is a national treasure. Beautiful soul and beautiful lady.

Legend with honesty, openness, talent and a great smile😊

Such an amazing artists. One of a kind, no one like her ever. Her music will live for ever.

I met and intereactted Carly a few times in the '90s when I worked for photographer, Lynn Goldsmith. She's one of the nicest, coolest, most enlightened people one could ever meet. Long may she reign!

Hearing Carly tell her experiences at home, with heartache of her father…just goes to show that no matter what “position” or “privileges” you might view people having in life, everyone has struggles. Families endure struggles.

If you never had to struggle you'd never know your strength!!!😊

Gorgeous woman. National treasure ❤❤❤.

Thank you Carly for a life of wonderful words and enjoyable music.

I read that book in one sitting I was in the hospital at the time and I skipped physical therapy that day😂 I loved it. I just started reading her book on Jackie. She’s a great novelist. I have given both my grandkids the children’s book she wrote. She a fantastic singer, songwriter and novelist. Reading her books makes you feel as if you know her💞 I love and respect her so much 💐🌻🌹🌈💖

Carly is brilliant! Love her ❣️🥰🎶

Excellent book! ❤ Carly ❤

Carly Simon is massively under-rated as a songwriter. There's a song called What Has She Got on her My Romance album - a collection of standards by the likes of Rodgers & Hart and Styne/Cahn. The lyrics are so elegant and sophisticated that at first you just assume it's one of the lesser known classics from The Great American Songbook. Perhaps Gershwin. Or Cy Coleman. Then you realise it's a Carly Simon song - and she's slipped it in among the classics, probably knowing that her brilliance will go largely unnoticed .

This comment is not about this video, but a pasted comment from another video. From her live performance of "The Stuff That Dreams are Made of", her concert at Martha's Vineyard, and I wanted to share it here: Totally underappreciated. This song captures people in their moment and provokes an authentic sense of self, and comforts the souls and inspires us to appreciate the richness of the here and now. The song and the singer are two beautiful blessings to the world. What an amazing song and talent. Let's not forget the musicians that complimented her songs with the perfect energy and ambiance, bravo, bravo, bravo. I found myself coming back to this song over and over, I see now, because it haves a healing purpose and grounds you in a way that is necessary, and even though the song is timeless, I especially like that it takes me back to my childhood. I applaud this song from the mountain tops and praise her work as undeniably genius and unforgettable.

Carly, an amazing writer and singer. Expression of emotions that touch those you can relate. I do remember how deeply her book Boys in the Trees touched me. She's a very descriptive writer and romantic. I love her giving so much of herself in her book and forever thankful for her music and songs she sang with so much ❤ and passion.

Her 1st album was all i listened to then (high school) - enlightening!. I find that our lives paralleled in many emotional ways.

What an incredible treat. Thank you to all involved. This is a WOW!

So glad I found this. I listen to Carly narrate the book on a car trip I took with my mom. It was really special for us to listen together. If I could ask Carly a question, it would be hard to narrow down which one, but the big one is why doesn’t James talk to her anymore? I, too, am divorced and have one grown son w my ex. I so want to esa in friends and am always the one making the effort. He is nothing but courteous and civil. I am lucky in that he still communicates. But I want so much for him to initiate communication. Anyway, I wrote Carly a letter recently and I am hoping to hear back from her. I think I will reread the book now that I have seen this wonderful conversation. Thank you. ❤

There are millions of us who love you Carly

I bet she’s a wonderful mom. God bless her.

Wow 😮 I just loved hearing Carly read her words to me ❣️

Wow. I'm watching this 5 years later. It's a wonderful documentation of historical significance because Carly Simon is a beloved singer and an important artist. Her singing voice is unique and incredible. She is also a very interesting person. This is a real gem of a video. The sound quality is good. The visual could have been more close up. But it was a wonderful event and I'm deeply grateful it was captured for posterity, as it should be with things so that many, many people can derive from it other than just those lucky enough to be in the room at those moments in time. I love how Sally honored her mother at the end. She could have said even more. Carly is so authentic. She has big honesty genes that just can't be transmuted. I'm so glad she left that first editor. Carly seems to have so much pain about James Taylor but I'm sure deep down inside he loves her. The audience member comments added so much to the proceedings. This was a wonderful capturing of Carly Simon. I loved how Carly cried. The writing in her book is beautiful. I am going to go buy the book. It was great to hear Carly speak of her mother so lovingly, despite all the complexities. This video is a treasure.

Carly Simon is brilliant! 🙏🏼

Listened to her BOYS IN THE TREES on Audible. Loved the book, Love her ❤️

She's wonderful...such a unique soul.

amazing...such heartfelt emotion and compassion and so much more to remind us ( not that we need any) of why we care so much about this living legend. and to hear Sally..it confirms what we've known but so nice to see and hear..why we love Carly for her music and the way she always put the kids first...true treasure.

This is so cool. Loved watching this and hearing her early life story on the vineyard

Really like her autobiography. The diaries really provided such great detail. Amazing.

I love Carly!!

Carly thank you for appearing and telling your truth! You’ve always been amazing to me and I send my Love and Respect to you my dear! God Bless! I was around 13 when I met your music and you through my older sister. Thanks Iris! I Love you girl. 🫶🏼✅❣️

What a great interview! Loved it! Thank you!!

I enjoyed this so much. I did not think it possible but it made me love this women even more than I already did. I wish we could have seen the performance of Raining at the end though.

This was great !! I just wish the cameraman would’ve panned over and shown Davey Goode (so?) I was curious to see what he looks like because Carly talked about him so much in her book

Before 4:00 not much is said. After 4:00 there is some talk before the interview begins in earnest. 7:50 the interview begins in earnest. Posting this kind of information is my service to humanity.

Carli looks so young, beautiful, I love her dress sense which is elegant yet not stuffy and comfortable. It enhances her timeless beauty and seems like such a kind sweet lady and James Taylor is a great guy too. You can see why they ended up deeply in love.

You did it...and you're still doing it!!! Good for you Carly! Love you, love your music and your spirit! Keep it up...(a long-time fan in Canada)

I feel so sorry for Carly's father. That affair her 42-year old ma had with the 19-year old babysitter would make my skin crawl.

This is fantastic! Thanks so much!!!!

OMG, that "interviewer" could make pretty much anyone uncomfortable. That had to be the longest one hour twelve minutes of Carly Simon's life.

She still is in love with James Taylor. Bless her.

Thank you so much.

Loving you's the right thing, GREAT!!!!

I'm actually reading the book at the moment, it's a complex book but it's very interesting . Over 350 pages and it's small writing. I find it hard to put down once I start reading. She had a very hard upbringing as I also did . I also spent my school years with a bad stammer , it created a very hard problem to get over . She did it though. The book is full of surprises.

This is so cool!!!!!!!!!!

Sally Taylor singing to her mom at the 29:00 minute mark is very sweet.

Why did they cut the video off before Ben Sally & Sophie sang with Carly??? Can someone please give Carly a tissue ?? 😢

OMG. Too funny. The part of Jacob Brackmon writing another verse to "That's the way I always heard it should be".

LOVE her

I just ordered this book a few days ago. I am so excited for it to arrive.

I like her even more now

I read Carly Simon’s book Boys in the Trees, and I loved it. I was addicted to the book because I’m such a huge fan of Carly Simon’s work. My favorite picture from the book is of Carly Simon standing on the front porch steps of the house she shared with her first husband James Taylor and the caption said “Skylight, James?”.

This touched my heart.

lovely to see you last night in NYC. Splinter happy steps.

Loved the book. Love the lady. Am I the only one who found the facilitator shuffling of papers distracting.

'not being able to speak!,' is something which even if one doesn't 'stutter,' one may have such hesitation, insecurity, lack of confidence, ....that it seems to me that it may be similar or related somehow. Thank you!

What Beautiful 🥰 woman!! ❤️❤️❤️

You belong to me very underrated song I Love It by

50:46 now I’M crying too 😢

Much respect ✊ my dear. This video was well done. Thank You for this lovely video.

I just ordered the book a couple days ago. I love this interview.

Goodness’s how talented

This was a very personal interview of Carly Simon. Wish we could have heard the song at the end!

That is one beautiful lady. Xx

soooo good. thank you Carly

What a shame that we missed out on the song. What a beautiful lady.

Why couldn't we hear the song? Is it anywhere?

😍😍😍😍😍CARLY SIMON!!!!!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

You belong to me I always wish it was me that you were talking about that song love you bye

Carly and carol are my favorite

Carly is so sweet too kind. Her mother was jealous of her.

Her mic should have been turned up.

Artists, singers, actors should keep politics out of their interviews. People tune in to listen because they love you as an entertainer. I have adored Carly since my twenties, she is the greatest singer and lyricist of the times, I'm in my seventies. I also adore James Taylor, he is a poet extradinaire and I feel the same about his singing. Their songs were very important to me in my twenties, their words were deeply moving.

Brilliant light and wonderful artist. Loved her cameo appearance in the underrated movie "Little Black Book" and her music was featured in that Romcom as well. Awesome force. (The interviewer lady seems very passive/aggressive).

hum yes in the trees , mrs wonderful energy

Why has my full comment keep being deleted by more than half several times? So frustrating.

I wanted to hear Sally and Ben sing. That was a terrible ending.

Idosa ja...carly..mas vejo ela como o passado..belíssima

Just a couple of technical observations... As a career performer, as soon as Carly sat down in front of that microphone, she knew that the level was not properly set, and she questioned whether or not she could be heard. I'm sure that she also knew that a Shure SM58 is highly directional, which is fine for up-close singing performances but not well-suited for an interview situation in which the subject is likely to move back and forth, on and off mic. The SM58 constricts Carly's free movement. The microphones are also obtrusive, blocking the faces of Carly and her interviewer. A much better setup would be to have used wireless lavaliers, perhaps with two overhead boom mics suspended just out of frame as a backup.

Lovely!- but interviewer laughs into the mic a lot!

au yes great numbers, let's see now 1 5 8 , and the year 2020 clearly see YAP!!!

I wouldn't be able to give up Cat Stevens then or now but James Taylor was not a bad alternative🤗😊😉

too bad the interviewer is SO LOUD and Carly's mic is subdued! - WTF?

Steven Tyler and Carly Simon I swear are secret twins lol

Why on earth would Taylor edit her out of his life and past?

The book didnt get such good reviews

COOL VIDEO ! SATURDAY 2/25/23 FEBRUARY 25, 2023

Incompetent sound technicians at work.

song Like a River Black Orpheus She's still very much in love with James Taylor.

She’s s such a babe

I listened to the book on audible. My problem is that it stopped too early, before her struggle with breast cancer, her husband being gay, her record label treating her like dirt and dumping her. And so little about recording her albums, too much about her clothes. LONG TIME FAN, I adore her but it was a frustrating read for me.

I HATE the Vineyard, probably the only person in the world who does. I went a couple of times on weekends with friends when working in NYC c1960s. It was crowded and yuppie and you often had to wait for hours to return to the Mainland because of fog.

Really liked Carly. Was listening to this until she had to bring politics into it. Turned it off!!

Lets date

Why did end up getting James’ Beloved Martha Vineyard house and land? 😢

Had to leave. The mic balance was so poor.

Enjoyed this until you started bashing Trump - so rude and very typical of how far left the Vineyard has become - such a shame!

i loved her very much ever since she hit the natl stage, but really did not like what she wrote about james taylor in her book. same w the jackie book. people who value their own privacy would no doubt feel betrayed by her writing

Interview was great until politics came in -- don't alientate some of your fans - JUST SING!!!!

I thought it was Dolly Parton
