agreed!

Thank you for that information. I've looked high and low for video of Joanna Simon performing.

I would love to know more about that experience, Juliaflo. I am so surprised there are no recorded concerts with Joanna!

I was fresh out of college and had performed with a choral group, and in one of those concerts, Joanna Simon was the mezzo-soprano soloist. (I am a coloratura soprano, by the way).

thank you!

What does she play? Piano i assume?

He turned out to be gay. She knew it. Carly makes very bad choices in men.

down the drain.

Not sure what went on in the second marriage. But with James Taylor, it put Carly mentally back in her father’s house where he preferred her older sisters to her. He wanted a boy when she was born and Carl was to be his name so they just added a ‘y‘ to the name. His coldness contributed to how she saw herself in her father’s eyes. This was shortly before her dad had a mental collapse and after her brother Peter was born. James being this way with her further impacted how she saw herself. As unlovable.

Yes, her second husband is an enigma...he adored her and she, him...he loves women, but he also had gay thoughts, which he shared with her later in the marriage. They are still friends and talk...and his tell-all book was something that she encouraged him to do...it was not something that was meant to hurt her at all...she knew about it and said he needed to purge all of the baggage to live a better and more authentic life. She is now 2021...living with a surgeon and they have been together for quite some time now...she looks great and is happy. When you are the youngest daughter and felt unloved and not enough, by a father, it does damage to your psyche for your entire life. She craves love and it can be overwhelming to men that cannot really understand her.

Well tell us about this cringe worthy event please.

Simon & Schuster just had it it's biggest best seller ever in Mary Trump's book. Carly is one of THOSE Simons.

@@Muttonchop_USA yes she is. But the founder of S&S, Richard Simon, was very misunderstood by Carly during his lifetime that only after his death did she find peace with their relationship. Many of her songs if you read the lyrics are actually loosely and not so loosely based on growing up in Dick Simon’s household.

Song she won it for: Let The River Run

Theme for Working Girls movie.

I believe she has an awesome voice, but it surprised me to learn that she is not the best singer in her family.

WHAT?

Well like the saying goes "Janet" it takes one to know one." Glad I don't know you... Sounds like you had a gay husband yourself who hurt you and lied to you or was that your father to your mother and your family? Hmmm?

Not so. She chooses to not perform because of such paralyzing stage fright. And she is a child of the Simon and Schuster book dynasty and had a multi-million dollar trust fund. She’s no pauper!

@George Martin shes upper crust before 70s

@@ebnolan3856 that's propaganda

@@jillsmcfarland2001 sorry but it’s not propaganda. Read her book Boys In Trees, she talks about being a stutterer from a young age. This caused her much anxiety when speaking or singing in front of people. It’s why now when she performs, she chooses where and what audiences she will perform before. The book is about her family, growing up in the Simon and Schuster dynasty, her fathers and her brothers mental illnesses, and her beginnings as a young folk singer in NYC. So no Jill Mcfarland it is not propaganda. Reading helps ignorance.

Gives her face her characteristic look.

It's not her teeth, it's her jaw, and corrective surgery would certainly have changed her voice intonation. She's beautiful as she is!

Who cares..its her.

...sexy to me....
