Carly Simon - Boys in the Trees - Full Talk!!!
Filmed Summer of 2016.
Simon's memoir reveals her remarkable life, beginning with her storied childhood as the third daughter of Richard L. Simon, the co-founder of publishing giant Simon & Schuster, her musical debut as half of The Simon Sisters performing folk songs with her sister Lucy in Greenwich Village, to a meteoric solo career that would result in 13 top 40 hits, including the #1 song "You're So Vain." She was the first artist in history to win a Grammy Award, an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award, for her song "Let the River Run" from the movie Working Girl.
The memoir recalls a childhood enriched by music and culture, but also one shrouded in secrets that would eventually tear her family apart. Simon brilliantly captures moments of creative inspiration, the sparks of songs, and the stories behind writing "Anticipation" and "We Have No Secrets" among many others. Romantic entanglements with some of the most famous men of the day fueled her confessional lyrics, as well as the unraveling of her storybook marriage to James Taylor.

Carly Simon was so important to me in 1973 after the birth of my son. Loved singing Carly's songs to him. She should have been in the decades ago yet seemed to be a male club most of its time. But sadly on October 19th, her oldest sister, opera singer Joanna Simon, 85, died after a battle with thyroid cancer and then one day later, on October 20th, her closer in age sister, composer and singer Lucy Simon, 82, also died-after a rigorous fight with metastatic breast cancer so she couldn't make it to the R&R Hall of Fame. Joanna’s death was not anticipated; Lucy’s was. She knew she was dying and was about to enter a hospice. It was a devastating moment for Carly. Add to that the fact that the sisters’ younger brother, Peter, had died in 2018 of lung cancer. Carly wasn't emotionally able to be in public or at the R&R Hall of Fame. 💔❤️💔❤️💔❤️

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.

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.

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. ❤

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.

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

@JohnDrewVoice 2 жыл бұрын

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.
