Request: James Brown “Please Please Please” Live at the TAMI show, 1964. One of the most theatrical performances of a song ever captured on film! If you’ve never seen it before, get yourself settled in for a once in a lifetime experience! 🥳
Finally, someone's reacting to the great Carly Simon!! Her catalogue is incredible. Check out her songs "Let The River Run", "Coming Around Again", "You Belong to Me" "Hard to Be Tender" and "Nobody Does it Better". You won't be disappointed.
Jim mercer..I'm pretty sure she was singing about Mick. Why else would she have him do backup vocals , perhaps she wanted to watch him cringe. Clue....CLOUDS in my coffee..lol
"Nobody does it better" by Carly is one of my favourite bond theme tunes. Maybe you could do a Bond reaction night, there are so many great theme songs for those films.
Haven't got time for the Pain Is another popular yet moving song. Carly doesn't care for the spotlight and I think that's what makes her songs even more touching.
@@ace4ace780 no they were never married they did work together, Carole wrote a song called You've Got A Friend, they both had success with that song, James made it a hit
Some other songs by Carly Simon to check out: You Belong To Me, Anticipation, You're So Vain, Nobody Does it Better, Coming Around Again and Haven't Got Time For The Pain. You should also listen to Mockingbird by James Taylor and Carly Simon. If you want to check out some James Taylor I would suggest: Fire & Rain, Her Town Too, Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight, You've Got A Friend, How Sweet it Is, You're Smiling Face, Carolina in My Mind, Shower The People, You're Smiling Face, and Copperline,
One of my favorites songs ever! The lyrics are so profound. I swear I can visualize everything Carly is singing about! I'm thankful that it's not my reality🙏😊
I was born in 1957, so I grew up as rock grew. Somewhere down the line in 1971, I was sitting in my neighbors garage with the door open either playing pool or ping pong and this song came on. From the first time I heard this it has been my all time favorite song. Song idea how, with all the great music and artists that have come since the day I was born, but to this day, this song is my #1.
Great reaction. So glad you’re discovering all the talent from the 70s. I was lucky to grow up with all of it! Carly is wonderful. As a kid I thought this song was beautiful yet disturbing. So many Carly songs for you to react to. How about “the right thing to do”. Think you’ll like it. Also would love you to discover Lisa stansfield from the early 90s. You’ll love her voice too. So much to expose you young people to. Lol.
Carly Simon, James Taylor, and Carole King were three folk/pop powerhouses in the '70's and '80's. They were 3 of my favorite artists during that time period. Their songs had such wonderful melodies and told such unique and heart-felt stories.
I've always loved the music of Carly Simon. (Her father was the "Simon" of the publishing company Simon & Schuster.) It's hard to believe that she's now in her 70's. Great song.
Carly had so many hits - another fav is Haven’t Got Time for the Pain. You really should listen to Carole King too. Anything off her Tapestry album, but my fav of hers is You’ve Got a Friend with James Taylor on backup vocals. Carole wrote songs dating back to the 50s, a very talented lady. She wrote Natural Woman that Aretha sang. Carly and Carole defined soft rock female vocalists in the 70s.
Holy cow I had forgotten this song and I even SUNG it many times back in the day! As soon as it started playing it all just flooded back, words and all!!! Just wow. Thanks J.
That's the best part of his channel for me. It has put me back in touch with my love of discovering music. He's reacted to many old songs I had forgotten.
I was 4 years old when this came out. I grew up with Carly in the house with my Mom playing her albums all the time. James Taylor (Her ex) is fantastic, like a genius songwriter and guitar player!
Carly Simon is one of my absolute favorites. So many fantastic songs to discover. "Touched by the Sun", "You're So Vain", "You Belong To Me", " Let The River Run", "Legend in your Own Time", "Coming Around Again", "Devoted to You" (a beautiful duet with James Taylor who she was married to for a time)...really, you can't go wrong with any song chosen!
I would like to add Anne Murray to this list of singers from the 70's. She had a great voice. And for a slightly different sound but still geat music, Gloria Estefan.
@@garyr8739 I remember when I was a kid watching the Glen Campbell show and Anne being on there and how good she was,and my dad commenting that she should smile. lol
The 70s had some great singer songwriters: carly Simons, Carole king, james Taylor, Paul Simon, Neil young, Paul Williams, Janis Ian etc etc. We oldies were so lucky but now, thanks to youtube you youngsters can hear them too.
Been a HUGE Carly fan, since first hearing this back in high school, when it was first released. Everyone's probably familiar with her hits that got so much radio airplay. But for each one of those....there are at least half a dozen more on every album, that unless you've bought it at some point.....you've likely never even heard. 'Touched By The Sun' is one you could really appreciate. Or 'Libby'.....or 'Playing Possum'. 'Never Been Gone'.......'I've Got To Have You'.
195511SM, I’m with ya, man! “I’ve got to have you” is my fav vocal performance of hers (TRIVIA: it was a #2 hit in Australia.) Also love “Libby” and “Touched.” Other deep-cut gems: “Happy B’day” “it Happens everyday” “we ur dearest friends” “we’re so close” “he likes to roll”. i could go on & on.
"Their children hate them for the things they're not. They hate themselves for what they are". Those are such poignant and insightful lyrics, especially considering how young she was at the time. There's some of my favorite lyrics of all time.
The most powerful line to me in the song is "I'll never learn to be just me first, by myself." I went out on my own in my early 20s, and it was such a time of discovery of who I was, and who I was to become. It was an invaluable time of becoming a full person, in charge of my own life.
Hope I haven't been way off on how I've always interpreted the lyrics of this song ..but it always struck me as being on the sarcastic side, with the transparency and pain she's seen in so-called 'happy couples ' around her, yet her man seems to want push both of them to get into the same situation.. that's kinda what I get from it.
@@Dooklawz in the past people married because of obligation because that's all their family ever did was the repetition of the same act over and over again and it ends in misery because they felt pressured by their own parents etc. Today everything is completely different and everyone is still unhappy but we follow each other like sheep to the slaughter because of peer pressure and parental pressure. I went against all that and I ended up with a good marriage because I didn't listen to people's crap.
She was 26, that wasn't that young then and it isn't now either. Anyway, she didn't write the song, Jacob Brackman did, as well as I Haven't Got Time For The Pain.
She and her husband of many years, James Taylor ( Sweet Baby James ) both have wonderful voices and id the famous "Mockingbird" together live. Wow. You sure picked some great ones today.
Because of Carly , and my admiration for her , , I named my 4th out of 5 daughters. " Karlee " and they have similar looks 😊 . " Ms. Carly has great Music 🎤🎹😎💜
'The Right Thing to Do' and 'Legend in Your Own Time' are also great songs. Some folks say this song was written about Cat Steven, he was her boyfriend for a while.
I ts amazing that you would have the same reaction as most others also did to Carly Simon - 49 years ago.BTW, those other 2 artists in the beginning of the song were Art Garfunkel ( of Simon and Garfunkel) and George Harrison. All in the New York area at that time.
You have to do You’re So Vain, Carly’s biggest hit with harmonies by Mick Jagger. Great song. She had a ton of hits and every one of us teenage boys was in love with her
If anybody here hasn't seen it, search for Carly Simon at Grand Central Station - a concert at Grand Central during rush hour. She's incredible. What a thrill it must have been for commuters just coming upon it.
Jovoughn, you are getting a good eye for yesteryears greats. That is indeed George Harrison. You're getting there. Lol. Carly Simon...Beautiful lady, amazing singer. Had several hits back in her heyday. Please look into some more of her music.
Oh wow Carly. My favorite and my children's favorite as they were growing up was Coming Around Again/Itsy Bitsy Spider. A song about family, so real and raw and beautiful.
Carly Simon is a national treasure. That's the Way was from her self titled debut album, and she released her second album, Anticipation, 8 months later. She's the only artist who's had two charting albums competing with each other. In 1971, she won the Grammy award for record of the year (Anticipation), and Best New Artist. She's been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and she won the Oscar for the movie soundtrack, Working Girl. Let The River Run is a beautiful, powerful song. Some of her other big hits were "The Right Thing To Do", "Haven't Got Time for the Pain", "You Belong to Me", "It Keeps You Running" (Doobie Bros cover), "Mockingbird" a fun duet, & 60s remake w her then husband, James Taylor. I love me Carly Simon 💘
One of the most beautiful songs ever! So much depth and hauntingly beautiful melody. It is so refreshing to see this young man diggin' music from my era!
Oh Jovaughn the fact that you reviewed this one made me super happy. Such a beautiful song and it tells such a story. I 💙 Carly Simon. So incredibly talented. Try listening to Nobody Does it Better and The Right Thing to Do. I always loved her song, Boys in the Trees. Way too many to list. I grieve for the loss of great raw talent in the music industry. Talent used to be REQUIRED.
What an incredible talent she was. She had a serious shyness that almost got in her rise to stardom. But like many greats she rose above it n made some awesome hits.
Thank you, Jayvee - I've not been a huge fan of Carly's - but this song/performance is AMAZING - she is so beautiful and the lyrics are so poignant! appreciate your reaction..
enjoyed this reaction, love her voice. please check out her Mockingbird duet with James at the No Nukes concert in 1979 at Madison Square Garden. great upbeat video. their marriage was still good then and you can tell they were having fun. who knew that he was such a good dancer?! thank you.
She's unbelievably accomplished. She plays the piano (I'm always impressed with that talent), sings, writes her own songs, has scored movies, wrote an opera for which she won critical acclaim, and has also authored children's books. I've always loved this song in particular because it paints such a vivid picture (especially in the first verse). She's a born storyteller (as is James Taylor - it's easy to understand how they were once a couple.)
Beautiful song, beautifully sung! Deep, meaningful lyrics too! Love it! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 And WOW, that was George Harrison and Art Garfunkel in the background! Nice reaction! ❤️✌🏻✌🏻❤️
Carly Simon is also a top notch singer/songwriter. She wrote and recorded some classic songs - all of which are sheer perfection. You might want to check out: "You're so Vain", "Night Owl," "Anticipation" and "Haven't Got Time for the Pain". Her albums are all mini-masterpieces unto themselves. If nothing else, her Greatest Hits would definately be worth having. Good music!
That’s Art Garfunkel at the beginning on the left (from Simon & Garfunkel) and George Harrison on the right. I didn’t even see George Harrison at first because I was distracted by Art Garfunkel’s hair. 😂

Hahaha you don’t scare us... bring it fella😉
Goerge Harrison and Art Garfunkel are the two speaking at the beginning.
He did look puzzled there...
Yeah...it's George Harrison with Art Garfunkle (of Simon and Garfunkle)
Garfunkel.
Hey, if Artie wanted people to spell his name correctly he could have sold more records.
Art Garfunkel and George Harrison. Carly had such an incredible voice!
Love it. The then 9 years old me is crying. Beautiful.
She's also a really good composer
I recognized Art Garfunkel. I didn't know the other man was George Harrison, though.
Finally, someone's reacting to the great Carly Simon!! Her catalogue is incredible. Check out her songs "Let The River Run", "Coming Around Again", "You Belong to Me" "Hard to Be Tender" and "Nobody Does it Better". You won't be disappointed.
How about her song “You’re So Vain”. Mick Jagger on backing vocals.
Yessssss! Everyone tries to figure out who she's singing about!
An absolute must!!!
Jim mercer..I'm pretty sure she was singing about Mick. Why else would she have him do backup vocals , perhaps she wanted to watch him cringe.
Clue....CLOUDS in my coffee..lol
She stated that it's about 3 different men one of which she named as actor Warren Beatty. I wikied it just now cause I was curious!
They keep blocking this one though. 😟 I hope he can get it and react to it.
"Nobody does it better" by Carly is one of my favourite bond theme tunes. Maybe you could do a Bond reaction night, there are so many great theme songs for those films.
Great suggestion!!!
The Spy Who Loved Me
One of her very best. Jovaughn would 💚 it!
The best version is from her live Martha's Vineyard outdoor concert.
Haven't got time for the Pain
Is another popular yet moving song. Carly doesn't care for the spotlight and I think that's what makes her songs even more touching.
Yes Haven’t got time for the pain is good. Do that one too
She suffered from stage fright! James Taylor helped her get out there, but it was never easy.
Carly has a beautiful natural voice. The great ones make it look easy.
She was married to James Taylor for ten years, two very talented people
He needs to check out James also Mocking bird
I thought it's carol king who was married to james taylor
Ace 4 Ace
God no 😆
@@ace4ace780 no they were never married they did work together, Carole wrote a song called You've Got A Friend, they both had success with that song, James made it a hit
Another great song by Carly Simon. Didn't Carly and James have a son together?
You know she's badass when she's got those two heavyweights checking her out
It looks like they're doing backing vocals in this performance, just not this particular song. A huge compliment.
I agree, she has a beautiful voice!! She was married to James Taylor, another amazing singer & artist, from ‘72 - ‘83. They sound wonderful together!
She was a stutterer when she was younger. Her mom realized she didn’t stutter when she sang so she suggested that she sing her sentences. It worked!
Wow! I didn't know that. Thank you so much for telling us! I've loved her voice for years.
Try "your so vain"
@@annwithnell8101 The original diss track lol!
Some other songs by Carly Simon to check out: You Belong To Me, Anticipation, You're So Vain, Nobody Does it Better, Coming Around Again and Haven't Got Time For The Pain.
You should also listen to Mockingbird by James Taylor and Carly Simon.
If you want to check out some James Taylor I would suggest: Fire & Rain, Her Town Too, Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight, You've Got A Friend, How Sweet it Is, You're Smiling Face, Carolina in My Mind, Shower The People, You're Smiling Face, and Copperline,

Mockingbird...SO FUN!!!
Boys in the Trees
Sweet baby james (about his nephew)
Her voice is intoxicating. I was around 5 yrs old when this came out. I adored her from the beginning.
One of my favorites songs ever! The lyrics are so profound. I swear I can visualize everything Carly is singing about! I'm thankful that it's not my reality🙏😊
Love Carly! She and her then husband, James Taylor do Mocking Bird and it’s lovely.
Please do “Your so vain” by her. It’s awesome

I've always loved the music of Carly Simon. (Her father was the "Simon" of the publishing company Simon & Schuster.) It's hard to believe that she's now in her 70's. Great song.
One of my favorite female singers. Such a beautiful voice. Great pick to react to.
You should listen to her song You're So Vain. Such a great voice.
YES, that's another great song of hers. I learned that one on bass guitar the week before the 2017 Total Eclipse Of The Sun.
@@RayRay-zt7bj That's cool 😎

"Coming Around Again" is my favorite. Not mentioned enough on here.
:) Yes!! I especially love the live version with her kids (they sing the 'itsy bitsy spider' part.) I've put that version on repeat so many times! :)
Holy cow I had forgotten this song and I even SUNG it many times back in the day! As soon as it started playing it all just flooded back, words and all!!! Just wow. Thanks J.
That's the best part of his channel for me. It has put me back in touch with my love of discovering music. He's reacted to many old songs I had forgotten.
Same here
You’re So Vain is her most famous song. Her song Anticipation was used in Heinz Ketchup commercials in the 70s
Haven’t got time for the pain was also used in commercial for maybe Bayer aspirin?? Or Tylenol? One of those pain meds!!
If you like Carly you will love CAROL KING "So far away"
and the whole "Tapestry"
album is a masterpiece,
And that is just a start.
Thank you for appreciating Carly!
I was 4 years old when this came out. I grew up with Carly in the house with my Mom playing her albums all the time. James Taylor (Her ex) is fantastic, like a genius songwriter and guitar player!

Carly is an icon. I can't even begin to start on how much her music influenced my life since the 70's. Thank you for bringing her back
Jovaughn, Carly Simon has some great songs - Anticipation, You're So Vain and my personal favorite You Belong To Me. Thanks for this.
Anticipation - the Hienz Ketchup song for decades.
That one song alone made her a gazillion $.
Anticipation - she had a date with Cat Stevens and wrote that song about waiting for him to come pick her up
Two of my favorites from Carly are “The Right Thing to Do” and “Anticipation.”
They definitely had some talented ladies in that era, Carly Simon, Carol King, Joan Baez...
Gary Lindsey And don’t forget Joni Mitchell & Linda Rondstadt too! Too many to list, huh?
Gary Lindsey and Karen Carpenter Pheobe Snow and Janice Ian, we we’re spoiled.
@@sherlockhemlock5655 lol, I was originally gonna say Joni Mitchell instead of Joan Baez but something happened to my mind. Smh

Incredibly deep song and she is just amazing.

One my favorites. Insanely deep and personal lyrics sung with Carly's golden voice. Doesn't get much better than this.
'The Right Thing to Do' and 'Legend in Your Own Time' are also great songs. Some folks say this song was written about Cat Steven, he was her boyfriend for a while.
I’ve always found her voice haunting! She’s always been awesome! “You’re So Vain” of course!!!
“close the wounds hide the scars” one of the most powerful lyrics in this song! Brilliant Carly Simon!☮️❤️🙏

Awesome song and reaction.
The two guys were Art Garfunkel (of Simon and Garfunkel - light hair) and George Harrison (of the Beatles).
Yup..."Sing it" is right! This was a breakthrough song AND performance for her. Love you Carly!❤
Thank you, Jayvee - I've not been a huge fan of Carly's - but this song/performance is AMAZING - she is so beautiful and the lyrics are so poignant! appreciate your reaction..

She is so famous for not doing any concerts but her songs were well known.

True talent..I love her songs, and voice 💝
This songs takes me back many moons ago to my youth listening to this song on the radio. Beautifully haunting.
Do ‘You’re So Vain’
Album version.
It’s her most famous song.
One of the greatest singer-songwriters from the 70's and on.
My favorite Carly Simon song!! Such a heartfelt story!
Love Carly Simon, so talented, beautiful and sexy!
So many terrific songs. Enjoy getting to know her.🎧❤️
Carly Simon!!! Wow!! Love her music!!

🌸 Carly Simon has an incredible voice ! xo
Everything you said and the lyrics!!! So moving!! Love to see people feel the amazing pure talent!
"They have their silent noons...tearful nights...angry dawns..." Some of the best lyrics ever.
So many great songs, you need to react to more of her songs
Beautiful song! Great voice.
That’s Art Garfunkel at the beginning on the left (from Simon & Garfunkel) and George Harrison on the right. I didn’t even see George Harrison at first because I was distracted by Art Garfunkel’s hair. 😂
Brilliant singer /songwriter, nice tune. Nice to see Art Garfunkel there too, one of my all time heroes. Cool reaction.
All of her sisters are singers one is a Opera singer I also saw her on finding your roots on pbs it was pretty cool and she was shocked but happy.
