- 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.

It's time for Carly Simon to be in the R&R Hall of Fame!
Nov. 2022! :)
Not posthumously. She's earned it.
She should've already been in there..
And she is officially in!
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. 💔❤️💔❤️💔❤️
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!
I wish I could meet Her. She is Amazing . James Taylor - should have stayed with her !
Let me know if he works with her again so I could apply job so get to meet her.
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.
Legend with honesty, openness, talent and a great smile😊
Carly.and her music are still awesome and so her ❤
Carly is brilliant! Love her ❣️🥰🎶
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 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 .
Josh D I didn’t know that myself.... and I have had that CD for years. I guess I never read the liner notes. Very interesting!
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.
Listened to her BOYS IN THE TREES on Audible. Loved the book, Love her ❤️
I just purchased the audio. I am at the part where she just married Taylor. It’s a great listen
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.
Thank you Carly for a life of wonderful words and enjoyable music.
What an incredible treat. Thank you to all involved. This is a WOW!
Yes 🙏🙏🙏
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.
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.
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.
I love Carly!!
I Love Carly too. Seems i heart her amazing & powerfull Voice in the James Bond Film, the Spy who loved me : nobody does it better than Carly.
Really like her autobiography. The diaries really provided such great detail. Amazing.
This is so cool. Loved watching this and hearing her early life story on the vineyard
Wow 😮 I just loved hearing Carly read her words to me ❣️
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.
What a great interview! Loved it! Thank you!!
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'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.
There are millions of us who love you Carly
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.
This is fantastic! Thanks so much!!!!
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.
lovely to see you last night in NYC. Splinter happy steps.
Sally Taylor singing to her mom at the 29:00 minute mark is very sweet.
I like her even more now
OMG, that "interviewer" could make pretty much anyone uncomfortable. That had to be the longest one hour twelve minutes of Carly Simon's life.
This is so cool!!!!!!!!!!
I bet she’s a wonderful mom. God bless her.
Thank you so much.
I just ordered this book a few days ago. I am so excited for it to arrive.
Carly Simon is brilliant! 🙏🏼
soooo good. thank you Carly
I just ordered the book a couple days ago. I love this interview.
Much respect ✊ my dear. This video was well done. Thank You for this lovely video.
Her 1st album was all i listened to then (high school) - enlightening!. I find that our lives paralleled in many emotional ways.
Loving you's the right thing, GREAT!!!!
Excellent book! ❤ Carly ❤
Gorgeous woman. National treasure ❤❤❤.
This was a very personal interview of Carly Simon. Wish we could have heard the song at the end!
This touched my heart.
Loved the book. Love the lady.
Am I the only one who found the facilitator shuffling of papers distracting.
What Beautiful 🥰 woman!! ❤️❤️❤️
I agree.
LOVE her
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. ❤
Goodness’s how talented
You belong to me very underrated song I Love It by
Why did they cut the video off before Ben Sally & Sophie sang with Carly???
Can someone please give Carly a tissue ?? 😢
If you never had to struggle you'd never know your strength!!!😊
Why couldn't we hear the song? Is it anywhere?
hum yes in the trees , mrs wonderful energy
Idosa ja...carly..mas vejo ela como o passado..belíssima
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).
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
That is one beautiful lady. Xx
What a shame that we missed out on the song. What a beautiful lady.
You belong to me I always wish it was me that you were talking about that song love you bye
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.
Don't agree....politics , day to day living, influences how they feel about things, it influences their art. You're basically saying they should sit down and shut up. They have the right to express how they feel like anyone else
Artist, Singers and Actors should NOT keep politics out of their interviews if they choose not too.
We might not agree with their political views yet they can use their voice as they choose. It's their right.
au yes great numbers, let's see now 1 5 8 , and the year 2020 clearly see YAP!!!
OMG. Too funny. The part of Jacob Brackmon writing another verse to "That's the way I always heard it should be".
50:46 now I’M crying too 😢
Carly and carol are my favorite
'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!
😍😍😍😍😍CARLY SIMON!!!!!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
😁i've subscribed to your channel....Thank you for posting! 🥰Carly's soooooooo PRECIOUS!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Her mic should have been turned up.
And the dimwit interviewer should not have talked over and ignored Carly's questioning right at the beginning about her mike volume. Sheesh!
COOL VIDEO ! SATURDAY 2/25/23 FEBRUARY 25, 2023
Carly is so sweet too kind. Her mother was jealous of her.
She still is in love with James Taylor. Bless her.
I wouldn't be able to give up Cat Stevens then or now but James Taylor was not a bad alternative🤗😊😉
Carly wasn't meant to be with Cat Stevens. But sad James drug addiction made that relationship not last. People grow apart for many reasons yet often the love within stays deep in ones ❤ if the love was a real connection from it's beginning. Lots of people end up in multiple marriages until a partnership works.
Steven Tyler and Carly Simon I swear are secret twins lol
You are right
song Like a River
Black Orpheus
She's still very much in love with James Taylor.
I wanted to hear Sally and Ben sing. That was a terrible ending.
Why on earth would Taylor edit her out of his life and past?
Lovely!- but interviewer laughs into the mic a lot!
She’s s such a babe
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.
The book didnt get such good reviews
too bad the interviewer is SO LOUD and Carly's mic is subdued! - WTF?
Lets date
Incompetent sound technicians at work.
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.
Hate?
@@Getbackjojo Yep! But then there are places that I LOVE. Not PC these days to have passionate feelings I know. Spent many weekends in that horrid place. Also used to go to the Hamptons which I liked. This is all c1960.
Why did end up getting James’ Beloved Martha Vineyard house and land? 😢
I believe I read it was part of the divorce agreement which was never publicly discussed. And it shouldn't be.
I wonder how many psych meds she’s on.
Btw, her mother sounds like a witch
@@sheLovesG it wasn’t enough for you to say that once, you had to say it twice? Not everyone needs psych meds to get past bad parenting.
@@RickiLanders you, sound sooo level headed !
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.
Had to leave. The mic balance was so poor.
I thought it was Dolly Parton
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
It's probably one of the reasons he doesn't talk to her any more. He seems like a very private person. I've heard he asked her long ago to not talk about private things to do with their life, and she didn't respect that and did anyway. He has his reasons for not talking to her anymore.
Really liked Carly. Was listening to this until she had to bring politics into it. Turned it off!!
Enjoyed this until you started bashing Trump - so rude and very typical of how far left the Vineyard has become - such a shame!
I was concerned that I was the only one who felt this way! I loved this interview so much & then out came her political agenda & pretty much ruined it for me. It’s really such a shame that people in the limelight don’t realize that the public doesn’t really want to hear their one-sided, disrespectful political opinions. Stick to what you do best~sing, sing, sing 🎶 🎤 🎵
Agree 100% Disappointment!
Any self respecting woman would speak out against Trump. She expresses her truth. That is what she does. 🔥
45 was worst and most dangerous president ever. Anyone with a brain would speak out against that pos.
Interview was great until politics came in -- don't alientate some of your fans - JUST SING!!!!
Agreed 100%!!! I Love Carly Simon. I have truly appreciated her her music for decades. However, she never should had mentioned Donald Trump at all. I wish entertainers could just leave politics out of things. Please, just do what we love you for....ENTERTAIN US.
@@glo3139 Looks like she was talking to her more open minded fans. Ones that realize there’s more than one point of view and we don’t have to like the same people.
Agree, shut the hell up. No one cares about your politics! Shame!
@@strattt10 Or yours! Biased much?
@@strattt10don't speak for everyone kid. Lots of Carly fans don't mind her voice on politics. She has a RIGHT to defend her song used by politicians she doesn't support. The Eagles & The Rolling Stones spoke up when their songs where also used without permission. But some clowns don't respect others.
