When I heard, this book was written (by accident because I discovered the song first) I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. Being one of the most revered women in the world,that I think in my time on this earth,I will ever come to think of as so historically profound. Anything, on Mrs.Kennedy-Onassis I love to read and find out about. This book was kind and thoughtful… and just so touching,as was described,how she looked with a paisley scarf around her head, the adjective beautiful was used as she was slipping away. It was not ostentatious for the sake of reviling private moments between friends…just very kind. Thank you Ms. Simon for sharing such a wonderful friendship….
Too many books written about Jackie by people who didn't know her. Finally, a loving and respectful book by someone who knew her on a very special level.
@@CaptainPond I’m pretty sure she would have been mortified. That’s THE most consistent character she had was that she was fervent about guarding her privacy
Sugar coat it all you want, but if you shared private and personal stories that she entrusted to you when you were with her, after her death, you’re disrespecting Jackie. You would have NEVER shared that information if she were still alive. It would have probably cost you the friendship.
Yes, she was private & who 'should' know this more than HER OWN CHILDREN, yet they went & auctioned off her belongings after she was gone, then released tapes that Jackie wanted to be sealed for x-number years... So no, I don't see any problem with Carly writing a book about her, like so many others had. The fact that Caroline auctioned off Jackie's personal belongings, yet the dress Jackie wore when JFK was assassinated is 'not to be seen until...' It just seems such a striking contradiction
Being a fan of Carly Simon's music I have been waiting all day to get home after work and watch this. WOW, so interesting to see a different side of Jackie that I had no clue existed.
Carly a living legend what a deep sweet soul. Also I’m sure Jackie knew the truth about her husbands assassination but of course could not say anything publicly about it.
I doubt the truth of the assassination even mattered much to her; the only thing that would have probably mattered to her was something that could bring her husband & children’s father back, which nothing could. I read somewhere that whenever someone would bring up the details of the assassination in front of her she would just look at them sort of quizzically, as if discussing those details had no point.
Doubtful Jackie would have thought of this book as a loving tribute. Jackie's privacy meant everything to her. Carly didn't share the book with (Caroline) because she knew Caroline would not approve. Most of John Jr.'s friends sold him out when he passed too. NONE of Carolyn's friends did - except Rose, John's assistant and Carole, John's cousin's wife but NONE of Carolyn's personal friends ever sold her out. Carly did it as a money grab. All her James Taylor/Your so vain stories had been told. This one about Jackie was one most probably didn't know about. They were an odd paring for sure. She did it for the money.
She didn’t feel comfortable writing about her parents then. I wonder if people know that her mom was from Cuba and part of her ancestry was African? Carly is one of the MOST PROLIFIC SONGWRITERS of her generation. I wonder if her nominal African ancestry had any impact on her and how she sees the world. I wish she and others would talk about their background in order to help young people of similar backgrounds and educate all of us. NOW I HAVE “COMING AROUND AGAIN” PLAYING NON STOP IN MY HEAD❤️
You are not OWED the information about peoples lives just because they are famous. Their private life and ancestries is not something that you are just entitled to. She didn´t even attempt to keep that a secret that is why she did the television show who do you think you are. People trying to keep their life a secret do not do television shows seeking their ancestors. Bye the way she did NOT know some of her ancestry UNTIL she went on that show.
@omar chandler I read a profile on Carly in Vanity Fair, where she admitted to and embraced her Black heritage, and even said her Grandmother "resembled Lena Horne". How ironic that Carly was close to Jackie Kennedy, as Jackie's father's family (Black Jack), descended from Black blood, as well. Jackie went out of her way to have this information changed to "Jewish" around the time her husband was headed to the White House.
Do you think people with German ancestry have a lot of German influence or do you think their present does. Her African is a tiny percentage of her total ancestry as you can see from her sisters and brother.
Omg! I felt a bit shocked looking at this cos i thought Carly got so old and kind of frail. I now realise that the other videos i been looking through are over 30 odd years old. I kind of forget i am getting on a bit myself
I read the book and it was actually more about Carly's life from the 80s to the early 90s. Jackie is really more of a supporting character in the book and Carly doesn't, like trash or insult her or anything, so I don't see how the book's a "betrayal". So what if Carly wrote it because she needed money? It's still a good book and besides, nobody yelled at Carly for trashing James Taylor, so why should we yell at her even if she did trash Jackie?
For someone who claims to have been a friend to someone who tried so hard to keep herself private, especially in her latter years, this is the ultimate betrayal. Carly should be ashamed of herself. How much money does she need? Disgusting.
Tom Lowery Well they were both saying here that Jackie was a private person so if that’s from someone that did know her, then doesn’t that validate the point that it’s a betrayal?
krobk1953, She did say she was going to call Caroline to tell her about the book, but she didn't. Maybe she knew Caroline would not have liked the idea, or her mother would not have liked the idea. But Carly wrote it anyway. MONEY!!!!!!
I used to dance to Carly's music with my little daughters back in the day. Who better than your own close friend to reveal more about your private life. We're all just people-- each and everyone of us. Some have bigger titles-- but it's just a bullsh*t play in the end-- no small players-- just small parts. Lots of love to Carly!
This is to Carly. I have a symphony or two written in grampas hand written Yugoslav 1895 1955 never been heard only in his mind I want to hear it because I wonder if somehow I play it on my piano because I can't read music but I play like I should learn. You teach right 😃
I would feel angry if I didn't do something right and I stress out so much about everything and everything around me isn't suitable for me at all and I wish I can put it right again.
Wow my favorite person of all time Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis by a friend Carly Simon is rather ironic but hopefully ironic to Jacqueline may she RIP
One of the saddest aspects, it seems, of being a 'Kennedy wife,' is that they were religated to second-class citizens. And even sadder: that the women accepted it All. And BTW, are you Drunk, Darlene Dubey 👇?! ... Had to ask. And Carly: You are a priceless 💎.
I agree and Jackie would be livid and would never speak to her again if she were alive. BUT I'm glad she wrote it and I'm gonna run to the bookstore when I get a chance! :-D
Intel allegiance. It's not m and m..as a bout. But ciao said my mirror was such reflection to the past..future and presents of cash for easy money or science. So as it was a song to say what's going on. No..I'd bet you won't pull shitaki about veins or vain..its not helpful.
my god what an idiotic statement- if anything - he was the gold digger to her enormous class and decency- any Kennedy man was lucky to be near any woman of her class
She held pieces of JFK's brains in her gloved little hands from the trunk of the limo all the way to Parkland Hospital. Handed them to the surgeon, who could not put him back together again.

Justin Offutt, Maybe she wasn't lying about Trump. The man was all over every woman. You don't think for one moment he was faithful to all his wives do you? He probably grabbed Carly by her p*ss* too.
I'm glad Carly did this and wrote about her friendship, Jackie was human and the interview is respectful and loving it just makes me love Jackie more
She needs to be the voice on every audiobook ever. I'd never get anything else done.
She has an audiobook she narrates. Buys in the trees.
You're still one of my favorite, original, talented artists. I'm a fan for life. Keep it coming Carly...

Great interview! Oviously, Jackie knew that nobody does it better than Carly.
Too many books written about Jackie by people who didn't know her. Finally, a loving and respectful book by someone who knew her on a very special level.
Do you seriously think that Jackie would have been OK with this? Nah
@@CaptainPond I’m pretty sure she would have been mortified. That’s THE most consistent character she had was that she was fervent about guarding her privacy
Such a beautiful time, two friends could never forget such a special time,
they spent together during their life ❤️
Carly! You are my inspiration! Thanks for the music and your stories! Miss those books!
Loved Jackie onasis! So glad they had a great bond together.
Most fabulous interview I've ever seen!
I read the book a couple of months ago and loved it. But mostly because it turned out to be a wonderful, loving tribute to JBK from a friend.
What a great interview. Both participants were stellar.
I am so sure she loved you as we all do. You are the legend.❤
My God it just goes to show! We just some times never could have guessed, and now there's more to the storyline, how marvelous!.🥰
what a gift to be a friend of Jackie O. My neighbor grew up as a friend of Grace Kelly's. A small handful of people get to be very lucky.
We're lucky to have good friends, being famous doesn't make them better people!
Don’t tell, Carly. You have enough experience in your life to not sell out ❤️
Sugar coat it all you want, but if you shared private and personal stories that she entrusted to you when you were with her, after her death, you’re disrespecting Jackie. You would have NEVER shared that information if she were still alive. It would have probably cost you the friendship.
I could not agree more. Well said.
God I love this woman, so unguarded, so real. Really encouraging.
So sad her mom didn’t think she deserved the award. I understand why she was able to write about her in her memoir. 😢
Jackie didn't have many if at all "loyal" close friends including her 2 husbands. Carly remained a loyal friend that Jackie cherished.
Yes, she was private & who 'should' know this more than HER OWN CHILDREN, yet they went & auctioned off her belongings after she was gone, then released tapes that Jackie wanted to be sealed for x-number years... So no, I don't see any problem with Carly writing a book about her, like so many others had. The fact that Caroline auctioned off Jackie's personal belongings, yet the dress Jackie wore when JFK was assassinated is 'not to be seen until...' It just seems such a striking contradiction
Carly wrote an autobiography about her own life and it was great. I know her new book about Jackie will be great too.
Autobiography of her own life - Wow, that's a first!
she wrote an ENTIRE book about it? Money grab for sure.
Being a fan of Carly Simon's music I have been waiting all day to get home after work and watch this. WOW, so interesting to see a different side of Jackie that I had no clue existed.

She retaliated by marrying Onassis!
Carly’s a Icon 🙏
Campbell's soup can's an icon. Howdy Doody Pez dispenser's an icon. Aunt Bee's an icon. Who or what isn't iconic? Meh.

Carly definitely acknowledged her roots and was even profiled on PBS TV show Finding Your Roots. Look it up!
Carly’s mother was from Philadelphia. Carly’s maternal grandmother (Chibi) was from Cuba….

Free spirits, prayers, Gregorian chants and a mish mash of thinking and morality.
Bought the book! NO PICTURES at all! Disappointed, but glad I bought it.
Great talk. Jackie belongs to history and it is right that a loving friend writes and speaks.
Wow, so then she doesn't deserve privacy? Everything about her should be known? That is disgusting!!

Helen Nikki, Who are you referring too in your comment, And by the way are you drunk? Are you referring to Carly?
Jackie’s so vane, she probably thinks this book is about her.
That thumbnail 🤯 it was like somebody was pulling her hair from behind
Why these women have so much plastic surgery? Why?
You hating? Or is it any of your business? Get a life!!! 😂
That’s a face you can remember
Really, it’s a betrayal no matter how she parses it.
Sounds like Carly portrayed her friend in a beautiful light...
I agree and Jackie would be livid and would never speak to her again if she were alive. BUT I'm glad she wrote it and I'm gonna run to the bookstore when I get a chance! :-D
You're a cynical person.

J C I agree
💙💝
Tamara love her! Beauty!
Starting to look like Tina Louise
That’s some plastic surgery
Tragic
What a betrayal.
With all the money these people have you would think they could afford some better plastic surgery's. She doesn't even look like herself.

It's so odd to me that she keeps calling her Jackie when it was so widely reported that she had loathed the name.
HAK she didn’t loathe the name Jackie, all her friends and family called her that. She loathed the nickname Jackie O.
I still can't figure out what was so special about Jackie O.
joe fran, Everybody was fascinated by her. Why not you?
She wasn't very attractive and she was a gold digger!
my god what an idiotic statement- if anything - he was the gold digger to her enormous class and decency- any Kennedy man was lucky to be near any woman of her class
What is even more idiotic, is people like yourself still praise this person.
