Carly Simon opens up about the struggles she faced during her turbulent marriage to James Taylor.

Both James’s and Carly’s music give me such comfort. Remembering a different time growing up in the late 70s/early 80s. In my opinion one of the best eras of music.

I love that Dan, at 92, is still working as a journalist, and Carly, at 81, looks fantastic.

I really love Carly Simon's music and her as a person also. Thirty years ago I had a friend named Jimmy who was the hairdresser for Mary Lou Retton in Houston. He was in the last stages of AIDS right before he died and Mary Lou Retton knew he was avid fan of Carly Simon so she called her and asked he she would meet Jimmy for lunch. She said yes and Jimmy flew up and had lunch with her before he passed away. It made me love her even more to see her do such a kind thing for my dying friend!

Wow. She is so honest and a beautiful soul. Thanks sister!

When I was in college in Ohio, James was doing a concert at my university. While walking to one of my classes, Carly was out walking on the campus. I waved and smiled and she smiled and waved back. What a beautiful woman. She came out that night and they sang Mockingbird. What a great night!

[TSquare]

Excellent interviewer! He reflected back what she was saying and didn’t fill the space with his opinions! Great work!!👏

[barbarawillis]

Insightful interview. Dan Rather is the best. Carly Simon is very honest here.

[SD-coxe]

You aren't selfish to want someone who is emotionally available. That is a normal natural desire. Drugs and alcohol are the problem.

I used to sing Carly Simon songs to my son when he was little and going to sleep. I knew every word to every song so those were his lullabies ❤

[nistaever]

I just ignore my ex. Its been about 20 years of not talking or seeing each other and yes we have a grown child together. There's no need to put the lotion on Carly. Its over.

Carly, im scott..in the summer of 1974 you and james and the baby stayed at the holiday inn, in moorhead minnesota, where you were staying, while doing a concert..i was a day porter and brought a crib for the baby, where james helped me to set it up..then you walked in to the room and you said hi to me...he gave me a $2 tip..!

My VERY BEST memories as a child include music by Carly Simon. Dancing with my mom in the living room, and making my best friend’s waterbed after a sleepover. I’ll forever remember these. 💕💕

I met Carly Simon -- and she is a genuine person. My friend and I were on Central Park West and I saw Carly a block up and I told him that is Carly Simon. My friend was a tall nice looking guy and he suddenly started yelling CARLY at the top of his lungs. And she turned around -- we both laughed and he YELLED her Name again and she waved her hand for us to come over to her. And I said "what do we do" -- he said nothing and started to wave her at her to come to us and she started walking towards us. And when she got to us she said "I don't KNOW YOU" -- we both worked summers on Nantucket and she is totally Martha's Vineyard, but she did come over to Nantucket -- and I remember he just told her he remembered hearing her sing at a bar Nantucket and he said it was great. She was very nice.

[skylartoth]

They did an amazing job at singing Mockingbird together live
