I got to record a vocal session of her for the song "Tired of Being Blond" and she sure lived up to exactly what she says here... "There is something treasurable about everybody". She was genuinely warm and a pleasure to be around.

[ricksegal]

Love both Carly and Dan Rather's interviews.

A born story-teller and musician. Hope Carly writes more books about anything, her intellect & wisdom are TREASURABLE. She is a Treasure.

I remember my brother playing her songs in his room in the 70s. Wow wonderful times.

[LandRunProductions]

I really hope that folks that suffer from a stutter happen across this.

What a wonderful and practical technique.

[talatzubair]

Listening to her songs since the 70's but come to know about the gem of a person she is, decades later.

[sethwetzel]

I love her with all my heart!!! She's awesome!!!

Carly was blessed to have a mother like that in her life. Her mother's love couldn't fill the hole her father left, to be sure. Yet, her mother was so attentive where it counted. Those little tricks like "Pass the butter" come from a mind often orbiting whatever it took to make her children grow strong and loved.

[bobsmithers]

I still sing this song today! Amazing!

Carly’s heart is in a box with her thoughts and disappointments of a life driven by talent and thirst for achievement! I enjoy her voice and the songs from the box!

[elisaorozco]

Carly is not only amazingly talented. She is also very

[shirleyharris]

How awesome to see Dan, a true legendary professional author and reporter! So honest filled with love and compassionate talk with Carly!✌🏽💙

[EarInn]

She comes across as warm and utterly unpretentious, someone you could easily sit down and talk to.

[GroovyShelly]

Dan is having a GREAT time! (Can't blame him. Who wouldn't want to hang with Carly Simon?)

[artsygirl]

I just heard this song on the radio yesterday, a classic ❤ ... as I was trying to sing along very tone deafly in my car 😅

[peterraymond]

I've had a speech impediment where I get stuck on words, specifically hard consonants, since childhood and one thing I used to do is stamp my foot to get the word out. My parents hated that and accused me of "inventing" that method much to my chagrin. It's similar however to your mother's advice. And, yes, people also urged me to "sing my words" as that as we know is also a common trick.

[RosieZephier]

I absolutely love this lady and her singing i like to meet Carly in person someday

[jjfalarka]

What an incredible woman . I could listen to her all day long not to mention her singing
