    such a duet. James, the introvert folk singer who really clearly likes to sing with his wife. Carly in performance, the complete opposite, like she could be Mick Jagger's sister. Carly's solo songs as a singer and song writer, are magnificent . This is so much fun. Guaranteed to make happiness on this one.

    This is the No-Nukes concert performed over 3 days with an unbelievable lineup. Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Carly and James, Bonnie Raitt, Poco, Doobie Brothers, Tom Petty, Jesse Colin Young, Dan Fogelburg. There is a movie if you want to hear the interviews.

    You absolutely HAVE to listen to more Carly Simon. If I was going to pick one song that identifies her extraordinary skill as a song writer, I would suggest "You're So Vain", followed by "I Haven't Got Time For The Pain" and "Nobody Does It Better."

    The band was called The Section. (Danny Kortchmar, Lee Sklar, Russ Kunkel, Waddy Wachtel) They played w/so many artists- Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, CSN, & of course, James Taylor & Carole King (that's how got together as a band)
    Carly didn't tour due to terrible stage fright. I've never seen her live. James Taylor does love to tour. I've seen him over 20 times & will be seeing him again in 2 weeks. If you want to see James rock out there is a video on youtube: James Taylor-Steamroller at Blossom Music Festival. Also, show from 1979.
    I hope you do more from James Taylor's and Carly Simon's catalogues. So many great tunes.

    James Taylor was one o' the first artists signed to The Beatles' Apple Records 'n his only album on that label (James Taylor) is an absolute classic. I'm-a-gonna recommend a track from his third album, one o' my favorite James Taylor songs...You Can Close Your Eyes.

    Yes absolutely, I had a celebrity crush on Carly Simon from this performance , mainly a crush on the way that Carly looks at James. In a similar vain is Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi and their performance of Anyday by Derek and the Dominoes at Eri Clapton's Crossroads festival. Susan Tedeschi is a very accomplished guitarist in her own right, The way that she looks at Derek Trucks when he plays totally melts my heart . I believe that this performance was when they were newlyweds and the way she flirts at him with her eyes in priceless.

    Not sure who was there but toward the end of the dance break you can see bassist Leland Sklar who played with James and Carly for many years. (Time 4:40-ish of your vid)
    Some CS hits to check out...
    "You Belong to Me", "We Have No Secrets" (about a late night talk with James before she left for London to record the album of the same name.), "The Right Thing to Do", "Legend in Your Own Mind", "Anticipation", "Nobody Does It Better" (Theme to the movie, James Bond- The Spy Who Loved Me), & "Coming Around Again" (It was for the film Heartburn in 1986. Never seen so have no reference, but the lyrics feel like she used her breakup with James as inspiration. It was only a couple years after when she wrote it. She and he had two small kids at the time and the reason for the split was she wanted him home instead of always out touring. Not saying it was but in my head that makes sense.)
    Love both of them so definitely do more from Carly and if you get past the blocker bots, some more James. Big catalog from him.
