© Do Not Duplicate Video - Filmed at their home on Martha's Vineyard, Carly Simon and James Taylor are interviewed about their early careers. Also included, is their daughter, Sarah Maria (Sally) Taylor.
The interviewer is so polite and soft spoken. James' voice is so soothing and comforting and Carly is so stunningly gorgeous!
I wholeheartedly agree with you.
I think it’s ‘whispering’ Bob Harris?? Still on radio 2 in the uk
@@bexlocks It is and I'm glad he's still around
Stunningly gorgeous ??
You call a woman with the face & mouth of Mick Jagger & Steven Tyler gorgeous ??
lol...🤣😂🤧😄 !!
@@politicaloutsider413 TROLL ALERT
These sounds from Taylor and Simon are among my first and brightest happy memories. It may seem trivial. But there is a point in everyone's life in which we desperately cling to our childhood memories. Its easier to re visit the bright ghosts of music than to think of taking a single step forward into the blinding darkness . For some it is all the happiness there is.
We are from The Philippines, I love them both separately as musicians and watching this video and knowing the stuff they do during that time is priceless to me.
Thank you for sharing this video, it meant a lot to me being shared with something that fueled my inspiration as a visual artist.
i'm going through exactly what you described
Said so beautifully … it aches sometimes to move forward
What a beautiful way to put it! Apt and eloquently stated. I awoke today feeling nostalgic for a childhood that in many ways was brutal. But... I survived and I am now in my 50's. I am the example of bad times making you a stronger person. A cliche, but also apt in it's way. This vid came up on my feed and brought back so many memories. Music has been the one single thing in my life that has never let me down. I wouldn't be here without it. James and Carly were such a gorgeous couple and their music so very beautiful. This brought back good memories and feelings. I am most grateful for this respite. Bless
@David Fryer : Re: your comment 9 months ago on the thread of the Carly Simon & James Taylor interview on Marthas's Vineyard from 1977 : what a beautiful way you put meaning to the word "nostalgia" ; it was quite poignant. It touched me so much because I've experienced ( & continue to do so) the longing for the bygone Era they made their music in along w/my own personal memories & bittersweet longing(s). Thank you. Be happy. ❤
2 legends. Great times sadly behind us now. Loved the music and vibe of that time. It was so cool to be part of it.
James & Carly were so young and naturally beautiful voices.
Even when they speak, you can hear their singing voice.
Right? They talk like they sound, if that makes any sense. I would love to see Carly in concert.
Carly's my girl! She's one of my favorite singers!
Both of them are so talented and have given the world these treasures of songs. From my own brief encounters with both of them, they both seem to be very good people too. They are both very humble and seem to be very thankful. Such amazing talent. It just makes it more beautiful that they are loving caring people too.
I was on the vineyard many summers and one of them in 1980- James had a party and invited the whole island. It was an outdoor party and he played as long as his brother and sister. What a great time it was. Back in the day, it was all so innocent then.
For you young people about 43 and younger, this is how life used to be, people having calm conversation about normal lives. No technology, no politics, no whinnying or screaming about your lot in life or trying to bully the world into converting to yours, just calm respectful conversation about normal life.
I'm 42. We know. You need to talk to people under 30.
HOWEVER your other sentence is awful. what do you mean by screaming about your lot in life and how does that relate to this video? people have every right to confront racism, sexism, homophobia etc. every right. The only reason you don't want to hear it is you're probably guilty of it and you're likely privileged enough not to experience it. Lucky you but you're not going to try to convince people that they shouldn't have what you have. They have every right to shout for what they want. It should bother you that people who don't look like you aren't experiencing the same basic requirements.
'Bully the world' - yes because that's possible isn't it? Jesus Christ. Why ruin this whole video with your repulsive soapboxing? These two aren't affected by racism or homophobia so OF COURSE they're not talking about it. All we're seeing is a couple with babies. It still exists.
Times have definitely have changed the musician’s these days have nothing on these great musical 🎤 artist. True talent!
Exactly, and I just found a clip on here where she actually got onstage with one of the definitions of exactly that. Taylor Swift trying to sing along with true vocal, songwriting genius. I literally shook my head wondering why. 😕😳
There is amazing talent out there today! Keep looking, you’ll find it
@@paulmc3457 now find the clip of James and Taylor singing Fire and Rain..... and how each respect the other's genius....
I miss how natural and peaceful people spoke back in those days, somehow we became more loud and obnoxious.
r/lewronggeneration
People speak exactly the same these days.
@Barry Barry j by 7
It's so true! Why is that?
@@Skeptigal1 because you're only watching interviews with famous people. There were just as many obnoxious people 50 years ago as there are today.
@@Liface I disagree, yes there were obnoxious people, but people tended to be less loud and as obnoxious as they are today. I remember women spoke more softly and men were more quieter in a general manner. maybe it's where I grew up but I do remember it being different. I was shocked when I went to London a few years ago and waiting for a train and noticed how quiet everyone was, and not many people were on their phones. They were more contemplative than people in the US are. It's sad that we've gotten to this place in our culture.
Carly looks absolutely beautiful here, so natural.
Almost beautiful? She is way above average in beauty.
@@brotherandrew6227 She wrote "absolutely beautiful" not 'almost'
Brother Andrew can you read?
So does he!
Brother Andrew you are an idiot!
James Taylor is one of the few people who rocks a mustache without it looking dorky.
Yes.. funny was just talking about this..
Johnny Depp wears a mustache nicely as well.. xo.
What are you on?? mustaches are amazing
Alan Jackson certainly doesn't look like a dork.
But his hair looks dorky!
Burt Reynolds, not a dork
Carly Simon needs to be inducted into The Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame.
She needs braces lol
She finally got it
@@debeuleneareko6157 and you need an personality. you suck
@@piscesempress1978 You need to lay off the botox honey
🕵 It's unfair that Carly Simon only got inducted in 2022 when James Taylor got in 22 yrs earlier. IMHO he had only 1 really good song, Fire and Rain, and that was in the beginning of his career while she kept coming out with big hits like Nobody Does It Better, You're So Vain, Working Girl theme, etc. Her family was ahead of their time too. Her father was the co-founder of publishing house Simon & Schuster, and her family shared their home with Jackie Robinson and his family for a year and a half in the 1950s when racial tension made it hard for them to move to the suburbs.
He’s such an incredible musical icon, poet and musician! So is Carly..
Nobody is better than Carly. Not just because I was named after her. But her heart is truly pure and it comes out in her voice and what she puts in words! Wish I wasn't so afraid of love and was strong like she is.
There's a saying. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Love is so precious, and unique. It's a shame to not grab your chance at love when it comes to you. I think people think too much today. Every love is different and many kinds and types. You can love someone yet not be in love with them. No two are alike. Some are intense, to love someone else more than yourself. To the point that you can't live without each other. That is the greatest love of all. And no I wouldn't trade it for anything in this world. Yes, it hurts when they pass away and leave you behind. And no my heart hasn't healed and never will. Yet I would be sooooo happy to be in love again. You will yearn for it. And savor each and every little thing about it. All your special moments. Indelibly written in your mind, heart and soul. If you don't, I'm sorry for you. Cause you're missing out on life's greatest gifts. This is what life is all about. Think about it.
I fight the same thing... losing the independent way of life is what's tough. Carly Simon definitely has a great vibe and voice. No doubt
@@jillpeacock4540 Certain people aren't capable of companionship. It's just who I am. I gotta be a solo adventurer in life and I haven't found love with a woman yet that makes me want to settle down for the rest of Earth life. And it just became unfair to women to let them fall in love with me and then pull the plug after a year or less. So out of respect of women I walk my path alone now.
@@jillpeacock4540 agree with that but I am learning that sometimes you have to love yourself, I have spent 47 years giving unconditionally and now I have no choice but to love myself if I want more quality years on planet earth, you end up totally empty and exhausted otherwise
Carly was a good person, never heard anything bad about her.
James Taylor and Carly Simon are amazing singers !!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Wow, what a power couple, so much talent in both of them.......
Such a magical duo. Musically and in so many ways.
Soft spoken James Taylor, just as his music is too. Sweet.
OMG Carly was so incredibly beautiful!
She still is all that and more..
She is so amazingly talented!
She is
He was so good looking
and now he is bald
john doe ;
Still good looking, just not young anymore.
Which one? They all are?
If you’re into narcissistic drug addicts with sunken eyes then sure, James looks good.
James Taylor has such an unusual sounding voice relaxed beautiful sound !
Carly and James were/are 70s folk & pop royalty. American songbook. This interview is a sweet slice of their early parenthood. Glad I stumbled on it.
The 70s were GREAT. .. I really miss the great music of those years.. A lot of these older rock stars are 15 to 20 years older than me... I grew up with them.. when Gregg Allman passed away and then Tom Petty.. John Henry Bonham of Zeppelin (and OTHERS. . of course.. ) .. it just really took a hunk out of my heart.. in a way they were like family... :)
Darkstar Hoskinson
Totally agree with you.
Agree...music is my identity in that songs written and the times they are released I relate to in whatever I am going through....2016 was horrendous... Take me back to the days of real music. Can heal you and soothe your soul.
i agree as a child way back then - and the movies back then were fucken awesome
Darkstar Hoskinson
We the baby boomers had the best era of freedom, music and just having a great time.
However, not forgetting the Vietnam war, the assasination of the Kennedy's, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King.
The music of the 60's, 70', 80' and 90' was the best era.
The music, the girls today with tattoos, botox, false nails and hair extensions makes one cringe...
Stay safe and stay healthy
Australia 🙂🙃
@@avengernemesis7990 AND THE DRAFT
Whoe doesn't love James Taylor??
And Carly?? My God what a beauty and awesome talent too!!!
And this is what talent looks like, folks.
Carly and James made a gorgeous couple...
They did. Carly wrote in her autobiography that they first met on Martha's Vineyard when they were kids, like 12 or 13.
I'll have to Google why they split ? : (
honeychildlor He was doing a lot of drugs back in those days.
Or if you have the time, Carly's autobiography gives the whole story (from her perspective anyway). Bonus: if you listen to the audiobook, there's a lot of cool musical interludes between the chapters: some archival, some new. Carly also narrates the book and she has a lovely and soothing speaking voice. Spoiler: James had a young Asian girlfriend, that + his ongoing drug problem pretty much ended their marriage.
Beautiful and talented!!!
He was handsome, she was gorgeous and sexy and beautiful baby, makes me sad cause I want them (and me!) to stay young forever but time moves on ....♥️♥️
her sisters were the lookers.... even the Dad said so and even said it right to Carly,,
Do I know you? It sounds as if that were me talking! I feel you.
Completely agree. This is the way life is suppose to be. Young man,youngvwoman and baby. Its the most natural order of life. How we are MEANT to live. That's why it looks and feels wrong when you see women who could be grandma's with babies of their own or pregnant because they decided to wait on kids and put career first, or these old men trying to land 20 somethings and becoming first time dads in their fifties. How times have changed.
@@_AnniesDragon_ What's your point exactly? My mumwas 39 when she had me and my brother and she has been the best mom you could ever ask for. Just because you're older when you have kids doesn't mean you can't be a good parent. Also, not all women want to have kids, nothing wrong with that. To each their own.
@@kreri8129 never stated older moms were lesser parents than younger ones, but the fact remains that biologically womens bodies weren't designed to start families at 39 and beyond. More power to the women who defied nature and went on to have their families and be awesome moms. But it's still doesnt change the fact that young adults are physically better suited for procreation.
I saw an interview recently, a long time after this, and James admitted he was in no condition to be a good husband or father at this time in his life. He's clearly evolved as he's aged and owns up to the error of his ways. 👍
Cynthia Dickerson who hurt you?
it's called growing up
never really cared for his singing either

Duke Of Guybourg the lady speaks a truth of not all but many many men.
Such a beautiful couple.Good songwriters, Good singers.
Wow I never saw James Taylor this young he’s so handsome!!!! And Carly is very pretty! And I love how their little girl is humming in the background she’s sounds so precious and innocent ❤️I love that!
If you look at the album cover for Sweet Baby James, you'll see how lovely he was back in the day.
@@marshabailey1121 awesome I will now!
@@marshabailey1121 wow he was a hottie lol 😂 wow
Sooooo love this! Blessings to them and their lives now.
I just love these two, love !!!! James Taylor & Carly Simon are forever in my heart and God bless you always !!!!
Some beautiful people in a beautiful time. I was young learning chords on an acoustic guitar. There were so many artists that I wanted to follow. Both James and Carley were in my record collection.
First, I want to go back in time!! I love the 70's- music, social vibe, simplicity.
Then hearing and seeing them, so lovely.
After I saw another one of your videos with them, I was thinking if they had any children together and thought they had a son. Maybe one each then....
Oh this interview makes me homesick. I'm from New England in CT. I actually spent summers on the Vineyard in Oaks Bluffs in the 90s. My uncle& aunt had 2 summer homes there. One year my family and I rode over on the ferry and Suzanne DePasse and her mother were on board. Another time Spike Lee was on the ferry when my cousin rode over. My uncle's other home is in Edgartown not far from where the Kennedy's have a home. One summer when we were riding around in open jeeps we went by the Kennedy home and they were having this lavish lawn party. It was great. I miss those times and they seem so long ago. I'm in NC now & came here via living out near Seattle, WA which I lived out there for a few years also. I haven't been to the Vineyard in years. One day I'll get back there, but New England winters are cold. Brrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! James and Carly are awesome artists, songwriters and vocalists. Would love to see James live. I grew up on their music.
Love this couple so much..their music makes a legend all hits and beatiful records.
He couldn’t find a job because he didn’t have papers, so he made a record. Amazing. It’s so interesting how things were back then.
Thanks for posting ✌️❤️
being just a teen during this time.....the music was untouchable !
Mrssea Sea RIGHT?!
The 70s had such great music!
Love his playing the guitar , his voice , really good music .
I’ve seen all of them on the Vineyard - in the supermarket, at the beach, at a house where I was working, at several concerts 😊
Carly has the most beautiful smile ever!
Not IMO... her mouth is too big. Seen much prettier!
@@resireg She had recently found this out yes. Maybe that is where her talent came from. Still really attractive.
I agree!!!
No way
Massive gob.
Wow...thank you for sharing this w/ us! Thank you!!!!
I love this!! And what a cutie little Sally was!!
This is precious and Carly is so beautiful. ❤️
James & Carly both excellent artists, very sad they 💔 up. Drugs & youth and growing apart and going different directions. Beautiful 👨👩👧👦!❤️
These videos are lovely of James Taylor and family!💜
I brought my first ever record of his, ‘you’ve got a friend’ I loved it. 🥰
To all those who idealize these times...James was a hardcore heroine addict and "free love" meant he was constantly bringing back STDs. And she was a co-dependent with daddy issues. They both wrote books, I propose you read before romantasizing that time
buzz kill :)
They were both soooo good! I miss the young James.
Sally was the most adorable kid ever!!
Just finished reading her autobiography, and wow, what wonderful people and artists. Apart from the obvious musical creative talent they both had, she also struggled with a terrible stutter all her life. Love you Carly and Sweet Baby James.
O
she was ,and is,a better artist. I hate drugies, all the good ones gone, drugs, they mess up a woman too, thank God she did her no matter what, he wasnt that great
James Taylor has such a soft and calming voice. Always loved his music, and still do. Irs a shame that they split up. I'm glad he got over his drug problem.
Dag, Sally was in a content mood that day :) And the parents were great with her during the filming.
Wow! How much more do I NOT know? James Taylor taught me how to play the acoustic guitar. I could play every song on his first record "lick for lick" and it taught me how to play. To this day, I give credit. Never, EVER knew the "Beatles back story", but WOW, doesn't it make sense? Ooh, what a lucky man, I am! Apologies all around!
Carly and her sister Lucy did duets, too. Lucy wrote music to some children's poetry and they did an album of it, finally now on cd, too. Love it. Great duets and single numbers.
I met Sally in Colorado in the late 90's and she was extremely sweet and humble. Just a beautiful woman that, not surprisingly, looked like her MOM
James in 1977 pining for the good old days!
The clip just oozes estrangement. You can see a clear and present resentment James resonates towards Carly. It’s as if; he feels inadequate in comparison to her success? Perhaps this had only reinforced a significant number of infidelities; as justified? WOW!
Was never aware of Taylor’s isolated and yet; self-gratifying character until watching this significantly reserved chemistry between the two.
Good observation..agree
I went to his concert in 1976. Enjoyed it a lot. That is 41 years ago! Time flies when you have fun.
45 years now
@@freddytw206 Yes - time flies...The older one gets, the faster.
Hard to believe that these two musical giants where together at some point in time
I remember bc when they sang Mockingbird together
Love them both! My beloved Randy, Rest in Peace, performed with Alex Taylor several time! ❤🎶❤
Ahh, youth, artistry and beauty. I had it once...!
A beautiful interview.
Clips of Carly Simon and James Taylor during their marriage must be enjoyed by their adult children to this day. Thanks for posting.
I grew up in the 70s went to high school with my sister. l miss my family things are changed so much
"Anticipation" heinz ketchup commercial in the 70s, on the radio/TV non-stop, who could forget??!!
She's what I consider a woman . Classy, beautiful and has talent. Not a tattoo to be found! Nice 😁
Pj Durkin $ucking people are plastered with nasty tattoos I want to 🤮 when i see the
Yes, no tattoos and elegant!
It’s womAn, not women.
@@LeftHandedAquarius Indeed and yes I went to school
Isn't Carly from the Simon and Shuster publication fortune?
Simon is her Daddy
Sally is a beautiful woman now. 47 years old and a singer and songwriter like her incredibly talented parents. ❤️
As is her brother Ben who is 4-years younger.
Who knew they had kids? Amazing
Whispering Bob HArris. A British icon!
She is so...so...so gorgeous. Unbelievable
This is when James was a serious heartthrob. If you were a teenage boy in the late seventies, you couldn't escape the smart, hippie girls swooning over him.
What a gem!! I love this!!! Their music was so amazing!!
These people sit around and talk and they are just like us. Then they pick up an instrument and start singing and they become Gods from another realm. Human talent is truly amazing.
I knew James Taylor from the movie ‘Two lane blacktop’. A real cult classic/car movie. Years later I found out he is a singer too. I like his music.
God, I'd love to be back on MV for a while.
Such a great interview.
Sad it never worked out for James & Carly.. seemed a perfect couple.
Look at they’re faces/ so
beautiful!
Carly is beautiful person and has a beautiful heart...
I love them both
Beautiful and talented people. Where has all the music gone?
I remember many years ago she talked about their breakup. She just really needed him there with her more, especially when little Ben was having kidney problems, and he just couldn't be, not like she needed him to. A really trying and scary time for her.
I was really young. But I remember. James Taylor. A d his Album cover. Mud, slide Slim. I was thinking. Look how Smooth this Dude is.
have all of James Taylor cds love him x
james Taylor.I have a Daughter named Sara Maria because of your song.I never thought you have a Daughter named Sara Maria ..I discover this today 6 of june 2020...for me this is a beautifull discovering.I am a admirer of your music..(From Protugal)
Jesus Christ sent Carly Simon as a gift for all to listen to her angelic voice. She is by far the best female vocalist of our time in my opinion of course. But anyway God bless you Carly and thanks for all of the amazing music😊😊😊
Thank you for that video it was really awesome to see James with Carly and to see his beautiful expertise in an interview however I would really love to see the rest of the story.!?
Girls were so much more natural then no body piercing tattoos, false other parts
Marian Russell And that is a beautiful thing.
James Taylor has some of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. I love his voice and style ~ and Carly I love her beautiful voice and she’s so beautiful and classy! Love folk music ✌️❤️
Not to mention James Taylor had a full head of hair at the time and a moustache.
It's funny how life can take you down so many roads and the lucky ones, like James, find the absolute perfect one for them. God bless.
First time I've seen this! Thanks J T for all your music , he is what he is for me at 21 in 1971 his songs were always in my head and I usually go to his gigs ( speaking from the wet & rainy side of the pond ! )
thanx Tony
A soulful comment, so true.
Carly Simon,James Taylor and Neil Diamond….love these 3 forever!
What a Beautiful lady she is ! She still loves James . She said it’s a happy Love for James .
Love both of them.
I wish someone could unearth James Taylor's late 60's performances on Bobbie Gentry's B.B.C variety show. The audio exists and is superb. The B.B.C syndicated the series sending black and white kinescope copies to their Commonwealth partners( they did not receive color television until the 1970's) so it could very well still exist. Bobbie Gentry had talent and good taste giving a young Elton John and James Taylor some of their first television exposure. I was thrilled last year when the B.B.C rebroadcast the four surviving episodes that included The Hollies and Donovan.
Too bad they couldn’t make it last. They look so perfect together and their daughter is beautiful!
I met Peter Asher, very lovely guy. I love seeing this footage as I remember it all back in the day, even when he was with Joni. It is sad it did not last. James now says it was premature to be married so young. Maybe for him, but not for Carly or myself. I think that is a cop-out. I still love Carly and James' music so much, still listen happily.
What is really sad is that James Taylor no longer talks to or about Carly. It's as though she never existed or was a part of his life. That's what l have heard anyway. He seems to have a big grudge.
If by big grudge you mean big EGO... yep.
JT is much more handsome than I’ve ever seen ..shew!!
