Carly is the daughter of Richard Simon, cofounder of the Simon & Schuster publishing house. So she was raised in an affluent and well connected family. She would know many famous and "vain" people with private jets. 🤣 But her talent carried her to her own success and fame as one of the top singer-song writers of the 70's and beyond.
She was also married to James Taylor.
Vanity has zero to do with wealth or fame.
Also, if it doesn't have an 'E' on the end, you don't pronounce the name "Sim-Own".
@@mattlaeff724He was trying to guess who would both be vain and have a Leer Jet
Warren Beatty's sister is Shirley MacLaine and apparently their mother was from Nova Scotia Canada so that could explain the Nova Scotia connection. Perhaps Warren and Shirley still have relatives living in Nova Scotia, cousins etc.
She's never confirmed it, but actor Warren Beatty thinks this song is about him ✨
So she was right! 😂
Because he's so vain?
She confirmed only the second verse was about Warren in 2015, stating the first and third verses were about two other men. The song is about three separate men.
@@shelleyjackson8793 Carly Simon confirmed to People Magazine that the second verse is actor Warren Beatty. The rest of the verses are about 2 other men.
@@d.kyrstede3556 That wasn’t what I meant, it was just a joke that Warren thought it was him, because of the line I Bet You Think This Song Is About You, hence I said so she was right then. Just humour.
Carly Simon writing songs about her exes before Taylor Swift was even born. Also, congrats on the new baby (soon)!
Amen-great point--plus carly can sing about 100 times better than TS.
Well she not only performed it, she wrote it.
I love her live duet with James Taylor on Mockingbird. You see a fun side of her
That's another great song! ❤️
Yes, that was the love of her life, I remember James saying about their relationship Angry man Hungry woman, James had a lot of issues back then.
"You can close your eyes," is another good duet the two did together.
Yes yes yes! Mockingbird, live with James Taylor at the No Nukes concert, is a MUST! The most fun video ever!
@@rse4379
The best imo (The Old Grey Whistle Test recording)
so she used to be married to James Taylor, and there's a real fun video of both of them singing the song Mockingbird.. it just makes you happy.
Retired biker here. We had a brother that as soon as he came on the block the girls would start singing this. He never got that we meant HIM. In his defense, he's blonde.LOL.
😄😄😄
" That's the Way I've Always Heard it Should Be" best song ever
Agreed ❤
"That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be" can hit hard, too.
She wrote her song "Anticipation" while waiting for Cat Stevens to pick her up for a date. It too is a great song. Not bad for a woman that suffers from severe stage fright. An uncredited back up vocal on this song is Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones.
2 fantastic singers!
I've seen many people interviewed over the years that are part of the Rich and famous the most educated guess is she was writing that song about Warren Beattyof course I'm not part of the Rich and famous so I can't vouch for that
AND IT MADE A DUMB TV AD GREAT. [ HIENZ KETCHUP ] EVERTIME I SEE THAT RED BOTTLE, I THINK OF CARLY (and this song)..
"You Belong to Me" is a heartbreaker. Makes me 😢
Yes, that's SUCH a sad but great song!
Simon, not Simone. Same as Paul Simon.
You mean its not simoan!..you should have broke the news the song is about Warren Beatty...pronounced Ron jones.
Thank you, I came here to say that 😂
Or like Simon and Schuster, which is her family. She's a trust fund baby.
Simon sounds like sigh-mon
Same here.
Sigh-mon
The song is written about the actor Warren Beatty. My son works at the horse racetrack in Saratoga Springs New York that she refers to. It's the place where potato chips (Saratoga Chips), carbonated spring water (Saratoga Spring Water in the beautiful cobalt glass bottles), and the club sandwich (double decker turkey sandwich) were invented.
I know over the years there's been lots of speculation but it really does seem to be about Warren Beatty. She has in recent years claimed it wasn't about a particular person but that's probably just deflection...
LIke "Simon says."
@@rossmacintosh5652 She said its about 3 men and named Beatty as one of them.
@@TheTaffia I imagine one of the other men would be James taylor, but I don't know who the third one would be. But the physical description and mannerisms suit Warren Beatty to a T. James Taylor has spent a lot of time in Saratoga Springs, performing every summer at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center open air theater. But he's not exactly the rakish hat and apricot scarf type.
I think it may be about two or three different men. I don't think it's a coincidence, either, that Mick Jagger is singing vocals. Can't see prep master Warren Beatty wearing an apricot scarf and his hat dipped below one eye.
"That's the Way I always Thoight It Should Be" live at that location
The song is about 57 years old, I remember first hearing it in 1st Grade. The Dude was thought to be Mick Jager, Warren Beatty, or a few others. She dated many of the Jet Set of the late 60's. She still holds the secret.
A few years back, she confirmed the 2nd verse, "You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive," was about Warren Beatty but not the entire song.
Mick Jaguar actually sings back up on this song….listen close and you can hear him 😊
Released in 1972
She came out and publicly revealed the song was written about three separate men. She said the second verse was written for Warren. She has not revealed who the verses one and three were written about, and they might not even be famous.
Hell yes, the James Bond theme “Nobody Does it Better”
Warren actually thought 'the song was about him' (laughing). After it released he called Carly and said "Thanks for the song"...
Carly and James Taylor live mockingbird duet great reaction
She was married to James Taylor, when this song came out everyone was wondering who she was talking about. Anticipation is one of her major hits.
You're a stand up guy. It's beautiful being able to reflect & see things from the past in a different perspective that comes with age & maturity in life. Appreciate your candidness. 🥂
Carly's albums basically played on repeat for those of us coming of age in the 70's. She was one of our heroes. There are too many of her hits to mention. Legend in Your Own Time, Haven't Got Time for the Pain, You Belong to Me, Do The Walls Come Down, All I Want is You, Anticipation, Nobody Does it Better (Yes, a James Bond movie song)
Simon wrote “You’re So Vain” after a break-up with Warren Beatty, an incredibly famous actor, in the early ’70s. The song is said to be a reflection of the men she dated, some of them among the biggest names in music and Hollywood.
Carly finally revealed that the song is about Warren Beatty, but only partially. Specifically, the second verse:
"Well, you had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
When you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me"...
Only the second verse is about Warren…she hasn’t said who(m) the rest is about.
@@snikkerr1949 That's exactly what I said (laughing)...
She said it was written about three separate men, with only the second verse being about Warren.
Warren Beatty's sister is Shirley MacLaine and apparently their mother was from Nova Scotia Canada so that might explain the Nova Scotia connection? Warren might still have relatives in Nova Scotia, cousins etc.
@@donnajean3202 Good insight Donna Jean; sounds like a possibility...
Carly Simon "COMING AROUND AGAIN". (original video) 🔥
I like the mash-up with itsy bitsy spider intro ... and the childrens chorus in that version.
❤️❤️
If this song makes you feel something, just watch the live performance of That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be.
I HIGHLY recommend the version from the Good Vibrations from Central Park that aired on ABC in 1971! Stunning.
(And you'll get a glimpse of George Harrison and Art Garfunkel chatting to the side of the stage as she walks on.)
There's also a fun performance of Carly and, then husband James Taylor, singing Mockingbird at the MUSE No Nukes concert in New York City in 1979. You'll see a different side to her!
In 1978 I named my daughter Carly after Carly Simon❤️
I have every CD of Carly Simon!
It's the player's emotional carelessness that cuts.
Also a Carly song called "Anticipation"... Which you might recognize from an old ketchup commercial!
She is also an heir to the "Simon and Schuster" book publishing company. Definitely brought up in high class society. Great song. Great to hear it again. She's so talented. And beautiful. Good for you for acknowledging your past behavior. Not uncommon among some of us guys. Also glad you have changed for the better. Awesome.
She grew up rich but isn't an heiress. Her father died in 1960 when Carly was 17. She was left 60k$ from the 1 million her father received after selling his stake in the company. Adjusted for inflation, she received around 600k USD in today's $. That's a healthy inheritance, but it's not like she was Alice Walton (Wal-Mart) or Françoise Bettencourt (L'Oréal) type of heiress.
Another great Singer/ songwriter of the seventies.
The greatest music of every type was the 70s. ❤❤ This One!!
And her husband in that time period was also a great singer/songwriter!
We had the best music #Fightme 😂
Your face when she sang, “or the wife of a close friend, wife of a close friend”… priceless 😂
How about anticipation and that's the way I've always heard it should be❤❤❤❤❤
NOBODY DOES IT BETTER a James Bond theme belongs to her.
YOU BELONG TO ME,
COMING AROUND AGAIN,
THATS THE WAY I ALWAYS HEARD IT SHOULD BE,
and BETTER NOT TELL HER are songs to investigate from Carly Simon. She is the daughter of Richard Simon. One half of the book publisher Simon and Schuster. She has two sisters. Carly used to perform with one of her sisters as a duo act before going solo. She is a very gifted writer and musician who flourished during the singer-songwriter period in the early 197o's.
She vowed to never reveal who this song is actually about, she said that the mystery is what keeps it popular
In August of 2015 the songstress agreed to reveal the identity to the highest bidder of the Martha’s Vineyard Possible Dreams charity auction. The winning bid came as $50,000 from Dick Ebersol, a friend of hers and the president of NBC Sports. Winning the right to know the name, a condition of the prize, was that Ebersol never revealed it to anyone. She did say 1 person was Warren Beatty.
Warren Beatty
@@bella-xp7qd I heard the other was Mick Jaggar who is actually sing the backup vocals on the song lol.
Everyone knew
@@debbylou5729just one verse is about Warren.
I grew up on Carly Simon. One of my most favorite of her songs is Let The River Run.
I'm so glad to see you're doing a reaction to Carly Simon. Hopefully it will lead you to James Taylor and Carole King. The three of them individually put out amazing music around the same time and I do believe Carly Simon was married to James Taylor for a while if they weren't married they we're a couple and I believe they have a son as well in the music industry
Carly finally admitted that one verse in particular was written about the actor Warren Beatty. To prove her point about him being vain, she said only one verse was about him. But she then reiterates he probably thinks the whole song is about him, because that’s how vain he was. Genius. Thanks for the great reaction. 👏👏🥰
You've probably heard "Anticipation" it was in a ketchup commercial. A later song is, " that's the way I always heard it should be.""
At one time we were all young n dumb, it's called growing up and learning. I grew up in these times and i LOVED ALL THIS KINDA MUSIC and to watch you react to it is GREAT... Thank you.
"Haven't Got Time For The Pain" is one of her best!
Congratulations on your family's newest gift ... Mom and baby are going to be just fine..
Such a good song! Yes do more Carly Simon please! ❤
Part of the allure of this song, was that she kept the person it was about secret for many, many years. Some said Warren Beatty, some said Mick Jagger. She was also married to James Taylor. We're pretty sure it wasn't Mick Jagger as he actually sang back-up on the original recording of this song! It is one of the most cleverly-worded songs ever and Carly is one the best female singers of the 70s and into the 80s. I hope you check out more of her stuff. For something fun, find Carly and James Taylor doing "Mockingbird" live.
One of my favorites by Carley Simon
She did a charity event a while back where she auctioned off “I will make you a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and tell you who Your So Vain is about.”
She also tells a story of a rich girl who is disillusioned with marriage "That's the way I always heard it should be." The situation may seem unfamiliar to young people today, but in the late 60s and 70s women were just starting to break out of identifying only as "mrs" someone.
❤I love how you revisit songs and listen to the lyrics with matured ears. Then you are completely honest with your thoughts and feelings. ❤
Carly Simone 😂lol😂
Roundabout by YES ✨️🎶✨️
I'm 80 years old and in my 80 years . I've learned is that sometimes hopefully we learn from Mistakes . Sadly I know from experience .😢
1. Great reaction, this is what music is supposed to do, when it is good! 2.She nailed him down. 3. next, AN ABSOLUTE MUST, Thats the Way I Always Herd It Should Be
Your honesty and vulnerability on this reaction were refreshing.
She’s been my favorite since about 1974 when I was 14. Still my favorite.
Sometimes you meet someone and even if they leave you never stop loving them....ever
This is from a free concert she did for the residents of Martha's Vineyard.
studio version has Mick Jagger (Rolling Stones) on backing vocals
That is one of those things that you can go years and years never noticing... but once it has been pointed out it is so obvious and you cannot unhear him ever single time the track plays.
mega phenom songwriter, like bob dylan she wrote many songs that were hits by other artists
That’s the way I always heard it should be. Some of the best lyrics ever and incredibly moving and evocative. You won’t be disappointed
I gotta get my daughter to listen to this so I can hear her long distance screaming IT'S SIMON SIMON SIMON
I've always loved this video because I think it's such a beautiful location for a concert
Martha's Vineyard, I'm guessing.
@@markdecker6190 I thought maybe so but I've never been to the east coast so I wasn't sure... thank you!
@@hopeklemann1 It's where she lives actually!
@@markdecker6190 thanks Mark I appreciate you
Carly Simon is part of that great group of female singers of the 70's.
Yes the Lear Jet was owned by David Geffen of Geffen Records.
Coming Around Again is another great one.
Carly writes, sings & plays the piano. Blessed with one ofvthe most powerful female voices. And she wrote & sang hit after hit.
Check out:
* That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be
* Legend in Your Own Time
* Anticipation
* The Right Thing to Do
* Nobody Does It Better (theme song from a James Bond Movie)
The irony is that the song IS about 'him'. I love Carly Simon, one of the all time greats!!!
Carly's Let the River Run !!!!!!
“You gave up the things you love
And one of them was me…”
Saddest line ever written.
I love how you can look at yourself and be open about it.
A platinum record and fame and fortune are the best revenge. Not to mention you get to make the buzzard feel like something that sounds like a ship wheel every time he turns on oldies.
On the studio recording of this song, the backup vocals are provided by Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones.
Rumor has it that some of it was about Warren Beatty, maybe some James Taylor. Amazing song. Glad it touched you.
Deep rabbit hole for this glorious hall of famer!
Carly Simon has hit after hit, after hit! Extreme talent! ❤
I love Carly. She's simply an amazing talent.
BP, Think Simon says. Lol! As others have said, some of the song is about Warren Beatty but Carly refused to answer that question until he book came out. Just in case you're not familiar....he was a huge Actor back then and dated many starlets. Think Tom Cruise level from the 60s to the 80s. He married Annette Bening in 1992. But before he was a player's player. I think he was on more National Inquirers than many others. Just check out his Wikipedia. But Carly says it's about 3 guys so....
He was George Clooney before George
"I probably think this Song is about Me"...🤣
lol!
I like your response to this song. You live, You learn. Very insightful
Anticipation another Carly classic
Ahhhh. Carl's tribute to Warren Beatty
Carly Simon is a favourite of mine along with Carole King so yes Definately need more!
Love this song.
She is an amazing singer/songwriter! I love this song! You’re a good guy, we all did stuff we aren’t proud of but we grow we get older and try to share wisdom we have acquired along the way! ❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
I heard that “You’re So Vain” was written about Warren Beatty-not sure if it’s true. I love Carly Simon’s music! Anticipation, The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of, Coming Around Again, etc. She had many hits. She did a duet with James Taylor, Mockingbird. Thanks for doing your channel. Love it!
Awesome love this song thank you for posting❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well done! I thoroughly enjoyed this one. It still plays often in my truck’s music system. Carly has exuded class for decades. Collaboration was so much easier in the 60s and 70s. All of us who love music benefitted greatly from these nearly spontaneous songs and performances. Thank you for helping keeps so many great tunes alive.
Best wishes with the birth of your daughter this week. I have 2 sons and a daughter, all married, and they now have brought us 3 grandsons and two granddaughters. Life is great even when it is difficult. I know you get that too my friend.
I love her song, The Carter Family. She is amazing. One of my favorites for 50 years.
Great reaction to a great song. She has large amount of songs.
There’s an old saying about children. You’ll teach your sons how to protect themselves but you’ll jump to protect your daughters yourself. It’s a totally different mindset.
Her album Tapestry is probably one of the best albums ever, period.
Tapestry was Carole King
Now this is what I'm talking about. I love Carly Simon.. how about a little? Carole King
I love how all these songs you react to małe you reflect on your life and experience. You always find something to relay to, and find a link to the song and the singer
Please react next to Carly's songs "Haven't Got Time For the Pain" and "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be." And also "Mockingbird," a duet with her then-husband James Taylor, which they performed live at the No Nukes concert in 1979. They are having an absolute ball performing this song together.
One word: respect. You really brought honesty and humanity to this reaction. Good deal! Be well.
Fantastic song, I'm sure I had the single bought way back in 1972! 😊😊
My favourite Carly Simon song is "I've Got To Have You"
Love her!! I watched an interview that she did once and she mentioned that she had a stuttering problem as a child. Her mom would encourage Carly to basically "sing" the question because she didn't stutter when she sang. I thought that was very interesting. There may have been other things to help overcome that, but singing is what she specifically mentioned. Beautiful and talented!
70s rocker here , always liked her stuff. She came out and said this song is about no one in particular. The rumor was it was about Warren Beatty, but she says not in particular just that type.
she probably has one of the beautiful voices i’ve ever heard 😮💨😮💨
You are going through so much growth and kudos for you for doing it in the public eye. You never know who you're gonna help.
Carly is yet another STAR..MEGA STAR of the Seventies…..it would take years to cover the Greats of the Rock decades.
..
Carly & James Taylor were married in the 70’s & performed together many bangers. Mocking Bird is fun.
OH my gosh!! I am so glad you reacted to this song. This is a timeless song - love it. And the subject of this song was a closely guarded secret for a very long time. Carly refused to divulge who it was about and speculation ran wild for decades. Eventually it she said it was Warren Beatty. Can you imagine? Hearing this song, the details, knowing it about you, but only Carly and you know it's about you? Savage.
More Carly Simon! 🙏She has wonderful classics!
