Carly Simon - All I Want is You (Live on Letterman)

[Ubstudios]

bet the guy in the room below them couldn't sleep during the taping of this.

[timmmahhhh]

@sixtiesforever1966 Wow, not only anti-semitic but stupidly so. And Letterman is not even close to being Jewish.

[SantaBarbaraDianne]

for someone who once claimed to have severe stage fright she does an amazing job with her concerts--she often sounds better than her studio recorded versions

[rafhenlow]

proof again that there are idiots in the world, 3 thumbs down!, just what is their problem!!!, must be the same idiots who crop up all over the place.

Love this, singer & song!!

[jupiterscastle]

i bought this song on on 45rpm record when i was 13 brings back memories

[GeminiSeven43]

Isn't the guy sitting on the couch Mark Harmon?

[daveheel]

@GeminiSeven43 no, doesn't look like him at all.

[sydinsnoshoe]

@GeminiSeven43 LMAO!!!! Oh, thanks for a good laugh, Gemini. =)

[utgraddad56]

This is just great stuff - as a Letterman fan and a Carly Simon fan - I thought it was great way back when.

[ZXC5000]

she's gorgeous

[THEKEYWESTRIDER]

To my George, Love Pam...........

[bliss4jules]

Wow! Just stumbled across this, one of my favorite Letterman 'moments' through the years. I remember just feeling happy watching Carly sing this sweeping, joyful tune in an inexplicitly absurd setting. Never forgotten it.

[komodoman]

Why wasn't this potential hit a single? The video would've been so hilarious...! lol

[SterlingRe]

Carly has always been special. Do the walls come down, That's the way I've always heard it should be, The stuff that dreams are made of, All I want is you, even the played out Anticipation is a great song. Very talented and classy lady.

[musique1975]

This song is good . Carly Simon has one the best female around . Long time in the music business and till making albums . Keep up the good work girl .

[utgraddad56]

I watched this in 1987? - I enjoyed it then. Damn sure enjoying now. Carly - we all love you. All I Want Is You - Baby.

Remember Dave and Paul when the news goes off - send old Poncho and Lefty packing.

[revealer34]

Carly Simon is one of the most UNDER RATED singers of the last century. Her voice was pure magic and My God i was so in love with her. This is one of my top 2 favorite songs from her. The first one being her version of Comming around again from her concert on martha's Vineyard. Please someone post the whole concert. I am so sick of this copyright B.S. it's not fair to take away the music from people who really love it.

[deanriam]

@revealer34 What exactly is your definition of underrated? Countless hits? Grammys? An Oscar? Saying Carly Simon is underrated is a huge joke, she may not be the hot thing to newer generations, but that hardly makes her underrated.

[backbeat56]

Carly, The neighbors don't know shit. I still LOVE YOU!!

[shnooger]

LOL! Your comment made my day!

I love ya too, Carly!!

[pentaxy]

MACK-TRUCK-LOVING!!!

:-)

[brybean5]

Grate song!

[wutzernutzer]

Never mind...I read all the comments!

[wutzernutzer]

I just LOVE this clip. Does anyone know who the guy is that's just sitting there...the one with the salt & pepper hair and mustache? Too funny!

[dnantis]

THANX so MUCH !! This video i have love to see it again !! I lost this video clip when i got divorced in in the early 1990's and never thought someone taped it ! Unfortunately vhs audio was poor and i am guessing my recording should have been really hissy like this ! I'll try to improve this audio with the new technology these days ! I wish you had run this thru a mixer increasing the volume (gives more db's to work on !) then re-up ! But then again ... Thanx for this memory lane flashback !!!

[sharon69n]

this song is awesome

[carlysimonfan89]

carly is the best

[Christine1966]

i love this song........and in this time i was 14 -or 15 years......great song! thanks 4 posting this!

[carlysimonfan89]

happy birthday carly

[naga22041980]

sounds as if shes got a bit problems with singing high - perhaps she is in between mezzosoprano and soprano?

but - i loooooove her voice

[tall32guy]

That was a VERY small stage. LOL They hadda have the backup singers behind the couch!! LOL I wonder what was up with that. :)

[arleneveronesi]

Impressive performance true to the recorded version from "Coming Around Again" with the confines of a hotel room. And I loved the lone man seated directly by her with a very expressive-but-trying to be cool face staring at her statuesque beauty! Never seen this before, thank you

[jache77]

i love this song! thanks!

[vintagemike]

was the background singer on the left at the mv concert in 1987

[sliv812]

Does anyone know if there was ever a standard promo music video for this song that Carly's label (Arista Records) released around the time of this show?

[vintagemike]

no i don't think there was

[sliv812]

There were promo videos filmed for "Tired of Being Blonde" and "My New Boyfriend", but none for "All I Want Is You"? That just seems wrong!!

[vintagemike]

there was none for the stuff that dreams are made of either

[vintagemike]

the only video i can think of is the marths's vineyard concert

[furquinzinha]

antena 1

[vintagemike]

i hope carly tours again soon i would love to see her in concert

[google3847]

Why are they in a hotel?

[talkblahblah]

It's Letterman. Why the hell not?

[google3847]

How the hell should I know?! That's why I was asking.

[carpal346]

I LOVED THIS SHOW! Thank you for the clip. For what it's worth, I like this song even more than Coming Around Again. If anyone cares, the first guest on the show was Hunter Thompson.

[sliv812]

Dave had a smaller audience back in the '80s for his 12:30 to 1:30 am NBC show. They were able to take more chances and try different things. Times have certainly changed.

[cabsmellokub79]

@google3847 My guess would be because Carly has SEVERE stage fright and at this time during her career she would not perform live in front of large crowds.

[timmmahhhh]

@google3847 I remember another Late Night where they did the entire show from the green room. I miss when ths show was edgey like this, but he's still much better and far less scripted than Leno.

[ddee95]

this is great! I remember this song so well with fond memories. Thanks!

[vintagemike]

one of my fav songs by carly simon

[coreyblakedimension]

Nice! I never saw that before.

Do you have the segment after this? Was she interviewed?

[coralprincess25]

Dazzling!

[swampzoid]

wow. i haven't seen that since it was on letterman originally.

it seems that i remember that the man on the sofa was the lounge singer in the hotel. i love how the camera exited the hotel room window. it was all so groovy.

}}}} S W A M P Z O I D {{{{

[talkblahblah]

Nope, the sofa guy is just someone Dave pulled out of the room. Hotel's lounge singer came out in the very end.

[wutzernutzer]

Wow what a great clip! Love Carly Simon!
