Carly Simon e James Taylor close your eyes

[char4him99]

They sure made great music together!

Joni Mitchell was the only one who could sing THIS song with James. Just recently saw James reunited with Carol King. Great show but as a Joni Mitchell freak, I would have loved to see her too. Wish she was into it and never smoked camel straights to change her vocals so drastically. I am still hoping.

@leighsharon1 I'm a longtime fan of Joni Mitchell and I just listened to the performance of Close Your Eyes with James. Her voice is soaring and clear, but I like this performace best...Carly's voice blends so seamlessly with James's.

[annawesson]

they were good together

These harmonies must make God, Himself smile! What a shame talent like this is so hard to find now. Not that it's not out there, but without a viable recording industry ( i.e. profitable,therefore functional) so many artists are never given the chance for their music to be heard by a mass audience. Both Simon and Taylor had numerous Top 40 hits, but this was at a time when the charts were loaded with variety. The top hits now? Ugghhh! American F-ing Idol? A way must be found to sell music!

@dadeeo44 Half the people who are "stars" today couldn't even get a record contract in the Seventies. Back then you had to have actual talent.

We are all responsible for our own actions. She may have been a significant motivating force however. This duet is so beautiful.

Did he sing this with all his women? He was with Joni Mitchell doing this before Carly! Poor Carly got him all herion addicted.  Thanks to Paul McCartney for "discovering"' and recording him.

[busterbobby]

@digby33 I presume you're joking, but poor James was all heroin addicted long before carly came along. Love him and all, but an addict he's always been.

Carly looked so much better back then. she had some weight on her, she needs more weight to even out her face.

[art4stacy]

Aw,those two. Wow,this video is really interesting. I mean,where was this made?

[simmo303]

Looks like a BBC programme from the 70s

"Looks like a BBC programme from the 70s"

Yes, it was a segment from the Old Grey Whistle Test (OGWT), a program that was initially on BBC2 and ran from 1971 to 1987.

Does anyone have the rest of this clip with Bob Harris interviewing them in the fabulous wooden "castle" that James (with a little help from "No Jets Construction Co" ) built for them?
