Love this old song......♥

[unorthodoxmuse]

I remember watching this on tv.

[ramrod20042000]

Luv this song from the 80's! I have not heard it in years, it brings back a lot of good memories.

[PungiFungi]

This song was one of the few standouts from that awful album "Come Upstairs", of which my brother still have a vinyl copy.

[christina1276]

We all have loved a Jesse,I played this 45 over and over as a kid.Loved it!!!

[billjessrubyflynn09]

[Mr78Aussie]

[DaveWollenberg]

[SteveSparx]

4 JESSI

[MercuryWahWah]

It looks to me that the guitar strumming on the Video is off from the song.

I'm gonna intention on leraing the song.

[MsJenniMarie]

oh god i was about 5 or 6 when my mother bought me this 45...i played it over and over again on my little portable record player...man i would sing my little heart out....haha....ah to be young again....

[pmoskoso]

so, Jesse was an asshole, but she loves him, great!

[seekah1]

@pmoskoso lol, it is sad how women can remain with a "Jesse" but that is the point of the lyric.

[sixtiesforever1966]

@seekah1 Jessy,  That works both ways.

[HEARTHEANGELSVOICES]

THIS SONG SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED - OUT OF MY LEAGUE OR I WILL THROW MYSELF AT YOUR FEET FOR YOU. NOT JESSIE. MAYBE EVEN MESSIE WOULD HAVE BEEN APPROPRIATE>

[ChrisCurtisFan]

Is there a woman out there who can't relate to having a Jesse in her life?!

[MultiSnotface]

is this steve tyler, lol

[blackhawk10972]

Sweet song - reminds me of my youth.

[ourlighthouse9]

absolutely wonderful.........love it!!!

[ftsjr]

This song was released at a very special time in my life. I'd just been discharged from the US Navy, and a new chapter in my life was beginning. Also, it was the beginning of a great new decade (1980s). I was lucky enough to see Carly perform this live, at Jones Beach, NY in 1995.

[Qwertyphoto]

LOVE THIS I remember my mother singing this song my mother has since passed but this song will always bring a tear to my eye and a smile in my heart

Long time Carly fan here. She has a wonderful voice. This is a great live recording. Thanks for posting.

[coquimontes]

[conradsdad]

The opening song when we saw her a few years ago. Knocked me out.

[barriosur1]

muchas gracias !!!

[toddnevinsable]

Love it :) Thank you !

[bigkat398]

She is 70's HOT!

[roctex]

@bigkat398 Had no idea she was in her 70's and suffered extreme HOT flashes.

Women have it hard... :(

[bigkat398]

@bigkat398 She is the hottest singer from the decade of the 70's

[gilhernan]

I have used this beautiful song to teach and reinforce language skills in English as foreign language (EFL). It is very useful. This is by far a hit that will always be remembered.

[wurtheringflights]

@craigperryrfc why did you remove your comment you little pussy?

[howaboutanother]

call the dogs off, this is vintage material. Preserve this in a time capsule. A.Y.F.K.M this is 70's personified, props to posting this Gem.

[MsCymbalCrash]

I always loved this song! I remember when it first came out, it was on the radio all the time. Is Carly lip-synching here? If she is actually singing live, her voice is still incredible! Love it . :-)

[loui33]

great feeling & lovely voice

[mydevilcat]

yes...........

[qg9985]

I heard this song first in 1982 when I was a freshman but I didn't know who the singer was and what's the name of this song. The melody is fluent and unforgettable and I have been searching for this song since that time. So contented that I finally see the video. What a wonderfoul feeling of a destination come true after 28 years!! Thanks for posting.

[BernardProfitendieu]

@qg9985 searching for a very well known song for almost 30 years and just finding it now?!!?! something tells me you didn't look all that hard!

p.s. if by some chance you've been looking for a song since 1972 about a guy being so vain, I'll give you a hint: it's by this same artist! happy hunting!!

[Nfirstmom]

@BernardProfitendieu So, funny, LMAO at your response.

[roctex]

@BernardProfitendieu Leave him alone. It could happen... :(

[fatvinnydabully]

i never realized how pretty Carly Simon is...absolutely stunning!....smokin bod as well

[bikermusic]

el tiempo no tendria que pasar nunca

[hoosierdaddy92]

saw her at the gorge--unbelievable

[rowan759]

Carly, I have been listening to your music since I was 8 years old. I am 44 now and still listen everyday. I think you are the best singer/songwriter/poet in music. I wish I had been in Grand Central that day.

[ftsjr]

I saw Carly in 1995. This is the song she opened with. It was a terrific concert.

[AMASSEY1000]

I named my maine coon after this song - not particularly after any part of the lyrics, but just that I love this song and when I got him - Jesse came to mind. My favorite CS song. I got the 1st release. Never saw this video - thannnnnk you for posting!

[iw32]

Sandra Bullock won't cut fresh flowers for Jesse anymore either!

[livinginwv1998]

@iw32 that is too funny! thanks

[livinginwv1998]

@iw32 that is too funny!  thanks

[tongtong168]

she sounds bit like MJ at the begining. I dont kow do you agree?

[dorkfish615]

my dad sings song to me all the time

[babajohn0]

My little sister Marcella loved this song and she had the 45... this made me remember her and how cute she was when she danced to this at 7 years old. How cute!!

[LordSexCR]

Grandiosa

[fairfax1960]

I love this song and the wonderful feelings it brings back. Thanks for posting.

[ChrisCurtisFan]

Carly managed to get it right where it struck home.

"Let's open the wine and drink to the heart which has a will of its own"

Sometimes the heart overrules the head and we want to be with people even though we know they aren't good for us and don't treat us with the respect we derserve.

[chatsy00]

excellent...!!!

[TheTarrzan]

that would be Carole King ??????

[altheacstar]

QUESTION: Does anyone know who sings this song> I don't know the title or the artist. any help info would be appreciated. The chorus goes: "It's to late baby now it's to late we really did try to make it something inside has died and I tried but I just can't fake it". Geeze, it's on the tip of my tongue...please help

[TheTarrzan]

I believ that is Carole King???

[altheacstar]

Thank you!!

[cazzerrella]

That feeling is a group of hormones designed to make us mate. Its not what long term relationships are about..

We always grieve for what we can't, couldn't have.

whose to say that "special "person would have stayed with us or vise versa forever.

Fantasy.

[SpruceRidgeInn]

Why do we all have that "someone" that no natter what - through time and distance - that one person makes our heart race, our palms sweat. Share your story, so I know that I know I know that I am not alone.

[abdog89]

the worst part is some of us never get that feeling back and we go through life looking for that person who will make us feel that way again, all for not. I still think of that person and wonder where they are now.

[1959landress]

i know what you mean no matter how long its been from that special person its still the same fillings i no what you mean ive been there to loved someone special and lost him.

[wannasaleen]

You are never alone. GOD is always wherever we are. CARLY DOES IT BEST!!!!!!!!

[shrinkquit]

What a fabulous thrill to find this song-thank you!

[Bellicose27]

September 1980

[freshvisionmedia]

I was a kid and used to try and sing it... But I always thought it was sung by a guy... WHOOPS..!!!!

[laarbe]

I remember this song as a child and have always loved this song Jessie. I always thought Carly Simon was so cool. Thanks for the post and the memories.

[VashtiInez]

What a superb performance! I don't usually like live versions, but wow, I'm impressed!

[titaniclady1]

A new guy at my job has this name and this song popped into my head after not hearing it for a couple decades! This was one of my mom's favorites. Thanks for the memories.

[darthhvader]

she sure does have some great songs!

[xochari413]

this is a good song!

[miracledrug5150]

Wow still great after al these years. NOBODY can write or sing like this nymore

[blueeyescryin718]

This song was playing the first time my ex and I "kissed" in august 1980. 1 marriage and 4 retrys later. this song REALLY has meaning. He is My Jesse LOL

[islandbee]

LOL My name is Jesse and was a little kid when this came out. I would get excited when it came on the radio. This boy from 1st grade even sang it to me. One of my managers even sang the Rick Springfield song "Jessie's Girl" to me. Those were the days for music!!

[AuroraABC]

islandbee, sorry I gave you thumbs down; it was an accident because I meant to give you a thumbs up!

[islandbee]

s'ok I gave you a thumbs up to counter it :)

[AuroraABC]

And now that I'm on a different Youtube session, I just gave you a thumbs up to erase the thumbs down. : )

[Hillbillyratno7]

i love this song so much

[heavymentalskillet]

carly simon thank you for sharing your gift with us

[theponykid]

Ah I love this song so much! :D

[s0che]

wow ca me rappel beaucoup de souvenir ca!

[statewhiteboy22]

I love this song. I like to replace "jessie" with "jacki"--the girl that did me wrong. Thank you, Carly!!

[maleman131]

This has always been one of my favorite carly songs, she really is great.

I wish it was a little easier to find her on youtube.

-Luke.

[Bellicose27]

September 1980!

[YoScooby]

This is a much faster version than on her greatest hits CD.

I've always admired Carly Simon. She sings with so much feeling and heart. I love the way she reaches down deep at .49, and rocks out "how he cut out my heart, like a paper doll."

[TheRealLaraCroft]

fab post - thankx : ) x

[iucoltsfan]
