Ralph Lauren Romance Commercial - Ben Taylor Thierry Pepin My Romance

Ben Taylor sings on the commercial for this popular fragrance staring Thierry Pepin. Carly Simon said on her website:

"My voice was added onto by Ben's for the Ralph Lauren 'Romance' commercial. Then my voice was eliminated and Ben carries on alone into the future. I don't know what the status is of our duet. It was pretty fun at the time.

I love singing with Ben and Sal. Family members tend to have the same inflections and phrazing. Ben and I seem to have similar overtones and harmonics in our voices and blend almost as one voice. Love, Carly - 5/8/04"

First time I heard Ben Taylor's paternal-enhanced smooth vocals was on Carly Simon's spectacular release 'Letters Never Sent' in a 30-second song she wrote and can't recall the exact title but it left such an impression that when his CD "Famous Among the Barns" hit my city, I bought the first one. No regret.

@HisChamp The song was called "Time Works On All The Wild Young Men" and was indeed spectacular!

Time works on all the wild young men,

The ones who went for soldiers,

The ones who reached for fame,

The ones who swore they’d die for love,

No matter what the shame,

Time circles ‘round them snuffs their spark,

And there they are... Dancing in the dark.

Lovely... :-)

thats james taylor, not ben

[danielkerryann]

It certainally sounds like James, but it's definately Ben... The original commercial was Ben & Carly in duet - This is a trimmed down version.

A member of a popular Ben Taylor forum asked him at a show if it was him... he said yes, and was flatered that someone had recognised his voice. Similar to his dad's, but distinct.

Ben Taylor should have been in this commercial.

I loved this commercial when it was being broadcast. And the male model, Thierry Pepin, looked superb in it, right? Now, about him being a high end escort? That has never been proven. Remember the rule: Believe NONE of what one hears and ONLY half of what one sees. I have only seen him around town with his girlfriend, and he was dressed down and very casual, hardly the look of a high end escort, n'est-ce pas?
