One the most achingly haunting songs I've ever heard. It makes me tear up every time.

"I guess the 70s weren't so bad."<br>Are you kidding?<br>The genius in the music back then will likely never be matched.

This is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. I remember hearing it when it first came out. Her voice, the melody, the chords. Oh my!

In 1977 I started work in the airline industry for a now defunct small airline in Boston, that served the towns and cities of New England, Cape Cod, Nantucket, and Martha’s Vineyard. At this time both James Taylor and Carly Simon had separate homes on the Vineyard. He was going through a functional heroin addiction. Many times at the ticket counter , I would write his tickets, run his AMEX, to fly over. He said very little, always had on sunglasses, and wore a long raincoat, and a fedora. On 4 to 5 occasions Carly would also fly over, every encounter she was absolutely sweet as pie. I don’t think she was aware of how beautiful, and famous she was. She grew up wealthy from her father’s publishing house. But never had airs about her. … IMO this is her best song out of many best songs… great reaction 👍

How this song hasn't been in a movie or brought back to life in some form or remade from the 70's is beyond belief. It is a masterpiece.

The female singer / songwriters back then blazed the trail for the decades to come. Carly Simon, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Melanie others were all brilliant. Performers like Linda Ronstadt also blazed a trail by taking control of their career rather than let record company execs dictate to them what they shall sing. Ronstadt beat then all down, every decision she fought for was absolutely right. she sang every style perfectly and with innovation.
