Program Description

Event Details

In the early 1970s, the singer/songwriter ruled the radio: Carole King, Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell, Cat Stevens. But the era’s ultimate power couple was husband and wife James Taylor and Carly Simon. Using performance and interview clips, we’ll trace the arc of their careers from “Fire and Rain” and “You’re So Vain” to “Shower the People” and “Coming Around Again.” The marriage didn’t last, but the hits sure have! In honor of its 50th anniversary, special attention will be given to Carly’s #1 hit “You’re So Vain.”
