  • Carly Simon is not only a gifted singer/songwriter, but the woman herself is a Queen! God bless her, what a beautiful soul. I'm grateful we've had her as an example of goodness and love.
  • I had often heard that they were competitive between each other but with that said, they are two timeless classics that have changed the music world for the better and they are both legendary in their own ways. Wish music could be that way in today’s world ❤❤❤

    Music isn’t the same today. We get songs about sex and how hot they are. The music back then meant something!

  • Music can really heighten the romantic feelings in a relationship, when both people love it and play instruments, sing, or get involved in some way together. Music bonds people.
