February this year, Carly Simon performed in Cutting Room in New York with her singer-songwriter son Ben Taylor and their pal, David Saw.

It was an intimate live performance, wherein the night had the feel of a Greenwich Village coffeehouse circa 1965, full of songs and innocent fun and none of the trappings of the cynical marketing of acts today. It was refreshing. And all they had were acoustic guitars and a beat box for a drum. The single show was sold out in three hours, with people standing wherever they could find room, where she was joined on stage by her former sister-in-law, singer Kate Taylor, for a  rocking version of Neil Young’s “Only Love Can Break Your Heart.”

She and her gang were to the ’70s and ’80s what Alicia Keys, Rob Thomas, John Legend, John Mayer and Norah Jones are today — just more so.
