Carole King & James Taylor: Just Call Out My Name

The show is mainly a massive, warm comfort blanket, full of love, friendship & great songs. Taylor & King are true legends of popular music -as well as being thoroughly decent people - & it is great that they are still with us & were able at the time of the 2010 concert footage to put on a superb show.

The band was awesome too. Leland Sklar was an unexpected bonus.

No expert in autotune, but it becomes a bit obvious on King's voice midway through the show, mainly on her sustained notes. No obvious stepping to my ears, just a nasty metallic quality, betraying the presence of digital manipulation. Once you notice it you can't unhear it & there is a lesser hint of it in Taylor's vocals. I suspect it wasn't musically necessary - no real sense that King was struggling to hit the notes - so I'd put it down to poor judgement on the part of the musical director.

I love both their music. I've seen James Taylor live (Carole is still bucket list) but my god the autotune was way too heavy. Part of why I love 70s music so much is that raw, intimate, natural and imperfect sound of the singer-songwriter's voice. There is something so close and intimate about it. It touches my soul.

I know autotune has become the norm for post-2000 musical artists, but hearing that sound applied to James' and Carole's music was disappointing. No one wants to hear the "Glee" tv show version of their music.

The actual documentary parts were enjoyable, but all of the 2010 live performances were ruined by amateurish pitch correction on both of the vocals. Carole's voice was perfectly fine during that tour, but it's been edited so much that all of the humanity has been removed. It's one thing to clean up a live vocal for a movie like this, but this is just sloppy.

I might be biased but these people are my age and still sound like they did 50 years ago. This is what music should sound like. In the 70s these were at the top of the charts. There is no aging of the music or the songs. May they live forever. Bravo.

The blend of James and Carole is as inspiring as it was when I got to see them together in 1971 in college. Their talents mesh perfectly and they are having as much fun at what they do now as ever. They remind me why I fell in love with their style of music decades ago- and never got tired of it!
