#5: Carly Simon and James Taylor (1972)
Singer-songwriters Carly Simon and James Taylor met through the close-knit music scene surrounding New York and Los Angeles in the early 1970s. Their shared artistry sparked a quiet but powerful romance. They married on November 3, 1972, in a small ceremony that perfectly matched their introspective folk-rock image.
For years they were considered music’s golden couple, collaborating creatively while raising two children, Sally and Ben. But constant touring and personal struggles gradually pulled them apart. The pair divorced in 1983. Both went on to enjoy successful solo careers, with their music continuing to define the singer-songwriter era.
