"Mockingbird" is a popular 1974 duet by Carly Simon and her then-husband, James Taylor. A cover of the 1963 R&B hit by Inez and Charlie Foxx, the song is rooted in the traditional lullaby "Hush, Little Baby". It peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard pop charts.

American singer-songwriters and husband-and-wife duo Carly Simon and James Taylor recorded a remake of "Mockingbird" in the autumn of 1973, and the track was released as the lead single from Simon's fourth studio album Hotcakes (1974).

It was Taylor's idea to remake "Mockingbird", which he knew from a live performance by Inez and Charlie Foxx at the Apollo Theater in 1965, and which song Taylor and his sister Kate Taylor had often sung for fun as teenagers.

The song features a notable lyrical adjustment by Taylor, keyboard work from Dr. John, Robbie Robertson's rhythm guitar, and a tenor saxophone solo by Michael Brecker.

Here is my cover of it. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for your listen and comments.
