Indeed, that life -- daughter of Richard Simon, co-founder of the Simon & Schuster publishing house; love interest linked to Cat Stevens, Mick Jagger and Warren Beatty; former wife of James Taylor -- and its play in the gossip columns have tended to overwhelm the straightforward honesty of her music.
Simon became a mainstay of the gossip columns thanks to some high-profile romances, including an 11-year marriage with James Taylor.

 Carly Simon
There's nothing cool about being a Carly Simon fan: her records are unabashed pop; her image is clean-cut but not campily so; she wasn't the first or the best-selling or the weirdest or the anything-est of the singer-songwriters.
Simon became an instant success with the single "That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be" (written with Jacob Brackman), a remarkably mature look at marriage that now sounds dated after the post-60s tide of high divorce rates and unmarried couples.
Also, Simon didn't have enough of her own material to fill an album, and the outsider contributions include spectacular failures like Mark Klingman's "Just A Sinner," though Kramer cronie Buzzy Linhart's peace and love anthem "The Love's Still Growing" is surprisingly credible.
