Carly Simon has held on to the secret of who "You're So Vain" is really about for more than three decades, and is also living proof that a female recording artist can be smart, sincere and sexy, all at the same time.
Simon shot to prominence in the early '70s with big hits like "That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be" and "Anticipation." "Nobody Does It Better," the theme to the James Bond flick The Spy Who Loved Me, was her first of several big successes with a movie theme song.

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.
Simon tried to bring the same candor to "Christmas Is Almost Here," recorded with a minimum of frills by Don Was in Room 139 of Beverly Hills' Peninsula Hotel in January.

 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.

Carly Simon is an accomplished singer, songwriter, producer, composer and musician.

Carly Simon's self-titled 1971 debut album starts off with her first hit, the haunting "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be," which has the effect of making the rest of the album look weak in comparison.
Carly Simon's debut, in my opinon, lacks the polish (and the hit singles) of her later albums, but that doesn't make it anything less in the quality department.
Carly Simon's debut album, despite not being as popular as her later work, is really nothing less in the quality department.

 Robert Christgau: CG: Carly Simon
If Carly's college friends are already old enough to have alienated their children, her self-discovery program is a little postmature anyway.
Carly generally makes marriage seem both more boring and more nasty than I've found it to be, but not on this album, where matrimony is abandoned for more adolescent subjects.
In a way, this is too bad--if Carly were to come up with an interesting song about marriage, someone less conventional musically than Carly and Arif might cover it and give Carola and me something new to sing along to.

 Carly Simon
Born into the wealthy New York family that co-founded the Simon & Schuster publishing empire, Carly Simon developed her interest in performing as a young child - both she and her two sisters having been given ample encouragement from their parents to express themselves creatively.
Lucy subsequently dropped out of the duo to get married, and Carly - under the 'guiding hand' of Bob Dylan's manager Albert Grossman - continued on with an attempt at a solo album; although recording was completed and a deal with Columbia was in place, the project never materialized.
In 1968 Simon worked briefly as the lead singer for Elephant's Memory, a band that subsequently earned their fame as backing for John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

I regard "Spy" as Carly's most creative "concept" album, as well as one of the most musically compelling titles in her catalog.
Following the traditional romanticism and sweet reminiscinces of "Boys In The Trees," "Spy" represents an emotional progression that is surprising in it's clarity; in other words, if "Boys..." was a statement of marital solidarity, "Spy" is a reflection of her dissatisfaction with her role as wife and mother.
This is Carly's second project with producer Arif Mardin and her follow-up to the platinum-selling "Boys in the Trees." After the back-to-back smash singles "Nobody Does It Better" and "You Belong to Me," this album seemed poised for monster success.

 Spy by Carly Simon CD
An underrated album, thanks to its lack of hit singles, 1979's SPY is nonetheless one of the most intriguing items in Carly Simon's discography.
Forgoing both the singer-songwriter folkiness of her earliest albums, and, to a lesser extent, the jazz-influenced melodic sophistication which first showed up in 1976's ANOTHER PASSENGER, SPY is a tough 'n' tender pop-rock record, the missing link between the Carpenters and the Pretenders.
This is perhaps not the place to start if you're looking for another "Anticipation," but SPY is one of Carly Simon's best.
