For me personally, this is like asking "Does anybody remember the time Stevie read "The History of Concrete and Watching Bricks Dry."

In other words, Of COURSE! . . . .

It looks like it was fun to do the video though with all the wigs and makeup/wardrobe changes. There's a special place in my heart for this song.

She loves posting vlogs on YouTube, and by the looks of it has very little plastic surgery.

I know I'm going to get virtually slapped for this... but I'd never even heard of Carly Simon before thi sthread. I feel left out.

Aren't you 15? If that's the case you aren't expected to know who Carly Simon is.
Still I bet you've heard You're So Vain, even if you didn't know who it was by. It's a song that is still played all the time today, in films and on the radio.

Ok good, I'm legal lol! And that's often the case with older(ish) songs. I've heard them so many times... but I don't know their name or the aritist. I've definitely heard Close Your Eyes though. My mom's a Linda Ronstadt freak!

I just looked up the song. It's my parents' iTunes library. Seriously? I think I may need that virtual slap! Anyone care to give it to me?

Okay, so while going through boxes of stuff to sell at my grandparents' house, I came accross a Carly Simon tape and snagged it. It's greatest hits live or something. I have to travel down to the basement to listen to it. Because the only tape player we have is in my future car.

*Edit* Ooops, the only OTHER tape player we have is in my future car. Don't worry you guys, the car's not in the basement!

I like Carly's music too. I have a 2 cd GH of her's....I should find some of the older ones....I didn't even know she'd put out a live GH.....gotta check that out.....I hope she makes it too.....

[Brwn_eyes0511]

I wish Carly the best with this whole situation. Her new album came out this week.. I really like it! Here she is on TODAY this morning with John Forte! This is pretty awesome.

i.m.o. she's VERY much worth checking out!

A good sampling to search for on Youtube would be "Anticipation," "You're So Vain," "Letters Never Sent,"
"Mockingbird," "Touched by the Sun" and "Born to Break My Heart."

"You're So Vain" has a lot of fun speculation attached to it -
some of the lyrics are, "You're so vain: I bet you think this song
is about you." The two "front-runners" for who it's about are
Mick Jagger and Warren Beatty. (Most fans think it's Beatty.)
There was once a contest where she whispered who it was
really about in the winner's ear. Naturally that person had
to sign his/her life away before hearing it!

Anyway she's a "must not miss" i.m.o. There's a whole treasure trove of wonderful music from Carly Simon!

If I remember correctly the winner paid $50k to charity to learn who the song was about.

The more I think about this the more I think boo ****ing hoo. Get some ribbons and some bows and get back out on the road! She could get a therapist to help her with her stage fright.

I have Carly's greatest hits and I love it. Her music is featured in Little Black Book and I like how they used it. Brittany Murphy also did a decent job singing her stuff a-capella.
