Carly
Elisabeth Simon (born June 25, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter,
musician, and children's author. She first rose to fame in the 1970s with a
string of hit records; her 13 Top 40 U.S. hits include "Anticipation",
"You Belong To
Me", "Coming Around Again",
and her four Gold certified singles "Jesse",
"Mockingbird" (a
duet with James Taylor), "You're So Vain",
and "Nobody Does
It Better" from the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who
Loved Me.
After a
brief stint with her sister Lucy Simon as duo
group the Simon Sisters, she
found great success as a solo artist with her 1971 self-titled debut album Carly Simon,
which won her the Grammy Award for Best New
Artist, and spawned her first Top 10 single, "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be".
Her second album, Anticipation,
followed later that year and became an even greater success, earning Simon
another Grammy nomination and later being certified Gold by the RIAA. She achieved
international fame the following year with the release of her third album, No Secrets,
which sat firmly at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for five weeks, was certified Platinum,
and spawned the worldwide hit "You're So Vain", for which she
received three Grammy nominations, including Record of the
Year and Song of the
Year. With her 1988 hit "Let the River Run",
from the film Working Girl, she
became the first artist to win a Grammy Award,
an Academy Award, and a Golden Globe Award for a song composed and written, as well as performed, entirely by a
single artist.
Over the
course of her career, Simon has amassed 24 Billboard Hot 100 charting singles, 28 Billboard Adult
Contemporary charting singles, and won 2 Grammy Awards, from 14
nominations. AllMusic called her
"one of the quintessential singer-songwriters of the '70s". She has a
contralto vocal
range, and has cited Odetta as a
significant influence. She was inducted into the Songwriters
Hall of Fame in 1994. In 1995 and 1998,
respectively, she received the Boston Music
Awards Lifetime Achievement and a Berklee
College of Music Honorary Doctor of Music
Degree. She was inducted into the Grammy Hall
of Fame for "You're So Vain" in
2004 and awarded the ASCAP Founders Award
in 2012.
No
Secrets is the third studio album by American singer and songwriter Carly Simon,
released on November 28, 1972 by Elektra Records.
The album was Simon's commercial breakthrough. It
spent five weeks at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart and quickly went Gold,
as did its lead single, "You're So Vain",
which remained at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for three weeks, and topping on the Adult
Contemporary chart for two weeks. 25 years after
its initial release, the album was officially certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on December 12, 1997. The album is ranked number 997 in All-Time Top
1000 Albums(3rd. edition, 2000).
We have
no secrets
We tell each other everything
About the lovers in our past
And why they didn't last
We share a cast of characters from A to Z
We know each other's fantasies
And though we know each other better when we explore
Sometimes
I wish
Often I wish
That I never knew some of those secrets of yours
The
water was cold
The beach was empty but for one
Now you were lying in the sun
Wanting and needing no one
Then some child came, you never asked for her to come
She drank a pint of your rum
And later when you told me
You said she was a bore
Sometimes
I wish
Oft' times I wish
That I never, never knew
Some of those secrets of yours
In the
name of honesty in the name of what is fair
You always answer my questions they don't always answer
my prayers
And though I know you say that it's me that you adore
Sometimes
I wish
Often I wish
That I never, never, never knew
Some of those secrets of yours
Some of those secrets of yours
Some of those secrets of yours
We have no secrets
Telling each other most everything now.
