Carly Simon is 76 today – born in 1945, in the Bronx, NYC. Sure there’s no need for elaboration – she’s well known for those clouds in her coffee, and nobody did it better for the Bond franchise! She was married to big brother James, but she and Livingston Taylor are better friends and musical collaborators. There are also the famed Mick Jagger and Warren Beatty connections of course. Singing and songwriting was a way of processing trauma for her – starting sadly young. She was the first artist ever to win a Grammy, Academy and Golden Globe Award for a song composed, written and performed entirely by themselves – that was for “Let The River Run”, from Working Girl. She’s also written several children’s books and tried her hand at acting.
