Özet

Simon's memoir reveals her remarkable life, beginning with her storied childhood as the third daughter of Richard L. Simon, the co-founder of publishing giant Simon & Schuster, her musical debut as half of The Simon Sisters performing folk songs with her sister Lucy in Greenwich Village, to a meteoric solo career that would result in 13 top 40 hits, including the #1 song "You're So Vain."

She was the first artist in history to win a Grammy Award, an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award, for her song "Let the River Run" from the movie Working Girl.

The memoir recalls a childhood enriched by music and culture, but also one shrouded in secrets that would eventually tear her family apart. Simon brilliantly captures moments of creative inspiration, the sparks of songs, and the stories behind writing "Anticipation" and "We Have No Secrets" among many others. Romantic entanglements with some of the most famous men of the day fueled her confessional lyrics, as well as the unraveling of her storybook marriage to James Taylor.

Includes original music composed especially for the program by Carly Simon and Teese Gohl, plus a previously unreleased bonus song from Carly Simon.

Occasionally (some might argue often) an audio comes along that is better than the print version—and this title definitely qualifies.--Starred Booklist Review

Very well written and read by the author herself for the audible version.
I feel I know Carly Simon after reading this book as she is very open about her life, warts and all!

Beautiful book.

The music in the background is absolutely beautiful! But i usually listen at 1.8x and it just made everything muddy. Beautiful story though, Carly has such a wonderful voice i could listen all day!

Listening at a faster speed is not recommend

As a lifelong lover of Carly Simon's music, I was given this book as a gift. I expected to enjoy it- but I had no idea of the challenges which Carly had to endure and overcome. The book completely blew my away. It was beautifully crafted and provided insight to what must have been an extremely difficult life at times, although mixed with times of joy and happiness.
After finishing the paper copy, I bought the Audible version and it brought the book alive. It was wonderful to listen to Carly narrating it. I found myself listening to it as slowly as possible, rationing myself to a few chapters at a time, to avoid reaching the end too quickly.
I would recommend this book to everyone- as there is something to learn for any person in this fantastic book.

One of the best I've ever read.

Loved this book. The music was too loud though. At times it was difficult to hear Carlys narration.

Fascinating
