Who likes Carly Simon? (+ christmas treat...)

Carly have recorded a beautiful version of "let it snow" for the hurricane relief, you can listen to it here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/15902411/ref=amb_center-1_133151901_1cs/103-2137658-9501442

Carly Simon has one of the most unique voices I`ve heard. "Nobody does it better" is the best Bond song ever, and perhaps my favorite song by Carly Simon too, although "coming around again" and " you belong to me" are very special too, and who could forget "you`re so vain" music
Although Linda Ronstadt and Rod Stewart did good jobs with the old classics, Carly`s standards albums is still my favorites.

If anyone knows her 70s albums, please tell me your thoughts about them. What`s your favorite songs by Carly Simon?

When I was growing up, my parents were constantly playing the No Secrets and Coming Around Again albums. Not a huge fan of Carly, but these CDs really take me back to being young.

Do really love "Coming Around Again" and "All I Want is You", though.

Coming around again is a great song, and a great album. She sings "As time goes by" on it, and sing it well, i must say... biggrin

You're so vain
COMING AROUND AGAIN

You belong to me

Those are my favorites. Great voice and emotion in storytelling.

You`re so right, "emotion in storytelling" I love that biggrin
Her music is so special, i could listen to her for hours cloud9 I sometimes listen to the "my romance" album when i go to bed, the volume really low, so i have to concentrate to hear the lyrics. That always helps if i can`t sleep

I bought her "Anthology" and really dug it (especially the rare dance track with Chic, "Why"). Listened to it for 2 months non-stop. It helped me while I was working on lots of projects for school. Awesome voice and fine songwriting.

She seems like she'd be cool. Laidback, unpretentious.
