American singer-songwriter Carly Simon’s famous songs include “Anticipation” (1971), “You’re So Vain” (1972), “Haven’t Got Time for the Pain” (1974), “Nobody Does It Better” (1977), and “Let the River Run” (1988; from the film Working Girl), which won the 1989 Academy Award for best original song. “You’re So Vain” reached number one on the Billboard singles chart and sparked many rumors about the identity of the self-absorbed heartbreaker described in the lyrics.
