I'm making an eleven track studio album of original songs at the moment. Today I wanted to do a few bits of recording that I'm able to do in my home studio, that get added into the "proper" studio mix, but I spent the entire day doing admin for the album; emailing and phoning the musicians, producer, engineer etc to arrange recordings, payments, rehearsals, etc - a totally music-less day. I can see why musicians have managers! So feeling pretty frustrated tonight I picked up my guitar and just wanted to play and sing something, anything, that wasn't one of those eleven songs. I love this song - it's a real handful in every way, took me weeks to learn and it has totally gotten under my skin. I never tire of listening to the incredible original. I perform it live a bit but have never played it straight through without making a pretty major stuff-up - this time included! So I play it differently every time. A curly customer of a song but such a good 'un. I thought I'd press record, finally, for the first time today. It's just one take and as usual the song got the better of me but it's not the kind of song you want to perfect and fix, so I hope you enjoy it anyway. Thanks heaps for stopping by to listen. Steph :)

Carly Simon launched her solo career in 1971 with her eponymous debut album on Elektra Records that not only spawned the hit "That's the Way I Always Heard It Should Be" but also garnered her the Grammy Award for Best New Artist. She followed with a string of noteworthy albums in the '70s, including Anticipation (with the hit title track), No Secrets (featuring another hit, "You're So Vain"), Hotcakes and Playing Possum. Simon also had a hit single in 1977 with "Nobody Does It Better," a tune she sang for the soundtrack of the James Bond film "The Spy Who Loved Me". She finished the decade with another excellent recording, Boys in the Trees, which won a Grammy Award for Best Album Package.

Throughout the '80s, Simon recorded widely, as a leader (including her first album of standards, Torch), as a soundtrack composer/singer (she won the 1988 Academy Award for Best Song and a Golden Globe Award for "Let the River Run" from the film Working Girl) and as a guest vocalist on various albums with such artists as her-then husband James Taylor, Jesse Colin Young and Nils Lofgren. In addition to her critically acclaimed recordings in the '90s, Simon was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 1994 and an Honorary Doctor of Music Degree from Berklee College of Music in 1998. In 2006, Simon's Moonlight Serenade CD was nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album category.
