The Best of Carly Simon

Amazon.com
Almost any way you look at it, the Carly Simon of the '70s was pretty cool. Her acerbic wit and nasally expressive voice had people comparing her to Carole King, but there was also a weary androgyny to her that wouldn't be seen again until the arrival of Chrissy Hynde. Her songs rocked without quite being rock songs, and were folk-evocative without falling into the singer-songwriter bins. She scored multiple singles hits yet pulled off albums with the best of her contemporaries. This is an early collection, so it misses "Nobody Does It Better" and other later hits. Regardless, nearly all the songs here are worth having. Flavorful and nourishing--and a good package, besides. --Gavin McNett

Album Description

Import pressing features 'Why' as an additional bonus track over the US version. The first and still the best of the many Carly Simon compilations available, 1975's THE BEST OF CARLY SIMON is an all-meat, no-filler collection of most of the folk-pop singer/songwriter's best and biggest songs. Looking over the track listing, one is reminded of just how many classic songs Simon was responsible for in the early '70s. "That's the Way I've Always Heard it Should Be", "The Right Thing to Do", "Haven't Got Time For the Pain", "Anticipation", and of course "You're So Vain" still sound remarkably solid. This is particularly impressive considering the amount of radio time they've all gotten in the intervening decades. Simon's husky voice and smart, piano-based arrangements don't sound nearly as dated as those of many of her contemporaries, and while THE BEST OF CARLY SIMON may qualify as a guilty pleasure in some minds, it's a pleasure nonetheless. 11 tracks. Warner.

The Best of the Best...............2007-07-05

This wonderful album came out a number of years ago as a compilation of "Greatest Hits" from Carly's first five recordings. It is every bit of that...prime Carly, at her VERY best. The two BIG HITS are here, of course [if you don't know what I'm talking about...Sad...Very Sad], along with some other great material. AND, an album cover that's gorgeous, without being controversial.

Of course, we know that this isn't the end of the story...the past 30 years have seen a lot of fabulous recordings by Carly [see "Reflections"], but here is where our love affair started. We were all younger then, and sometimes it's nice to think back...

Some of you are like me, and have ALL of Carly's recordings. I do, and still I listen to this, even as I also listen to the full albums from which these selections were taken. But, for the others, you may well want to start right here. You'll see what we, the initiated, have known for 35 years. And you'll be happy you did. Promise.

Carly gets you dancing in a new attitude!!!.......2007-01-11

Carly Simon remains one of the greatest singers of the 20th century and she continues her work even today. Her voice is strong, rich and full of energy; and the musical arrangements for her songs are brilliant. This album contains many of Carly's earliest runaway hits and these songs remain as fresh as ever. This CD proves it; and it brings back fond memories for those of us who danced through the `70s, too.

The album opens with "That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be." This song deals with female depression as a result of antiquated expectations for a woman to settle down, marry young and have children. Carly also plays piano on this track as does Paul Griffin. The melody highlights the woman's disappointment about the direction she feels she "should" take in life.

The CD switches gears rather quickly; the next song is the much happier "The Right Thing To Do." Here Carly's character is passionately in love with her man as she celebrates each moment they spend together. "Mockingbird" is another song with a strong beat and musical arrangement. James Taylor sings with Carly and this is a real treat! Some reviewers write that they did not expect "Mockingbird" to be such a success for Carly Simon; and I agree with those reviewers. However, Carly could do anything at this time in her career and the song boasts a great musical arrangement with Dr. John on piano and organ. The vocals are very strong. Excellent!

In my opinion, "Haven't Got Time For The Pain" remains one of the most triumphant songs ever recorded. Carly sings to celebrate a new, true love that is her redemption from a life of pain and suffering. This touching song is still one of Carly's very best.

Two gigantic hits on this album deserve special merit and attention: "You're So Vain" and "Anticipation." The first song, "You're So Vain," launches a sarcastic, scathing and belittling attack on a former lover of Carly's who hurt her at a time when she was in love and much less aware of how people can be cruel. Carly uses this song as both an outlet for her personal frustrations and as a ballad to describe the type of love relationship in which someone is fooled by the other's insincerity. Mick Jagger does background vocals on "You're So Vain" although the liner notes fail to give him credit for this. The second song, "Anticipation," suffered a little bit because part of the main chorus was used in, of all things, a ketchup commercial on television. Fortunately time has passed and "Anticipation" is once again a great song instead of an advertising jingle. "Anticipation" also boasts some very pensive, philosophical lyrics about what the future has in store for Carly's affair with a man. There is a particularly insightful comment at the very ending of "Anticipation." Carly sings that she will just enjoy the moment with her man without worrying what the future will bring "'cause these are the good old days." Carly was right. The 1970s ARE "the good old days" for us in the year 2007. Excellent insight, Carly!

The CD ends with the upbeat track entitled "Attitude Dancing." A song that encourages freedom of expression is the perfect way to end this album. Carole King herself helps out on background vocals!

After all is said and done, this CD of Carly Simon's earliest greatest hits contains nothing less than a five star collection of well written songs that are both strong and beautifully arranged. Each song can stand on its own as both a song and as a little story. The quality of the sound is excellent and the liner notes offer the lyrics and credits.

Carly Simon will always be a special gift to us. Her ability to combine words and music produces beautiful and touching songs. Carly performs her songs with so much sensitivity you will be stunned as you listen to this CD. I highly recommend this CD for people who want to become more familiar with Carly Simon's earlier work as well as fans of `70s rock and pop music.

Great early "best of" compilation for one of the best female singers in music entertainment!!!.......2006-05-08

This CD, "The Best of Carly Simon" is one of the finest albums ever released by none other than the famous Carly Simon. All ten of these songs are true classics and her most well known titles ever to come out. This came out in 1975 (still kind of early in her career), and was her sixth album released by Elektra Records. Since this title came out in '75, it does not contain "Nobody Does it Better" or any of her later hits (which appear on later compilation titles). This would also be a "mixed bag" album, containing songs of different sounds. The first track, "That's the Way I've Always Heard it Should Be" is a nice and quiet song with a soft start and gets a little loud three times. Next comes "The Right Thing to Do", with a nice mellow sound. The third song title, "Mockingbird" is a great one, as well, with James Taylor sharing the microphone with Carly. The fourth track, "Legend in Your Own Time", is soft and mellow, with the guitar, Carly's vocals, and some bongo drums combined together for a nice quiet sound. The fifth track, "Haven't Got Time For the Pain" is great as well with Carly's voice coming in with the piano. This is a nice mellow song with a soft rock sound to it. Then, the sixth song, "You're So Vain", which I assume is one of Carly's best known songs and a signature tune for her, has a nice "middle-of-the-road" sound. This one starts out with a soft guitar sound and she whispers "son of a gun" and starts singing the lyric within the next few seconds. I have noticed that Mick Jagger is one of the (special guest) background vocalists on this one song. I have also learned that there is a mystery about who the song is about. Some people think it is Mick Jagger, others think it is Warren Beatty, or it may be about another prominent celebrity. But, whoever Carly sang about in this song, only she knows. If she doesn't want to reveal who the song is about, then that's her business as well as her decision. Sometimes something is better off being a mystery. Back to the song listing, the seventh track, "(We Have) No Secrets", is another nice mellow track. The eighth track, "Night Owl" is another nice sounding one, with almost a hard rock like sound to it. The sax solo in this song is wonderful and blends in well to the rest of the instrumentation. Paul and Linda McCartney made a "special guest" appearance, providing some of the background vocals on this title. The ninth song, "Anticipation", is smooth and mellow, and is another one of Carly's signature songs. Last comes the tenth and final track to close the album, "Attitude Dancing". This also is a great one, and has almost a disco like sound to it. I have this album on all three formats: LP, CD, and tape and I would think of this album of hers as one of my favorites. This is the first album of hers that I listened to. The CD that I have of this album is not a remastered one. I think the sound quality is excellent and clear, even though the back insert says that "there may be some limitations from the source tape". I didn't detect any limitations in the audio on the CD, but it's nice of the manufacturers to point it out to consumers before buying, just so that they know what they might get. But, even though CDs are the best format of music to buy, there is so much that CD manufacturers can do to make the audio quality as sharp and clear as possible. If such a music title on CD has some slight audio flaws from the original master tape, they do not and should not interfere with the playability of the music (some flaws may not even be noticed in the music). Carly Simon is also one of my favorite singers ever with such a wonderful voice. This album contains her most well known songs and not a single one is a "filler" (A "filler" is a type of song that is not a well known one; such a song is used to make an album full.) Rest assured, there are no fillers in this title. Great title to start out with if you're just discovering Carly's work. No Carly Simon music library would be complete without this album!! Get it and enjoy THE BEST OF CARLY SIMON.

Love Carly.......2005-08-29

All of my favorite songs are included. A great CD to sing-a-long to. One of my favoites.

Well, one must start SOMEWHERE!.......2005-04-10

Pop music of the 70's was so diverse that it produced a bevy of ORIGINAL artists. Simon was one of these: a prolific songwriter and a heckuva vocalist. Three of the seminal songs of the decade ("That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be," "You're So Vain," and "Anticipation), along with her duet with then-husband James Taylor (a remake of "Mockingbird") and the wondrous "Haven't Got Time for the Pain," are representative of a time when radio, and the singers it produced, ruled.

'Talk about your ATTITUDE DANCING...the decade had it.

For those that want to know about the ME DECADE, "The Best of Carly Simon" is a good place to begin.

Customer Reviews:

Misses two key hits.......2005-05-22

Like "The Best of Carly Simon" and this 1998 "Very Best of", both do not include Jesse (a huge hit from 1980) or the Kris Kristoffesen penned hit "I've Got to Have You". Besides that, this collection is quite good, but I urge people to import the Australin version of the 2004 collection "Reflections" which includes both this impressive and should not be forgotten Carly classics.

Record companies take note: Don't omit the obvious tracks just to fill with other songs that no-one knows.

Great Rendition Of Carly's Greatest Hits! .......2004-08-03

Singer and songwriter Carly Simon magically walked the tightrope between what was commonly referred to as folk and pop music in the early 1970s and gradually emerged from the shadow of other folk titans to become a pop singer of verve and moment, earning herself a place in the pantheon of very successful singers like Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, and a number of others like Carol King who were on the pop charts and in the folk clubs earlier in their career. This album is a wonderful summary of the best of her efforts throughout her career, including those early years. From her breakthrough hits like -That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be- and -Anticipation- to later smash singles like -Loving You Is the Right Thing To Do- and -You're So Vain- (rumored to be written about everyone from James Taylor to Mick Jagger, but more likely a joke aimed at actor Warren Beatty) is all here.

This collection successfully gathers the best of those early years in one place, and then adds to it those superb follow-on efforts with a second CD that reprises her second stage efforts with another collection of more adult-centered pop hits. Even though I usually prefer to sample an artist in context in their early albums, even I have to admit this is a great comprehensive overview of the collective efforts from Carly Simon. There are a lot of good songs here, like the terrific -Legend In Your Own Time- about then beau James Taylor, and the rocking -Mockingbird-, a duet done with Taylor.

Indeed, there are other interesting, provocative, and beautiful selections here, including my own personal favorite, -I Haven't Got Time For The Pain-. This is a great look at a fascinating artist who later made a terrific comeback album called -Coming Around Again-, with hits such as the title cut, as well as superb numbers like -The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of- to regain her audience and popularity, which she used to great advantage in the years since, with a number of hits included here from -Better Not Tell Her- to -All I Want Is You-, and from -It Happens Every Day- to -Like A River-. It is one of her best and most representative greatest hits albums yet, and it gives us an interesting vantage point with which to understand her better. This is a terrific greatest hits album by an artist who is often under-appreciated. This is one I heartily recommend. Enjoy!

Still 5+++ stars, but read updated review for more choices.......2004-04-23

This is an updated review as although the original still holds, but there are is one and soon will be another that were not available when I bought this in late 2001, and I wanted to share the news with you guys as you have helped me for so many years.

This was the very first 1 CD release of Carly's work that had almost every song of hers that I wanted to hear. Even the 3 CD box set did not include her Arista hits and was a must for all fans when I originally bought it. I overlooked the import steep price as it was worth more than worth it. I finally got to hear "Let The River Run" from the soundtrack to "Working Girl" next to all my favorites.

At the time I said that I wished that more companies would cooperate with one another to produce greatest hits collections that reflect the career of artists who may have had more than one home during their career. If it's about money, they can split it on a hit by hit basis, and in the end more products will sell. Well, I guess that I was not the only one to see the advantages of putting together ALL of Carly's better known work as in 2002 Rhino release the magnificent 2 CD release titled "Anthology," which is even better than this one as it is obviously more comprehensive and BMG Heritage will be releasing a remastered 1 CD release in early May, 2004 so based on the play lists I would recommend these two domestic releases over this one, which still warrants 5 stars and was the first release to shoot for more than just a part of Carly's career.

Carly's Elektra and BMG material in one CD.......2004-02-07

Carly's so vain...she probably thinks this review's about her. And she's right, but not vain. Rather than go the Elektra-years compilation, I chose this import because it included the singles from both her that era and her later BMG years, plus included my favourite song by her and an Oscar winner for best song. But Carly Simon played an important role in the emergence of the soft rock and singer/songwriters following the radicalism of the 60's. In its place were songs of a more personal, vulnerable, and introspective nature, putting her in the same league as her husband from 72-83, James Taylor, Carole King, and Joni Mitchell. Here are highlights from the 19 songs here.

Her signature tune, "You're So Vain," from her third album, and the famed refrain, "you probably think this song is about you, don't you?" targeted either her earlier squeeze Warren Beatty or Mick Jagger, who sang backup vocals-I'm not sure what the jury's decided. Hardly surprising that a line from this song, "clouds in my coffee" was used as the title of her box set. Yet, a pleading sensitive song like "You Belong To Me" penned with Michael McDonald, with its "you don't have to prove your love to strangers" could be a less caustic way of preventing a sig. other from becoming an ex-sig. other.

The 70's was also a period of feminism, and its influence can be felt in the haunting and questioning piano and strings "That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be" from her self-titled Elektra debut. The deadlock and misery of "silent noons, tearful nights, angry dawns" in her friends' marriage caused her to question the effectiveness of marriage, an institution where one "moved in together, and raised a family of our own/you and me."

Speaking of marriage, the cover of Inez and Charlie Foxx's "Mockingbird" was a #5 duet with her husband James Taylor, and it's clear that he benefitted more, as his previous albums never went beyond gold.

"Anticipation" is another early classic hit, but it rankles me that it was used in a ketchup commercial. Thank goodness for plastic squeeze bottles!

Carly's film songs numbered quite a bit, and they include the string-arranged slow-dancing ballad from The Spy Who Loved Me, the Carole Bayer Sager/Marvin Hamlisch-penned "Nobody Does It Better." I'll bet 007 got an ego trip from hearing "you're the best" from her #2 hit. Her piano and synth-oriented song "Why" was used in Jonathan Kaufer's Soup For One and was a UK hit in 1982. It asks that question "Why does your love hurt so much?"

Two of her film songs were for Mike Nichols films. The first one is my favourite song by her, from Heartburn and the title track of her first Arista album, Coming Around Again. "I know nothing stays the same/but if you're willing to play the game/it's coming around again/so don't mind if i fall apart/there's no room in a broken heart." One of the producers was the person she found comfort in following her divorce from James Taylor, drummer Russ Kunkel. And the other songs from that album, such as "The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of" and "All I Want Is You" showed she had lost none of her touch, although songs like "Give Me All Night" showed 80's-stylings in her music.

Finally, the Oscar winner, "Let The River Run" from Working Girl, featuring rock guitar, gospelish choirs, religious references ("the new Jerusalem") and soaring vocals.

"Like A River" is a 1994 song showing that her talent hasn't exhausted. The aftermath of a mother's death and the fighting over the inheritance, a "metaphor for what's wrong with us," leads to her asking her mother what's she doing now, and being reminded of past memories, but most of all, she accepts that while their time together on Earth is over, there's always the afterlife.

A worthwhile retrospective to a woman who conveyed her inner spotlight into poetry, verse, and then song.

Outstanding single CD collection of Carly's finest music.......2004-01-10

Carly has had long and distinguished career but this collection manages to include most of the essentials. Personally, I think Carly really deserves more than one CD and if Anthology (an American double CD containing all but one of the songs here and much else besides) had been available when I bought this, I would have bought that instead.

From my perspective, there were two peaks in Carly's career - her seventies hits and her late eighties album, Coming around again. Between them, they dominate this collection, although there are other great tracks here, most notably Why.

Carly began her successful period in the seventies via the American hits That's the way I've always heard it should be and Anticipation. Britain then discovered her music and subsequent hits charted in both the UK and USA, though Carly remained more popular in America. Her international hits from the seventies include You're so vain, The right thing to do, Mockingbird (a duet with James Taylor) and Nobody does it better (a James Bond theme). Carly's only big hit of the early eighties was Why, although she released some interesting albums during that time. In the late eighties came the album Coming around again, possibly her best ever. It is represented by four tracks - The stuff that dreams are made of, All I want is you, Give me all night and the title track. A few later tracks are also included, most notably the Oscar-winning Let the river run (from Working girl).

For many years (until the more recent Reflections compilation), this was easily the strongest single-CD collection of Carly's music but the import price is about the same as the double CD Anthology, so buy that or Reflections instead.

Carly Forever!!!!!.......2007-07-15

Anybody who has read all my reviews knows I have a crush on Carly...old news. Gorgeous, sexy, wonderful...and the singer of our generation. This wonderful 1998 release is a British version of "Reflections", sort of. [Or maybe "Reflections" is the version, since it's six years newer].

OK....Do you want both albums? I have both, but I'm a Big Fan. This album has 19 songs, vs. 20 on "Reflections". Sixteen are the same...this album uniquely includes "Why" and "Angel From Montgomery". "Reflections" uniquely has "Jesse", "Touched By The Sun", and "Amity". Big difference is, on "Reflections", the songs are in chronological order, here, they are quite random. Which do you prefer? Your call...

In my review of "Reflections", I call it an "essential" recording...it is. Is this? If you're "like me", certainly, but then you already have it. This album wins in cover art...great back cover of Carly in a mini. Sound quality is identical..."Reflections" is easy to find anywhere...this is one tough album to find, so you might want to get it just for that reason. That this is a wonderful record is a self evident truth...Carly is one of the wonders of God's creation. I actually prefer this to "Reflections", but dern if I know why. Go ahead; get both.
