Lyrics

Carly Simon is one of pop music's biggest and most durable stars. She has enjoyed a career as a singer and songwriter that began in the 1960s and continues today, celebrated with the release last year of her latest album, The Bedroom Tapes. During her long and remarkably prolific career, Simon has produced a body of work that has earned her numerous awards and has included many chart-topping albums and singles. Her influence on some of today's most popular female singer-songwriters (Jewel, Sarah McLachlan) is obvious, and her searing honesty has been striking a chord in fans as well as other musicians since she first recorded in the early seventies.Illustrated with photos taken by her father (the original Simon of Simon & Schuster) and her brother, a photographer, as well as with pages taken from her notebooks showing the process through which her lyrics were shaped and changed, Lyrics will finally allow fans to have immediate access to her unforgettable words which have moved generations.Simon, Carly is the author of 'Lyrics', published 2001 under ISBN 9780743205634 and ISBN 0743205634.
