À propos de cet audio

Simon's memoir reveals her remarkable life, beginning with her storied childhood as the third daughter of Richard L. Simon, the cofounder of publishing giant Simon & Schuster; her musical debut as half of The Simon Sisters, performing folk songs with her sister, Lucy, in Greenwich Village; to a meteoric solo career that would result in 13 top 40 hits, including the number-one song "You're So Vain". She was the first artist in history to win a Grammy Award, an Academy Award, and a Golden Globe Award, for her song "Let the River Run" from the movie Working Girl.

The memoir recalls a childhood enriched by music and culture but also one shrouded in secrets that would eventually tear her family apart. Simon brilliantly captures moments of creative inspiration, the sparks of songs, and the stories behind writing "Anticipation" and "We Have No Secrets", among many others. Romantic entanglements with some of the most famous men of the day fueled her confessional lyrics as well as the unraveling of her storybook marriage to James Taylor.

Includes original music composed especially for the program by Carly Simon and Teese Gohl plus a previously unreleased bonus song from Carly Simon.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Carly Simon exuberantly narrates her memoir, which reads like a history of rock and roll from the 1970s onward. Simon's warm and personal style sounds as if she's telling her story directly to each listener." ( AudioFile)

I loved learning more about her relationship with her father. Her memory of him on the train teaching her a very important life lesson was my favourite part to read. I listen to the audiobook all the time and have the book which proudly stays in my living room. Her poetry makes you want to memorize every word, like all of her songs do ❤️

So poetic

Loved listening to Carly Simon tell her story . She is authentic, genuine, vulnerable, quirky and funny in telling her story. She really addresses her mental health and it is accessible and relatable. Her epilogue is so good too because she stops the story at the end of her marriage and then elaborates on her love of home and how she chooses to live her life now. So good!

A beautiful listen...

So glad I listened to the audio of this book. Felt like I was having tea with a dear friend. Carly speaks to the reader while retelling her somewhat difficult life. I grew up on her music so having her songs sprinkled between tellings made the book so much more personal. She inspires hopefulness and caring. Would love to meet her. Wishing her nothing but happiness and love. Thanks Carly for your story!
