Lunch Break Videos: Here are some of my favorite Carly Simon songs in celebration of her 74th birthday

Hard to believe, but the great Carly Simon turns 74 today!

During the peak of her hit making years, my siblings and the kids on my cul de sac would take the bus or ride our bikes to the JC Penny in Huntington Beach to buy 45s (FYI for those under 40: they are singles, little records) and I bought plenty of records by Miss Simon.

In the summer of 1977, I played Nobody Does it Better from The Spy Who Loved Me probably a gazillion times.

Also loved, loved, loved her duets with then-husband James Taylor.

Here are some of my favorite Carly songs – and no, they don’t include You’re So Vain or Anticipation.
