Nobody was doing it better than Carly Simon in 1971. A scion of the Simon family that made up half of the famed Simon & Schuster publishing house, Carly was in her mid-20s, exotically beautiful, worldly and so uniquely musically talented that she didn’t even need to wield her family name to make it onto the pop charts.

And it seemed she could catch the attention of just about any man she wanted, from James Taylor to John Travolta.
