Wishing Carly Simon the happiest of birthdays today.

The famed singer songwriter was always the classiest of all the 70s legends. And now she’s finally in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It’s about time!

So many hits, like “Coming Around Again” and “Let the River Run,” “Anticipation” and, of course, the still classic “You’re So Vain.” Before there was Taylor Swift or Katy Perry or any of the popular girls today, there was Carly Simon.

And she’s an author, too. Not only did her write her own memoir, she wrote one about her friendship with Jackie Kennedy Onassis. And who knows? Maybe there’s more in store for her. I know a movie is being planned about her life. And next year is the 50th anniversary of her watershed album, “No Secrets.”

Happy Birthday, Carly!
