Happy Birthday to Carly Simon, who turns 75 today (June 25th)!!! Last year Simon published the book about her friend, and former First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, titled, Touched By The Sun. Onassis, who died in 1994, befriended Simon years before on Martha's Vineyard, where the pair began an “improbable, but lasting friendship.”
In 2018, a long-lost Mick Jagger-Carly Simon collaboration, believed to be titled “Fragile,” from 1972 has been unearthed by a Rolling Stones collector. The Associated Press reported London entrepreneur Matt Lee “declined to say where the tape of the song came from. But he said he sent a digital copy of the song to Rolling Stone magazine because they promised to give it to Simon.” Lee explained, “I’m not doing it for the money. I’m a collector. My motive for sending it to Rolling Stone was to pass it to Carly.”
Back in 2016, Carly Simon spoke to Rolling Stone about the team-up stating, “We had this little back and forth at the piano for about an hour, (singing) 'Funny, funny, funny, funny, funny, How love can make you cry.''” On the demo recording, after the song finishes, a voice — believed to be Simon's — says, “good song.” Fans have possibly already heard a bit of the tune in the Rolling Stones' infamous and long-unreleased 1972 tour film C***Suckers Blues, where Jagger can be heard singing an unknown tune, with the lyrics: “It’s funny, funny, funny.”
