Happy Birthday to Carly Simon, who turns 78 on Sunday (June 25th)!!! Tragically, last fall, Carly's two sisters died of cancer only one day apart. Joanna Simon died on October 19th of thyroid cancer at age 85 — with Lucy Simon passing the next day of metastatic breast cancer at age 82. The Simon's brother, noted photographer, Peter Simon, died in 2018 at the age of 71. The Simon's are the children of Simon & Schuster co-founder Richard L. Simon.
Due to the unimaginable loss, Carly Simon was unable to attend her November 2022 induction into The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, at L.A.'s Microsoft Theater.
In 2019, Carly 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.”
