ABSTRACT
One of the more popular singer/songwriters of the 1970s, Carly Simon-as opposed to Carole King’s East Coast R&B leanings and the folk/jazz orientation of Joni Mitchell, two of her notable counterparts-exemplified the polished Los Angeles sound. Simon’s pop instincts and rich, expressive voice have enabled her to move into film soundtrack work and adult contemporary playlists when no longer in mainstream fashion.
