Looking over the track listing, one is reminded of just how many classic songs Simon was responsible for in the early '70s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"That's the Way I've Always Heard it Should Be,\" \"The Right Thing to Do,\" \"Haven't Got Time For the Pain,\" \"Anticipation,\" and of course \"You're So Vain\" still sound remarkably solid. This is particularly impressive considering the amount of radio time they've all gotten in the intervening decades. Simon's husky voice and smart, piano-based arrangements don't sound nearly as dated as those of many of her contemporaries, and while THE BEST OF CARLY SIMON may qualify as a guilty pleasure in some minds, it's a pleasure nonetheless.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1990-10-25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: ROCK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1990-10-25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Carly Simon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45222147883123,"sku":"NUYKN8-689K-FY","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/carly-simon-the-best-of_kIKHv.jpg?v=1783829754","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/carly-simon-the-best-of","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
