Which rock legend provided backing vocals on Carly Simon’s 1972 hit “You’re So Vain”?
David Bowie
James Taylor
Mick Jagger
Bruce Springsteen
Fact: Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger lent his distinctive voice to the chorus of Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain,” one of the standout tracks on her 1972 album No Secrets. Although his backing vocals went uncredited on the original release, Carly Simon’s official website confirms his contribution to the classic hit song. His uncredited appearance only added fuel to decades of speculation that the iconic rocker was the target of the song’s biting lyrics—a rumor Simon later addressed by clarifying that the song was not about him.
Correct Answer: Mick Jagger
