Carly Simon Set to Celebrate Solar Eclipse in Nova Scotia

It was January 1973 when singer Carly Simon topped the Billboard Hot 100 with "You're So Vain," the lead single from her third studio album, No Secrets. The song held the #1 spot for the first three weeks of the year.

Now, more than 50 years later, Simon is set to commemorate a line from the song ("Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia/To see the total eclipse of the sun") with a rare radio interview. Most appropriately, the interview will be heard over the airwaves of Nova Scotia, Canada.

As the eclipse crosses over North America on Monday, April 8, tune into Halifax, Nova Scotia's 89.9 The Wave morning show to hear Carly Simon chat with host Barry Rogers about this fun and coincidental moment in the song's history. You may even catch a live performance from Carly, or hear a lucky fan win a signed copy of These Are the Good Old Days: The Carly Simon and Jac Holzman Story 2LP.

"While Ms. Simon’s accomplishments, awards and accolades are too numerous to mention, this 2022 member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is the lyricist and singer of one of the most famous 'eclipse-influenced' songs of all time, ‘You’re So Vain.' And as we know, her classic # 1 hit helped draw global attention to our part of the world with its’ lyrical reference to Nova Scotia," Barry Rogers shared on Facebook.

"Hope you can join me this Monday morning on The Wave for my in-depth conversation with Ms. Simon. While discussing different aspects of her professional life, you’ll also hear some of her fascinating backstory about the creation of ‘You’re So Vain’, including her influences, inspirations and the actual recording of the song. Oh, and she also offers a 'very special message' to all Bluenosers. I know you will love it! Hope you can join me then."
