From Carly Simon.com: In January of 1973, You're So Vain was the # 1 hit song on the radio. Carly had just married fellow pop-superstar James Taylor a month before, so when You're So Vain hit the airwaves, it stirred intense curiosity about which one of her previous lovers was the subject of this wry nod to the male ego.
Was it Mick Jagger? Cat Stevens? Warren Beatty? Kris Kristofferson? It was common knowledge that she had been involved with each of them in the past.
Carly has never revealed who she had in mind when she wrote You're So Vain, and over 37 years later, interviewers are still asking her this same question........
Beautiful and talented Carly Simon released the following as reported by Vanity Fair: Carly Simon has announced that the anonymous antagonist of “You’re So Vain” is record producer David Geffen.
I was convinced it was about Mick Jagger, who sang at the end of this song. Yet, the others mentioned could have fit very well. It was, after all, a song about vanity so I imagine everyone was convinced, you probably think this song is about you, don't you, don't you?!
This announcement comes just in time to promote her new CD Never Been Gone, which you can listen to and purchase here or on my sidebar. Supposedly, Simon whispers 'David' in the remake. There are many Davids, though. Carly, you're so sly.

I always thought it Beatty.
