Forty million records sold. A Grammy® and an OSCAR® for Best Song for “Let the River Run”. Countless lives touched. Yet the story of singer-songwriter Carly Simon has never truly been told—until now. In More Room in a Broken Heart, Stephen Davis draws on a four-decades-long friendship with Simon herself to reveal the story behind the songs (including “You’re So Vain”!).

Davis details how Simon, a painfully shy teenager with crippling stage fright, went on to spend the ’70s and ’80s making smash-hit records and dating some of the world’s most famous men—Mick Jagger, Warren Beatty and James Taylor among them. Including her battle with breast cancer and her recent crises, it’s a fascinating portrait of a legendary musician.
