Simon turns 83 on June 25, capping a career that has produced some of the most enduring songs of the last half-century, including "Anticipation," "You're So Vain," "Mockingbird," "You Belong to Me" and the James Bond classic "Nobody Does It Better."
Her breakthrough came in 1971 when her self-titled debut album earned her the Grammy Award for Best New Artist and introduced audiences to "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be." But it was 1972's No Secrets that transformed Simon into a superstar.
Yet another of Simon's best-known songs came from an unlikely place: a James Bond movie.
Its reputation has only grown with time. In 2021, USA Today ranked "Nobody Does It Better" the greatest James Bond theme song ever recorded, while Rolling Stone placed it among the franchise's top three themes. The song was also a commercial powerhouse. In a 2012 analysis of the highest-charting Bond themes in history, Billboard ranked "Nobody Does It Better" as the second most successful James Bond theme ever on the Hot 100, trailing only Duran Duran's 1985 hit "A View to a Kill."
In 1988, Simon made history with "Let the River Run" from the film Working Girl. The song earned her an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and a Grammy Award, making her the first artist to win all three honors for a song she wrote, composed and performed entirely by herself.
Even after more than 60 years in music, Simon isn't finished.
Simon says that "Howl" "lives in that space between betrayal and forgiveness, where anger has to be voiced before it can be released."
For an artist whose career has already included chart-topping hits, movie classics, major literary success and Rock Hall recognition, it would be understandable if she spent her 80s celebrating her legacy.
