Related: About this forumCarly Simon - You're So Vain (Original) 1972 HQ
Although its mention in the narrative on this video I'd never picked up that Mick Jagger did the backup vocal - quite predominant at 3.30. She mentioned it on a radio interview week before last.

she said nobody would know who it was about until she was dead. She only ever told one person as a prize in a competition and he knows that if he divulged it then she would just deny it.
Doubt it was Jagger - they're mates.
