Carly Simon Revealing Who's 'So Vain'
Winner Of Name At Auction Can't Reveal Who It Is

POSTED: 5:08 p.m. EDT August 1, 2003

At least one person will be able to find out who Carly Simon was singing about in her No. 1 hit song "You're So Vain."

People magazine reports that the singer-songwriter will auction off the answer Aug. 4.

But there's one catch: the winner has to sign an agreement never to tell anyone.

The auction will raise money for community services on Martha's Vineyard.

The song which was released in 1972, has been rumored to be about either Mick Jagger, Warren Beatty, Kris Kristofferson or Cat Stevens -- all of whom Simon has reportedly had relationships with in the past.

She says on her official Web site, though, that it is not James Taylor. Simon used to be married to Taylor, and the couple have two children.

In addition to "You're So Vain," among her hits are the songs "Anticipation," "Haven't Got Time for the Pain" and "Nobody Does It Better."

Her "Let the River Run" from 1988's "Working Girl" won Simon an Oscar for Best Original Song.

Simon, 58, currently is musical voice for the "Winnie the Pooh" series and sang songs and appeared in the final credits sequence of "Piglet's Big Movie."
