Carly Simon, born in New York City on June 25, 1945, had an interesting upbringing as the third daughter of Richard Simon, the co-founder of Simon & Schuster. While her parents initially hoped for a son named Carl, they named her Carly instead and embraced the beautiful addition to their family.

It was during this period that she formed a close bond with Jackie Robinson, the legendary baseball player and a dear friend of her family.
