Carl Simon Biography

Carl Simon is one of the most popular and richest Singer-Songwriter who was born on June 25, 1945 in Bronx, New York, United States.

Simon was raised in the Riverdale neighborhood of the Bronx, and has two elder sisters, Joanna (b. 1940) and Lucy (b. 1943), and a younger brother, Peter (1947–2018). They were raised as nominal Roman Catholics, according to a book of photography Peter published in the late 1990s. Simon has stated that when she was seven years old, a family friend in his teens sexually assaulted her. She stated, “It was heinous”, adding, “It changed my view about sex for a long time.” Simon began stuttering severely when she was eight years old. A psychiatrist tried unsuccessfully to cure her stuttering. Instead, Simon turned to singing and songwriting. “I felt so strangulated talking that I did the natural thing, which is to write songs, because I could sing without stammering, as all stammerers can.” Simon attended Riverdale Country School and also (briefly) Sarah Lawrence College, before dropping out to pursue music.

Simon was born June 25, 1945, in the Bronx borough of New York City. Her father, Richard L. Simon, was the co-founder of Simon & Schuster and a classical pianist who often played Frédéric Chopin and Ludwig van Beethoven at home. Her mother was Andrea Heinemann Simon (née Heinemann), a civil rights activist and singer. Her father was from a German-Jewish family, while her maternal grandfather Friedrich was of German descent; her maternal grandmother, Ofelia Oliete, known as “Chibie”, was a Catholic originally from Cuba, and was of Pardo heritage, a freed-slave descendant. Ofelia was raised primarily in England by nuns until the age of sixteen. A 2017 episode of PBS show Finding Your Roots tested Simon’s DNA, which included 10% African and 2% Native American, likely via her maternal grandmother.

It reached No. 3 at Easy Listening radio and No. 13 on Billboard’s Pop singles chart, and earned Simon a second nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, at the 15th Annual Grammy Awards. It is perhaps even more famous for its use in a variety of commercials to market the ketchup of the H. J. Heinz Company. The single was written in 15 minutes while Simon waited for Cat Stevens to pick her up for a date. The pair had become romantically involved shortly after Simon had opened for Stevens at L.A.’s Troubadour around the time her debut album was released.
