The Simon Sisters was a folk music sister duo consisting of Carly Simon and Lucy Simon. They released three albums between 1964–1969 before Lucy left to get married.[1] Lucy had a minor solo career and released two albums in the 1970s before finding greater success writing music for Broadway plays, including a Tony Award nomination for her music on The Secret Garden in 1991.[2] Beginning in 1971, Carly began a very successful solo career, releasing over 23 studio albums that produced multiple Top 40 hits across the U.S. Billboard charts,[3] as well as winning two Grammy Awards (from 14 nominations), a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award, among numerous other competitive and honorary accolades.[4]

Background and history


The duo made their television debut performing on the Hootenanny series on April 27, 1963.[5] Their repertoire consisted of folk music, peppered with a few original compositions.[6] They were signed to Kapp Records that same year, and released their only albums with the record label: Meet the Simon Sisters (also released as "The Simon Sisters - Winkin' Blinkin' and Nod") and Cuddlebug. They had a minor hit with the single "Winkin' Blinkin' And Nod",[7] a children's poem by Eugene Field that Lucy had put to music. It reached No. 73 on the Billboard Hot 100.[8] They performed both "Winkin' Blinkin' And Nod" and "Turn! Turn! Turn!" on the Hootenanny TV series, and those performances ware selected for inclusion in the DVD set.[9] In 1969, the duo was signed by Columbia Records and released a third album, The Simon Sisters Sing the Lobster Quadrille and Other Songs for Children, later re-released by Columbia in 1973 as Lucy & Carly – The Simon Sisters Sing for Children.

In 2006, Hip-O-Select re-released the albums Meet the Simon Sisters and Cuddlebug on CD as the single-disc "Winkin', Blinkin' and Nod: The Kapp Recordings".[10] In 2008, Shout! Factory released the album The Simon Sisters Sing the Lobster Quadrille and Other Songs for Children on CD under the title Carly & Lucy Simon Sing Songs for Children.[11]
