Simon Sisters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Simon Sisters was a band of two sisters, Carly Simon and Lucy Simon. They were signed up by Kapp Records in 1964. That same year Kapp released their only albums with the record label: Meet The Simon Sisters (also released as "The Simon Sisters - Winkin' Blinkin' and Nod") and later Cuddlebug. They had one minor hit with the single "Winkin' Blinkin' And Nod", a children's poem by Eugene Field that Lucy had put to music. 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. The duo disbanded when Lucy left to get married. Lucy had a minor solo career and released 2 albums in the seventies before having more recent success writing music for Broadway plays. Carly, beginning in 1971, went on to a very successful solo career that continues to this present day.
