Although she came from wealth, Simon and Schuster publishers, she created her own great musical library. Beautiful voice.

Player #27643412, I watched her in an hour long interview where she revealed being at a party when a man, not famous, walked into the room. Her friend remarked, " he looks like he's walking into a yacht". She also said that Anticipation was written while waiting for Cat Stevens to pick her up for a date. He stood her up. One more revelation. As a child she thought her dad sold shoes at Simon's Shoestore. Ha ha.

Sass, She's never admitted to that though, she suggests when this question comes up in interviews that's it's culmination of the various men that she dated when she was a young adult..

Myffa, She sings "app- ri - cot" when it should be " ape - ri- cot" - it still scans and rhymes when you sing it correctly.

Sass, I think she liked to keep people guessing and so keep up interest in the song. Plus, she had have a failed relationship with Beattie, and he fits some of the lines e.g. the racehorse at Saratoga, and he had a Learjet. What infuriates me is her needless mis-pronounciation of "apricot". It still rhymes if you say it correctly!

Sass, We'll probably never know if this is true. We all know how rumors seem to live forever.
