Song of the Day: "All I Want Is You"

ARTIST: Carly Simon
TITLE: "All I Want Is You"
YEAR: 1988

Today's song is Carly Simon's "All I Want Is You," a song that should have been a huge hit, but instead only became a moderate one. Simon wrote the song along with Jacob Brackman and Andy Goldmark and included it on her Coming Around Again album. The title track was the bigger hit, but I think this is the better song. Roberta Flack does backing vocals on this track, and her parts are quite good as well.

You can hear the song here, a Youtube video where somebody has set this song to the video for "Coming Around Again." If you'd like to own the song on CD, there are many options, including the Coming Around Again album and various hits compilations, running from budget sets to in-depth looks at Simon's career.
