No Secrets, Carly Simon's third album, hit the racks on Elektra on November 28, 1972, and it's the one that took her from promising singer-songwriter to the name on everybody's turntable. Richard Perry produced it at Trident Studios, and he gave her confessional songs a glossy, full-band strut: soft rock with its shoulders back.

The main event is "You're So Vain", a sly, slinky single that sat at number one on the Hot 100 for three weeks and drew Grammy nominations for Record and Song of the Year. "The Right Thing to Do", a warmer, gentler follow-up, reached number 17, with "We Have No Secrets" riding along on its B-side. The album itself spent five weeks on top of the Billboard 200 and went gold in a hurry, and its making was picked over again in a 2017 BBC Four documentary, Carly Simon: No Secrets.
