Carly Simon – Jesse
This was the lead single from Carly’s ninth album, ‘Come Upstairs’ from 1980.
Written in a first-person narrative, the singer is telling friends her ex-boyfriend, Jesse, is back in town, but to remind her of all of the wrongs done to her and to not let her fall for him again.
Of course, she does anyway and then tries to let her friends know that it’s OK and she wants their support in moving forward with they rekindled romance.
“Jesse” peaked at #11 and stayed on the charts fro six months!
Also, Carly’s then-husband, James Taylor and their daughter, Sally, sing back-up!
