1985 Carly Simon – Spoiled Girl
Spoiled Girl is the 12th studio album by American singer-songwriter Carly Simon, released by Epic Records, in June 1985.
Recorded with a variety of producers in New York, this was Simon’s only album for Epic. It was commercially unsuccessful when originally released, peaking at No. 88 on the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart, but has gone on to become a cult favorite within Simon’s back catalogue. The album produced two singles: “Tired of Being Blonde” and “My New Boyfriend”, with the former making the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 70.
