Tracks: Vengeance Just Like You Do We're So Close Coming To Get You Never Been Gone Pure Sin Love You By Heart Spy Memorial Day About The Record: Spy, by singer-songwriter Carly Simon, peaked at No. 45 on Billboard 200 in the U.S. It is also her last album for Elektra Records. The title of the album is a tribute to Anas Nin, whose quote is I am an international spy in the house of love. Simon dedicated the album to producer Arif Mardin, about which she wrote in the liner notes, "Dedicated to Arif who is himself fantastic." Although Spy did not yield any major hit singles, Vengeance earned Simon a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Female in early 1980 - the first year to feature this new category. It peaked on the Billboard Chart at No. 48. The promotional clip was also chosen by Pioneer Electronics to be part of their first demo disc for its then-new Laserdisc player. James Taylor provided backup vocals on this album.
