Carly Simon has been on the music scene for more than forty years, but it's been for the last 30 years she's been making us think about ketchup. Or does ketchup make us think about Carly Simon?

If you are old enough to remember 1979, then, no doubt, you remember the Heinz Ketchup commercials that featured Carly Simon's top 20  hit Anticipation from 1971. If you're like me, at the time you may have thought it was just a great commercial song and didn't realize it was a chart hit. Call it great marketing or not, but every time I hear that song I think of ketchup.

Well, the fact is, Anticipation was around long before the ketchup commercial, and  it's been a long time since we first made the ketchup/Carly connection. But, both Heinze Ketchup and Carly seem to be going strong.

Carly Simon celebrates her 69th birthday today (June 25) so we fondly look back and remember this LIVE performance of her classic hit Anticipation, just her second chart hit, following up That's The Way I Always Heard it Should Be.
