Whoopsie! maybe I just associate her w/ a certain time! I’ll edit her out.

Harry Chapin, Janis Joplin, Elvis, Michael Jackson, three of the Bee Gees brothers - Robin, Maurice, Andy Gibb and Verdi.

Yes and she is still getting mileage out of who was the song 'You're So Vain'. She has admitted the second verse was about Warren Beatty. Of course Warren is as arrogant as ever at least publicly, he says the whole song is about him.

In addition to the ones already mentioned, Whitney Houston.

 

[GranolaLouise]

JS Bach, of course!

 

[Margot Lane]
