Playing Possum
:''For the concept "playing possum", see Apparent death.''

''Playing Possum'' is singer-songwriter Carly Simon's fifth studio album, released in April 1975. It was her third consecutive album to reach the top ten on the ''Billboard'' Pop albums chart, peaking at #10 in June 1975. The lead single from the album, "Attitude Dancing", which featured Carole King on backing vocals,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.carlysimonmusic.com/music/Playing_Possum.html#lyrics )〕 was also a success, peaking at #21 on ''Billboard'' Pop singles chart, and #18 on the ''Billboard'' Adult Contemporary chart. A second single, "Waterfall," which featured prominent backing vocals by Simon's then-husband James Taylor, didn't fare as well, reaching no higher than #78 on the ''Pop'' singles chart. It fared much better on the ''AC'' chart, entering the Top 40 and peaking at #21. The album's third and final single "More and More" was co-written by New Orleans pianist Dr. John, who also played piano on the track, along with Ringo Starr on drums,〔 but it peaked no higher than #94 on the ''Pop'' singles chart.
Today, ''Playing Possum'' may best be remembered for its controversial cover photograph, which shows the singer wearing only a black negligee, stockings and knee-high black boots. The photographer was Norman Seeff.〔(Norman Seeff )〕 It was nominated for Best Album Package at the 18th Annual Grammy Awards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.awardsandshows.com/features/grammy-awards-1976-224.html )〕 In 1991, it ranked at #20 on the Rolling Stone's list of the 100 greatest album covers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://rateyourmusic.com/list/fedderedder/rolling_stones_100_greatest_album_covers/ )
Simon chose to include further photographs from the session in the booklets accompanying her three-CD boxed set, ''Clouds in My Coffee'' (1995), and her two-CD collection, ''Anthology'' (2003). The singles "Attitude Dancing" and "Waterfall" were included on the ''Anthology'' set as well.
