Carly Simon.



However, she's not the only one:



Sarah Brightman and Claire Sweeney have tackled the song as well.

Are you thinking of "Scarborough Faire"? If that's the case, it's a traditional song and thousands of people have done it.



If that's the name of the song, I have no idea.
Reply:art garfunkel! LOL
Reply:I believe the song you're thinking of is Scarborough Fair-which many artists have done covers of. One female singer that I know has done a cover of Scarborough Fair is Sarah Brightman.
Reply:here's some info:

Some people know the version of this song done by Sarah Brightman. Though she omits most of the lyrics that are given above, the lyrics that are in her song are reproduced here accurately. Other artists who have performed the song include but are not limited to: Simon and Garfunkel, Delfonics, Vicky Leandros (who also recorded a French, German and Greek version), Brian Klauss (on his self-produced album Folksinger), Hannah Fury, Sergio Mendes %26amp; Brasil '66, Wes Montgomery, Al Di Meola, Herbie Hancock, Nana Mouskouri, Queensr?che, Martin Carthy, Marianne Faithfull, Harry Belafonte, Roger Whittaker, Midori, Medwyn Goodall, Johnny Dean, Urban Trad, the Mediaeval Baebes, Triniti, Hayley Westenra (with Celtic Woman), K.I.A., Luar na Lubre, M?go de Oz (whose Spanish version carries the title "Duerme... (canciĆ³n de cuna)"), Aya Matsuura, the Italian singer and composer Angelo Branduardi and, most recently, a young Japanese artist named Yuki Otake (whose version starts each stanza with the English lyrics, most of which are listed above, and then finishes with a Japanese translation). It also seems to have heavily inspired the Stone Roses song "Elizabeth My Dear", whose melody is very similar. The song was also recorded by the Dutch band Brainbox, Sea Level, the Allman Brothers Band offshoot formed by Chuck Leavell, Jai Johanny Johanson, Lamar Williams and Jimmy Nalls recorded an instrumental version on their 1977 debut album. It was also recorded by British singer Amy Nuttall from her debut album Best Days. Carly Simon included the tune on her 2007 album Into White.



Hannah Fury has recorded her own version, a 'soul-shredded' version called Scars. It features lyrics that are twisted in some way. An example is the opening verse:



Please don't go to Scarborough Fair

Violets, roses, thistles and vines

Remember me, I am still here

He was not a true love of mine



Electronica artists The KGBs have done a version called "Infinity", featured on theHardstyle Techno compilation Italian Hardstyle 9 by DJ TechnoBoy. It features a typical Hardstyle beat with a crossfade of the first two verses looped over and over.
