Still only hear the girl :obscene-birdiedoublered:
Try comparing the 'you're so vain....I bet..' bit at around 50secs with the same lyric at 1m50secs, he's shadowing the lead vocal. I might be wrong, I've had a head cold all week.
Mick Jagger absolutely, incontestably sang backing vox on YSV. It was a known thing back in the day and Carly Simon alluded to it in contemporary interviews.
the photo in the vid of Carly simon has more than a hint of DAvid Bowie about it.

I've only just watched the vid that ChrisW linked to, and that is a much later re-work of YSV. It even says so on the credits = © 2011 Iris Records.

This is the original tune, minus the video, of course.



And here's an interview with Carly where she says MJ sang backing vox.



Any further questions?

Someone posted up this pic on a Kawasaki triples group recently and a question was asked if that was the correct oilpump cover for 1969.

Sadly,I can say I know it is. :(
