Song
B-side"In a Small Moment"

"You Belong to Me" is a song written by American singer-songwriters Carly Simon and Michael McDonald. Originally recorded by McDonald's rock group The Doobie Brothers for their seventh studio album, Livin' on the Fault Line (1977), the song was made famous by Simon herself when she recorded it for her seventh studio album, Boys in the Trees (1978). Released as the album's lead single, her version reached the top ten of the Billboard Pop Singles chart, peaking at #6, and remained on the chart for 18 weeks.[1] Simon received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Female Vocalist in 1979.[2] A live version of the song from The Doobie Brothers' 1983 album Farewell Tour would later chart on the Pop Singles chart at #79 in August 1983.[3]

Simon's version has been featured on the soundtracks to the romantic comedy films Desperately Seeking Susan (1985)[4] and Little Black Book (2004),[5] as well as being featured on many compilation albums of her work.[6]
