"Playing Possum" is the 5th studio album by American singer-songwriter Carly Simon, released by Elektra Records, on April 21, 1975. It was Simon's 3rd consecutive album to reach the Top 10 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, was also a success, peaking at #21 on Billboard Pop singles chart, and #18 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. A 2nd 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 Adult Contemporary chart, entering the Top 40 and peaking at #21. The album's 3rd 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.
