Yes
According to Song Facts Carly was in London doing back up vocals with Harry Nilsson for the song. Mick Jagger happened to call at the studio while she was there. She invited him to come over and sing with them. Mick ended up being the back up singer. Harry felt Mick was better with the song and gentlemanly bowed out. Mick Jagger isn't credited as the back up on the recording but no one else is. Link to Song Facts provided below.
There is no conclusive evidence that Mick Jagger stole a song from Carly Simon. However, there was controversy surrounding Simon's song "You're So Vain," which some speculated was about Jagger. Simon has indicated that Jagger contributed backing vocals to the track but has not accused him of stealing it. The speculation about their relationship has fueled rumors but lacks substantiation in terms of song theft.
Been a long time since I've heard that one. I believe the axeman is Keith Richards with Mick Jagger singing backup.
The two women backup singers on Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" are Mick Jagger's then-girlfriend, Claudia Lennear, and the singer-songwriter herself, Carly Simon, who sings harmony vocals. Jagger also provided uncredited backing vocals on the track. The collaboration contributed to the song's distinctive sound and enduring popularity.
Mick sang stay free, lost in the supermarket, im not down, 1-2 Crush on you, Gates of the West, Hate and War, Protex Blue, Should I Stay or Should I go, Train in Vain, The Card Cheat. Jones also duetted with Strummer on Rudie Can't Fail and Clampdown. He has a beautiful voice:)

Love In Vain was written by Robert Johnson. Originally the Stones credited the song as "traditional" with arrangement by Jagger and Richards.
No, Carly Simon
Back when the boys did video diaries (X Factor 2010), Zayn Malik was announced the vain one as a joke.
Vain is an adjective--a vain man.
Vain is an adjective. It has no tense.
The windmill vanes fluttered silently in the breeze.She closed her eyes tightly in a vain attempt to hold back her tears.Blood oozed profusely from the severed vein.
