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.
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.
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.
