Carly Simon has one of the sexiest singing voices in music history. I will fight anyone who disagrees. I'll likely lose, but it won't make me any less right.
Remember hearing this at Shoom in 1988 6 years or so after it's release and the ecstasy crowd fucking loved it,it fit perfectly with the second summer of love vibe in London that year. Noooice.
I heard this pitched up to about +4 in the back room at House Of God about 98 and had no idea at the time who or what it was. Blown away when I found out its Carly Simon
you're blessed. I play stuff like this and normies show up asking me to play "music people know". I quit DJing at venues because I had too many people complain about 80s boogie-funk, roots, disco, etc. I played parties at my own house on a massive system for a while after that but never got back into it publicly. Spent the last 13 or so years recording mixes at home to listen to when i drive/work/clean
Carly Simon done a James Bond theme song (Nobody Does It Better) Won an Oscar for the theme song for the film "Working Girl" (Let The River Run) But this song is her greatest song EVER!!! Which also happens to be for a film (Soup For One) Thank you Nile, Bernard and Carly for this masterpiece
I was apathetic to this song initially, but it really grows on you in a hypnotic way. Chic had to give away great songs to other artists once the "Disco sucks" movement started.
Never understood the generalization with the "disco sucks" movement actually. Alot of great songs even in other genres were heavily influenced by disco, synthpop, discotech or have roots from them.
I was just starting high school when this came out..I,m 54 now had loads of Girlfriends and been Married and I never truly loved any of them..Still I live in hope that maybe one day I will experience what true love is 🤦🏻♂️🙏
Yeah, of course-don’t you know who produced this? Nile Rodgers was producing records for everyone at this time. Have you ever heard the bass line on a song called “good times” by Chic, aka “rappers delight”? Or Chic “everybody dance”? How about “Let’s dance” David Bowie? Or Madonna “like a virgin” and “material girl”? Diana Ross “I’m coming up?” Yeah, all the same guy. R.I.P Bernard Edwards, one of the all time great bass players.
Lyrically, “Why” (1982) finds Carly Simon asking her ex why he treated her badly. Any kind of communication between them inevitably fails : all they hear when the other one speaks is “Ladidadida,” a line repeated four times to build the chorus. This is quite a departure for Miss Simon, an outstanding wordsmith known for finding just the right words (instead of onomatopoeias), but it’s not out of character for songwriters Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, who would focus on the groove. Rogers and Edward originally penned “Why” for the 1982 sex comedy film “Soup For One” - a flop❕- for which they did the soundtrack. 💙❓💚

I remember listening to this in DC10 Ibiza and was blown away. So much so, that I’ve included it on my RUclips series “DC10 Ibiza Circo Loco Greatest Hits Part 7”. Check it out guys on my channel & make sure you subscribe so you don’t miss out on all 10 Parts :)
Imagine, if you will, a square. The corners of the square are 'having no cocaine', 'having no weed', 'having no alcohol', and 'having no money'. That square is Hell's Square. And I'm lost within it somewhere.
Nile Rodgers and bernard Edwards were a combo made in heaven. Their playing was tight!
Bernard Edwards is criminally underrated as a bassist. Perhaps the best who ever lived.
absolutely definitely honestly this piece of work 🎶❤for me it's genius 🎉🎉😊
Don't forget Tony Thompson
@@paoloorsoni5741 OK 😀

SUNRISE! IBIZA ! 1988 ! CHILLING OUT ! BIG GRIN!😍
Loves it
The best post-disco beat of 1982.
Sounds halfway to dancehall, very unique song
Nile Rodgers the hit master at it again!
Used to play this at the end of raves back in the day. Great days.
I heard it for d first time after a rave in Croatia
And idiots thought it was a new record back then in 1989 (before the Internet) LOL! Yes I remember, Boys' Own twats. The song came out in '82
wild reggae funk hybrid that sounds perfectly natural
I was hunting for this since I was born 😮 thanks!!

damn right - i was in some DIY gig in Nottingham - all pilled up DJ dropped he 12" - heaven....
fookin tune back in the wharehouse parties in Blackburn great times great tunes
big hacienda track as well
I heard this pitched up to about +4 in the back room at House Of God about 98 and had no idea at the time who or what it was. Blown away when I found out its Carly Simon
The bass, keyboard and melody makes this track 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ingenious musicians, the reversed arrangements are pure art
The staggered handclaps are perfect
The bass and guitar are fabulous.
Nile & Bernard🙏
Chic all over it with their signature sound! This song was also recorded while Carly Simon was going through a divorce.
Ironically, some of the best stuff come from people going through a divorce.
@@56postoffice And then there's Robin Thicke...
Thats an equal mix of NYC late 70s Chic and early 80s NYC underground Paradise Garage/Larry Levan production especially the drums/fx/dub reggae.
Don't remind me. @@spht9ng
You can kinda tell. This still sounds fresh though.
This is one of those occasions where the saying “this song sounds like it could come out today” is an incredibly valid one.
LOVE THIS SONG
Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards GOLD! A bonafide Balearic Ibiza CLASSIC #thechicorganization
Carly did a lot of great songs over the years. This is just one of them.
absolutely.
The kind of tune that makes me yearn for my next DJ gig just to share that beautiful vibe with strangers

Nice and catchy

Loved it from the moment I heard it in ' October 82
All the 'disco sucks' movement did was help create house music, so I'm phenomenally grateful for it.
they're genius
11/24/23: Indeed one of Nile and Bernard's best tracks!
Superb. I used to have this t-shirt.
Nile Rodgers pop genius
Bonus beats for life.. trust!!! sing it girl diva!!! band is all that and then some!!!✌️✌️🎹🎹⚡🔥🎤❤️❤️❤️
I was just starting high school when this came out..I,m 54 now had loads of Girlfriends and been Married and I never truly loved any of them..Still I live in hope that maybe one day I will experience what true love is 🤦🏻♂️🙏

The bass on this is sublime. The rest of the song aint half bad either

Any kind of communication between them inevitably fails : all they hear when the other one speaks is “Ladidadida,” a line repeated four times to build the chorus.

Would have loved Liza to have covered this back in the day !
Always liked this song but that Bernard Edwards bassline sealed the deal for me
GOOD DUB!!!
Bass riff is all time
can you believe she was 37 in the video of her dance/walking down the street.... she looks 18
Why dose there love hurt so much? As she put it once to them 'You're so vain.'
Maravilhoso!
Essa música é realmente linda!!!❤❤❤❤❤✔👏👏👏👏👏👍🥇
STILL playin this in 2024. Quality music has no expiration date🎼🎵🥰❤️
I..WHY CAN HEAR THIS TRACK.SO.PLEASANTLY?
Paradise Garage with Larry Levan.
Super chanson je la ferai en accéléré à 1,5 fois plus rapide en électro music elle doit être magnifique cette chanson remixée
When I’m dying I think this will be my last neuro play .
Oy! Liked all of her non-disco music. Perhaps morning music at Probe???
God knows why ❤
Why are there ads during the damn song....
That’s CRAZZYYYY not an AD in the MIDDLE of the song
Que de souvenirs
Why does RUclips insist on playing ads in the middle of songs... seriously erodes the platform's use for music playback

An ad in the middle of the tune = Massive eff off !

Deben escuchar el sampleo o cover de She's a tease- Why
Now I know where Justice got their bass lines.
Who are justice? Can you recommend a song by them?
@@Anthony-Testicali french electro-house duo. check out their first album "cross."
More like a Daft Punk ‘French Touch’ disco house vibe than Justice
Cover : A Tribe Called Quest "Bonita Applebum" (1990) and Mocca Soul "Why" (1991).
🇧🇷💕
No fucking way did I get an ad in the middle of this
Why
It hurt so much
update: today i got 2 unskippable 20 sec ones
