Valerie Simpson and Nick Ashford wrote some of the best songs for Motown and then had an amazing solo career with their WB and Capitol albums. Working with Diana they pushed her and brought out the best. I believe her albums with Ashford & Simpson are her best recordings.
I LOVE Diana Ross and she is at her best with the incomparable Ashford and Simpson!! I saw Ashford and Simpson in concert in Indianapolis, Indiana at Butler University Clowes Hall....one of the best concerts I ever saw!!
I had the honor of meeting Valerie Simpson at her bar/restaurant The Sugar Bar. I'm sure she thought I was a little weird because I was sooooo star-struck that I fumbled with my speech and I kept staring at the poor woman. I couldn't help myself. I was talking with Valerie frigging Simpson!!!!
I totally relate. I’ve met her / them a few times and never really could convey my love & respect for her / their work ! Ever Since “I don’t need nobody’s hep” (actually before if you count Marvin & Tammi hits) 💕
❤ I could sit listening to Val recall distant and recent memories of her experiences until SHE got tired...because overflow would only come from the fullness of love in having that opportunity!❤ Sure do love you Val.
I love Valerie Simpson but her song catalogue is a fraction of Carole King's. I do think Valerie's best songs are better than Carole's (Ain't No Mountain High Enough, You're All I Need to get By, Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing)
Come on .... Ashford and Simpson are absolute musical geniuses. They should have got every accolade possible awarded to them while Nick was here to accept and receive them. To top it off the are beautiful people. Humble and supremely talented.
Valerie deserves Kennedy Center Honors Awards. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She deserves every award. Valerie is a National Treasure. Love Val❤️

Great Writers.
The Diana Ross/ Ashford & Simpon union was a perfect musical marriage...same with Dionne Warrick/Bacharach & David!

Does anyone know the venue at which Diana Ross is performing in this video?
Osaka Dome ( Japan ), 1997 Los Angeles , 2005 Las Vegas, Caesar's palace, 1979

Is she saying Diana was a lazy vocalist? Which has been said before. Nick and Val pushed her that's why vocally her best work was with them.
