Ashford and Simpson 3
Manage episode 152524387 series 1062246
Nick and Valerie describe their years as songwriters with Motown, and the moment when they asked Berry Gordy for a “divorce,” so they could become artists themselves. It turned out to be the best of both worlds, as they would frequently return to work with various Motown artists, while continuing to grow as performers themselves. Valerie Simpson maintains a generous point of view on writing for others: “I wear the hat of a songwriter when I’m writing. That’s the idea — for some great artist to sing your song. I’m really happy when I hear Diana Ross sing “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” — I could not have done that better!” Reflecting on the countless covers of that most famous composition, she says, “the song belongs to everyone.”Songs included: “I’m Every Woman” “Your Precious Love” “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” and “Reach Out and Touch Somebody’s Hand”
