Underrated singer; Valerie Simpson

Most of you know her songs, but she made some VERY good music (without Ashford) in the early 70s...
Her 1971 album "Exposed" is wonderful, with songs like "Now that there`s you" and "Love woke me up this morning".

I like Ashy and Simps as a duo, they complement each other well smile
They've created some incredible cuts over the years, it's too bad most of their albums (on CD) are out of print.
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

I hate when CDs go out of print!! Why can't the record label simply press some more copies?!
