Carly Simon - Why (12" Version)

[@SpleensMcYeetington]

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.

[@joannefaben8586]

Nile Rodgers and bernard Edwards were a combo made in heaven. Their playing was tight!

[@SpleensMcYeetington]

Bernard Edwards is criminally underrated as a bassist. Perhaps the best who ever lived.

[@vincentcassidy]

absolutely definitely honestly this piece of work 🎶❤for me it's genius 🎉🎉😊

[@paoloorsoni5741]

Don't forget Tony Thompson

This is one of those occasions where the saying “this song sounds like it could come out today” is an incredibly valid one.

[@rahphunk]

The bass, keyboard and melody makes this track 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@BertKrus]

Ingenious musicians, the reversed arrangements are pure art

[@Stu-The-Cue]

The staggered handclaps are perfect

[@KadeSutherland]

The best post-disco beat of 1982.

[@HendrixColtrane]

Sounds halfway to dancehall, very unique song

[@community1949]

The bass and guitar are fabulous.

[@whiteduke75]

Nile & Bernard🙏

[@LEE_MASON_]

Used to play this at the end of raves back in the day. Great days.

[@E_O_S_]

I heard it for d first time after a rave in Croatia

[@Quietstormusic]

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

[@AEMoreira81]

Chic all over it with their signature sound! This song was also recorded while Carly Simon was going through a divorce.

[@56postoffice]

Ironically, some of the best stuff come from people going through a divorce.

[@spht9ng]

@@56postoffice And then there's Robin Thicke...

[@hardcorehouse]

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.

[@freddieb1903]

Don't remind me. ​@@spht9ng

[@Ah-ed6ie]

You can kinda tell. This still sounds fresh though.

[@neilmccormick2064]

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.

[@jerrydavies3784]

damn right - i was in some DIY gig in Nottingham - all pilled up DJ dropped he 12" - heaven....

[@waynejackson2269]

fookin tune back in the wharehouse parties in Blackburn great times great tunes

[@brenhughes-d5l]

big hacienda track as well

[@Stu-The-Cue]

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

[@MkSms]

I was hunting for this since I was born 😮 thanks!!

[@keithcarrere9718]

11/24/23: Indeed one of Nile and Bernard's best tracks!

[@tenebos3378]

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

[@sauermusicDE]

Carly did a lot of great songs over the years. This is just one of them.

[@scottherf]

absolutely.

[@Rosco-P.Coldchain]

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 🤦🏻‍♂️🙏

[@Rouven-g1d]

I'm 33 and I had it 2 times. I really hope you find it one day. It's the greatest of all feelings

[@Lucrezio82]

Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards GOLD! A bonafide Balearic Ibiza CLASSIC #thechicorganization

[@rgwebb5165]

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.

[@KiNETiKpoWerZ]

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.

[@Quietstormusic]

Loved it from the moment I heard it in ' October 82

[@SpleensMcYeetington]

All the 'disco sucks' movement did was help create house music, so I'm phenomenally grateful for it.

[@scottherf]

they're genius

[@waynejackson2269]

what a tune wharehouse parties in Blackburn remember this being played and just wow ecstasy and mates and wharehouse parties what times they were

[@radiorehee]

The kind of tune that makes me yearn for my next DJ gig just to share that beautiful vibe with strangers

[@Howardlandscapingllc]

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

[@adrianmestelan318]

Impresionante. Zarpada versión. De aquí a la eternidad!.

[@MarcG7424]

Always liked this song but that Bernard Edwards bassline sealed the deal for me

[@marieblue]

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. 💙❓💚

[@cryoshock8137]

HAHAHA (coming from a bassist, on his way to learn the track)

[@79Glitch]

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.

[@dlamiss]
