OLD STARS YOU THOUGHT ARE LONG GONE
BUT THEY ARE NOT EVEN PLANNING THEIR RETIREMENT
Valerie Simpson, Born in 1946
Musician Valerie Simpson is one half of the famous duo Ashford and Simpson, the other half being her husband Nickolas Ashford. Although they started their careers writing music for other singers such as Marvin Gaye, Chaka Khan, Diana Ross and Aretha Franklin, they soon realised their potential and started performing their own songs, which was received well by their fans. From the late 90’s, Valerie has been on the low, living a semi-retired life and she would only be seen sporadically in public. ‘Nick’ Ashford passed away from throat cancer in 2011, while Valerie continues to make guest appearances in singles and movie tracks.
