Valerie Simpson - Exposed (1971)

FIVE REASONS TO LISTEN:
First album by one of Motown’s most celebrated songwriters/producers, featuring material mostly composed with husband Nick Ashford.
Vocal style mirroring Diana Ross, with “penetratingly soulful slurring of melodic lines,” according to The New York Times.
“Can’t It Wait Until Tomorrow” and “Now That There’s You,” songs first heard on Diana Ross’ solo debut LP in 1970.
“Love Woke Me Up This Morning,” previously recorded by Brenda Holloway and Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell.
Valerie’s gospel music roots, with Grammy-nominated “There Is A God” written by Andrew Cooper, whom she called “a gentleman from our church.”
