Carly Simon - Why

[VoR]

One of the very worst videos of all time, but one of my very favourite Chic related songs, and also one of my Carly favourites (I'm a big fan). It sounds more like a Diana Ross classic than the kind of music Carly was best known for, but she pulls it off perfectly.

it's so rubbishly bouncy, it won't quit

 

[POP!]

Addictive, as is that awkward but lovely video. I really wish she did a proper album with Chic back in the day.

Beyond impeccable

May be the best thing the Chic Organisation ever did. And in their fabulous new compilation the utterly godlike 12" mix is included.

I noticed Chic albums, including that and one of those great 5cd original album series boxset which basically covers ALL their ouevre as a band are doing really well.. as is Giorgio Moroder. Wonder WHY

Oh and fuck Glamma Kid, this is how a sample should be done

I think "Why" is much more revered in the UK than America for whatever reason...

FLAWLESS

Digging this on a sweltering July day

And of cause Car's trademark charisma in that video
