Teaming with husband <a href="spotify:artist:4X7jBy7ujZ6PSsHJPuCosZ">Nickolas Ashford</a>, Valerie Simpson co-wrote numerous soul hits before the pair began a fabulously successful performing career of their own in the early '70s. <a href="spotify:artist:2EURsXo9qlt1aMWlviGCRi">Ashford & Simpson</a> wrote for the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:64wglyu5BoOzwMXYjtAbfS">Chuck Jackson</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1eYhYunlNJlDoQhtYBvPsi">Ray Charles</a> before joining the production staff at Motown and creating hits for many of the company's top acts, notably <a href="spotify:artist:3koiLjNrgRTNbOwViDipeA">Marvin Gaye</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:75jNCko3SnEMI5gwGqrbb8">Tammi Terrell</a>. They tallied their own first soul hit in 1973 for Warner, racking up a solid string of smashes that include "Don't Cost You Nothing" (1978), "Found a Cure" (1979), "Street Corner" (1982), and "Solid," the duo's first R&B chart-topper in 1984. ~ Bill Dahl, Rovi
