Hi kids, hope you had a nice weekend. Did you see the Ricky Gervais show on HBO? Brilliant. Anyway, in 1982 easy listening queen Carly Simon contributed a dance song to the Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards of Chic produced soundtrack to some forgotten sex comedy. While not making waves in the US, "Why" was a minor hit in the UK, and later in the decade became a staple in the Ibiza club scene. A thick disco bass line, reggae beat, and infectious la di da chorus make this a laidback Balearic classic. Supposedly the single includes a B-side version by Chic, if anyone has that, send it over please.
