Released in 1983, the record reflects the duo’s strength as both songwriters and performers, pairing elegant hooks with rhythmic, dancefloor-ready arrangements and the emotional directness that made their work so enduring. By this point, Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson had already helped define modern soul through their writing and production, and High-Rise shows that craftsmanship in full command. The album sits comfortably in their catalogue as a smart, stylish statement from one of popular music’s most accomplished partnerships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e Ashford \u0026amp; Simpson\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/capitol-records-record-label\"\u003eCapitol Records\u003c\/a\u003e – ST-12282\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP, Album, Stereo\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_us\"\u003eUS\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all\/year_1983\"\u003e1983\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/funk-soul-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eSoul \u0026amp; Funk\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-r-b\"\u003eContemporary R\u0026amp;B\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/funk\"\u003eFunk\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/soul\"\u003eSoul\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Ashford+\u0026amp;+Simpson+High-Rise\"\u003eHigh-Rise\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Ashford+\u0026amp;+Simpson+Side+Effect\"\u003eSide Effect\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Ashford+\u0026amp;+Simpson+Experience+(Love+Had+No+Face)\"\u003eExperience (Love Had No Face)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Ashford+\u0026amp;+Simpson+It's+A+Rush\"\u003eIt'S A Rush\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Ashford+\u0026amp;+Simpson+My+Kinda+Pick+Me+Up\"\u003eMy Kinda Pick Me Up\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Ashford+\u0026amp;+Simpson+I'm+Not+That+Tough\"\u003eI'M Not That Tough\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Ashford+\u0026amp;+Simpson+It's+Much+Deeper\"\u003eIt'S Much Deeper\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Ashford+\u0026amp;+Simpson+Still+Such+A+Thing\"\u003eStill Such A Thing\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Capitol Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50531432333377,"sku":"7361193","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/Ni02NTcwLmpwZWc.jpg?v=1790237896"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/collections\/ashford-simpson-vinyl-records.oembed","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
