Valerie was on THE VIEW today and sang AINT NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH as a birthday gift to Whoopi Goldberg. Paul Schaefer was also there.

Great performance. I always forget how good a voice Valerie has. What a lady.
Thanks, Milven. And you're right, Tom -- Valerie is among the best ever!
Yes - an underrated talent. I have wonderful memories of A&S concerts in NYC in the 70s and 80s.
Valerie was one of the very top session singers in New York at the same time she was working as a songwriter and producer for Motown. I once quipped that what she did for us in Detroit was her hobby. We've all heard her singing a great deal more than we realized. Her piano playing is also to die for.
I was hugely impressed back in 1971 [[and am still impressed) by this track from Val's debut Motown album. She starts out a cappella and eventually adds her piano and that's it.
Thanks for posting! What a voice.
