REVIEWS

******
besser und origineller als das cover von natasha thomas
*****
Hat etwas magisches an sich, Carly war schon eine der herausragenden Sängerinnen der 70er/80er.
******
A perfect song!

Carly's Why wurde von der CHIC-Organisation produziert und stand 1982 in der UK-Top 10. Der Rhythmus erinnert an Reggae, die Drums stechen vorallem hervor und auch der sehnsuchtsvolle Gesang fügt sich wunderbar ein. Später wurde das Backing von 'A Tribe Called Quest' für ihr 'Bonita Applebaum' gesampelt.
*****
"Why" hat "Carly" kein erfolg in CH ???<br>Dieser guter Laune song.... "la di da di da", war Ihrer 3. Hit in NL....ende Sommer 1982 !
****
Jau, Nile Rodgers war am Werk, aber mir gefällt das nicht sonderlich gut. Nett ist das Beste was man darüber sagen kann. Aber wer auf die Idee kam, Carly Simon mit dem Chic-Chef zusammen zu tun ... in den USA verhalf es ihr jedenfalls zu keinem größeren Hit.

.. oh Mann ist das ein schönes Teil... ich liebe das Teil !!! Das ist 80er Jahre Feeling in Perfektion !!!

schön
******
Na aber, "Why" ist ein Knaller! Besonders die Extended haut richtig rein. Toller Song von Carly Simon!
****
Da sind mir dann doch zuviele Synthies & Co dabei, so kennt man Carly nicht, und das zurecht.
*****
▓ Leuke en mooie plaat van "Carly Simon" uit eind augustus 1982 (Holland) !!! Waarom het géén hit in Nederland is geworden begrijp ik niet ??? Behoort zeker tot haar klassiekers vind ik persoonlijk !!! Vandaar ook vanmij 5 sterren !!! (NL Top 40: 4 wk / # 29) !!!
*****
klasse
***
Langweilig, und vor allem passt mir der Mix der Stile nicht. --3.
****
...gut...
*****
Gefällt mir.
*****
Beau single de Carly.
*****
Ich sage jetzt mal, das klingt wie ein Vorläufer zu jenem Pop-Reggae, der in den 90ern massenkompatibel gemacht wurde.<br><br>Carly Simon mal umrundet von Synthies - geht doch gut :). Wirklich sauber produziert und gut gesungen.
*****
Sehr schöner fröhlicher Song aus den guten 80ern. In 8/82 GB #10
**
Leider schwacher Titel einer tollen Sängerin.
***
Dass noch niemand eine Bemerkung zu Carlys Raubkatzen-Outfit gemacht hat... unbezahlbar! Dieser - damals offenbar sehr populäre - verpoppte Reggae ist mir auch eher suspekt, und das Liedchen läuft sich schnell tot. Trotz Stimme, die das Ganze noch etwas aufwertet, keine 4 wert.
******
sehr gut
****
schon das Tigerlilycover ist untypisch, der Song sowieso. gute 8 Minuten Maxi, aber etwas zuviel la-di-la..
****
Eher Durchschnitt.
***
Schwacher Song im klinisch-dreckbefreiten und sehr seichten Achtziger-Mantel. Bäh.
**
Grottenschlechte Produktion von Nile Rodgers und der Song hat auch nichts originelles aufgerundete 2
*****
Zeker 5
****
Mooie song die helaas geen hit werd in Nederland. Jammer.
*****
Nederland had het niet zo met mijn vriendin Carly helaas... al haar hits flopte een klein beetje hier en geen een van haar hits werd een super hit... ZELFS coming around again en you're so vain niet....<br><br>Ik ben een trouwe fan van Carly Simon, ik vind al haar hitjes geweldig! Dit vind ik een van haar leukere hitjes en hij stond in de top 40 toen ik geboren werd! COOL! :D
*****
mooie plaat van carly simon
****
ein doch zahmes Raubkätzchen – 3.5 (aufgerundet auf knappe 4*)...
*****
Heerlijk nummer van Carly Simon uit het jaar 1982. "Why" werd gemaakt door de heren Nile Rodgers en Bernard Edwards, o.a. verantwoordelijk voor vele hits van Chic, Sister Sledge, ...
****
... knapp gut ...
****
Ja, sehr knapp. 4-
****
Auch von mir gibt`s vier Sterne.
**
Dålig låt av en dålig artist. Svag tvåa.
******
Balearic classic.
****
... passabel ...
****
achso. hier wurde geklaut. coole nummer...
****
knapp überdurchschnittlich
******
Classic song, with a great reggae feel to it. Peaked at #10 in the UK Singles Chart in 1982, as well as peaking at #4 in my personal chart.
*****
Ich mag das total! Schöner Song, passt perfekt um ihn am Strand zu hören! Unbeschwert und leicht!
******
Heerlijke produktie van de heren van Chic<br>En niet te vergeten de heerlijke stem van Carly
***
*****
Waarom niet? Fijn plaatje.
*
Why do my ears hurt so much.
*****
Leuk nummer.
***
Okey
*****
Deze Why kende ik ook al langer, maar was me niet bekend dat dit ook een productie was van Rodgers/Edwards. Daarom zeker dat ik het altijd een plezant nummer heb gevonden?
****
<br>Finde ich jetzt nicht so stark. 4+
****
Das Lied ist okay aber für ihre Verhältnisse eher nicht so wirklich prickelnd
*****
Sehr gute keyboardlastige, groovige Nummer, wollte ich schreiben, aber da habe ich schon entdeckt, wer den Song geschrieben und produziert hat: Mein Gott, Nile Rodgers mit seinem Kumpel Bernard Edwards von Chic.
****
Nettes Lied, aber klingt schon etwas lustlos produziert. Aufgerundete 3,5
******
prachtig nummer dat ik opnieuw draaide en opnieuw en opnieuw. Eenvoudig, maar zo pakkend. Ik wil al een tijdje een nieuwe platenspeler kopen en het eerste wat ik wil weten is of de 7" na zoveel luisterbeurten nog steeds werkt.
****
4* sind genug
****
Prima pop nummer door deze Amerikaanse zangeres maar het werd geen al te grote hit (#29).
