Valerie Simpson’s brother’s name is Ray Simpson and he’s the current lead singer of the legendary 70’s/80’s group, The Village People. But the talented sibling syndrome doesn’t stop here for Valerie, her other brother, Jimmy Simpson, is a successful music producer who produced the soul group GQ, best known for hits like Disco Nights (Rock-Freak) and I Do Love You.

Here are some pics of her brother, Ray…

This explains why Valerie is so good at what she does. She was surrounded by talent all of her life. You go Valerie!

Ray Simpson and the rest of the Village People still pack houses to this very day and they perform regularly.

Nick Ashford was a remarkable talent and it’s sad that his life was cut so short, but it’s beautiful to see Valerie continuing to spread what she and Nick built together. We wish the Valerie much continued success.
