One of the hit songs they co-wrote was "I'm Every Woman," which they wrote for Chaka Khan. The song became a No. 1 hit for Khan in 1978. It also became a hit for Whitney Houston.

In a chat with People, Simpson reflected on writing the song with Nick and revealed she told him to dig into his feminine side. She also said she instantly knew the song's title was great and said it was one of those things that came together.

Simpson and Nick were married from 1974 to August 22, 2011, before the latter died after battling throat cancer. Though her husband is no more, Simpson has only fond memories of him.

When he died, she found it hard to cope as he was her friend, lover, partner, and the greatest guy in the world for her. Simpson takes things a step at a time, with some days being better than others. Being in the company of friends and family has also helped to soften the blow.
