Nick Ashford ( Ashford & Simpson ) 1941-2011

Nick Ashford has passed away. Ashford the male half of the dynamic husband-wife songwriting team comprised of him and wife Valerie Simpson were prolific songwriters for over four generations.The duo received acclamation by being part of the Motown song writing factory producing hits for virtual every Motown artist.
My all time favorite was recorded by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell,
"Ain't No Mountain High Enough"



The couple steamy and endearing duets were touching because they exemplified long lasting love.
" It Seems To Hang On "



It"s been a long time since the music industry had a couple write songs of love that touched many. It was Good to Us .
" Is It Still Good To Ya"


For Loves Sakes Each Mistake You Forgave. NO mistake that Ashford and Simpson were one of the greatest song writing duos of all time .
NICK ASHFORD "SOLID".
RIP
