..I think the name of that one jam in 1978/79 was called "Find A Cure" or "It Seems To Hang On"..(David Eye help me out)..That was a great song and was played a lot on the radio. | |

He can be seen on the East Side of Manhattan walking around with his long ass hair. I've seen him more times than I can count. They lived next to the Cosby's, I met Bill Cosby, never got a chance to speak to the Simpsons, though my uncle says they throw great parties. | |

They also wrote Clouds and Our Love's in Danger from her follow-up LP, Naughty. I simply like Ashford & Simpson as performers. But as producers and songwriters? They couldn't be touched in the 70s. They were hot! | |

meltwithu is on target with the list that showcases their strongest gift; songwriting and producing. Even though u would have to kill me before I would get married, I do admire folks who stay together. I think it's a beautiful thing, when it works or u make it work. And they have. Very cool and postive folks. Very classy as well. Valerie STILL looks sexy. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."
