I liked some of their songs.

Kenny Lattimore and Chante Moore covered "Is it still good to ya".

Oh yeah.

..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.

My absolute favorite song of their's is "Nobody Knows". I also like:

Street Corner
Outta The World
Found A Cure
High Rise

Street corner was tight too.

Steet Corner and also Solid are my favorite of them.
But I like Street Corner the best.

Does Nick Ashford still rock shoulder pads and contacts

Seriously, though, theirs is a love story for the ages. Musical/Romantic/Spiritual soul mates - what more could one want...

thats a funky duo right there.....the modern Marvin and Tammi

i love them, i love to see couples who have been through it all working and creating masterpieces together....

Solid is one of my favorites.
I have that psp game sing stars and its on that,, when i get drunk i put it on and sing loudly

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.

That was a nice song too. That was off of the Send It lp.
