[LuvsNeoSoul302]

I remember my mom goin all the way off on me when we were in the car and this came on the radio and I sang Ashford's part to the top of my lungs: "they say Fee Fi Fi and I say oh no not me" was my favorite part. Moms went in how do you know that song you don't ever sing that again!! Dang Mommy give me a break I'm only 7. It wasn't until later I figured out.........Oooooh that's why LOL!!! Rest Easy Nick Thanks to you an your lovely wife for all the music!!!

[markash1968]

My favourite A&S track. RIP Mr Ashford.

[sirrah6767]

Ashford and Simpson, didn't just write songs, they were giving us instructions, on how to have successful relationships, on how to be there for one another, on how to stand the test of time, on how to Love that special someone. I hope we listen, and follow by example! R.I.P NICK AT 70 Solid as a Rock!

[yinkee55]

RIP NICK..YOU WAS A GREAT SONGWRITER

[areubaked]

Hearing this mix is like listening to 98.7 Kiss - WRKS-FM/New York - at the height of its glory in the early 80s. And, more importantly, the height of Ashford and Simpson's power on the airwaves. I can see the city and everything in it so clearly as I hear this incredible song...

[jaygresh]

Who are these people "disliking" Ashford & Simpson?  Dang, go to rehab, find Jesus; do something to get your head right!

[MrKevin619ism]

The best from them. I love this song. R.I.P. Nick Ashford!

[anthropological]

RIP NICK!

[cacs82]

I REMEMBER BEEN IN THE ARMY-SUMER OF 82-I WAS STATIONED AT A MILITARY POST FT LEE VA AND HEARD ONE OF MY FRIENDS PLAYED IT ON THE CASSETTE PLAYER I DISTINCTLY REMEMBER THIS LONG VERSION IT WAS IN THE CASSETTE BACK THEN-CACS PONCE PUERTO RICO

[tomtomclubmix]

@cacs82 Hi there. This version was so not the one you heard Back in the day because it was only created about 3 years ago. Trust.

[2muchur4me]

@big ups to tomtomclubmix for this mix. I have the original version on 45 and was hoping somebody would remix it without messing with its integrity of originality. THUMBS UP TO YOU!

[francoxanni80]

@cacs82 ... great period ... i was in a army in 83/84 , and i remember that the disco played this song a lot..

[thebusmaster1458]

Wow!! you doin the dam thangs with these classics Tomtomclub mix.

how bout Genuis of love re edited extended.

[tomtomclubmix]

@thebusmaster1458 Thanks I may well do that, but I think its probably been done by other people already, I mostly like to do tracks that never had a long version but you never know!

[hirizebear]

awesome job extending this classic cut!

[tomtomclubmix]

@hirizebear Thanks glad you like.

[acecashexpress]

I had the 12inch of this song but this version wasn't on it, I LOVE IT!!! IT'S ONE OF MY JAM EVEN TODAY!!!! GO DETROIT!!!

[MrTrackfreek]

classic

[bettyboo1967]

outstanding

[hotrodindalou]

THEIR BEST!

[morereverbmusic]

OH YESSS! Awesome - i rediscovered this song last week - cannot stop listening to it - production, playing, singing, vibe - just kicks ass! Well said mrhorn2001. :-) LOVE IT! x

[MRSPEEDFREEK95]

Gotta love the beginning!

CLASSIC!

Aint nobody got NOTHING on these two!

[pap4456]

Perfection!

[MURPHNSPUD]

this fuckiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiing brilliant! 10 outta 10

[tt55774]

For more than a year I didn't listen original version,

since I've heard this one.

Great job, thanks.

[metrogroovefm]

This is not a re-edit that you'll hear on any street corner! Good tune! :P

[Russell230870]

Really great song..This was always an underated track by them. Im ny opinion much better than Solid (which i also liked). The yrs between 75-84 were really golden ones for them what with a succesful career as artists and great productions for Gladys knight and the pips and Diana Ross

[libiggz]

AAHHH this is what real music sounds & feels like.......YEAH

[lykesha100]

im glad you did tha extended version of the song

[urblhoops]

Classic. Used to see Nick and Val all the time in Central Park back in the day. Very cool couple.

[tt55774]

Great stuf... any street corner... just great.

[funkyjojo1980]

Funkyjojo loves this song x x x

[AfreeQueen]

There is something about this bass. Love this song AND Ashford & Simpson

[klaus21063]

This song is a "real masterpiece" of the 80s. I am desperately looking for another A&S song titled "Make it work again".....is there anybody somewhere who can help, please? That is definitely another "pure enjoyment"....a feast for my ears!!

[ourari]

Maybe my #1 favorite song of A&S. Great job there! You've inspired me to try and do extended re-edits as well. Thanks!!

[mrhorn2001]

@complex65

you have no idea how influential this keyboard work is. for '82??? pleeeease. this whole shit...

the killer slap bass, the soft brass, the choppy brass, the use of Oberheim synth for strings... SICK SICK!! SICK!!

plus Nick sang the hell outta this.

Peace!

[ukendcx2000]

@mrhorn2001 you almost never hear slap bass these days ...

[complex65]

Love the keyboards!!! No one can play them like A&S!

[mdavison928]

Where are you now Ashford & Simpson. You rocked the parties back in the day.

[SoulBoogieBoy]

God, such a chooooooooooooooooon! Love it!! Great mix!!
