[111ent]

Nick Ashford… “Thank You So Much” for blessing us with your Incredible Talent, Amazing Spirit and Everlasting Love.

We will always Love You.

[d2dathird]

@111ent amen!! this performance is just so appropriate of their love for music and each other

[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!

[koidu]

@sirrah6767 ... that's a great observation you've made. Thanks for sharing.

[eflat2tnr]

Out of all the ceremonies whereas they acknowledge our African American songwriters and artists why have they never been roasted before? They made some beautiful music as a duet, writers, producers. Now this great man has transitioned on and never received any flowers. Why wait to honor these great pioneers. Thank you Nicholas for paving the way for so many and Valerie for standing by your MAN! Love you God bless your spirit and soul! This is something REAL!!

[SussQuatch]

It's a damn shame that internet security on You Tube precudes me adding my URL to the previously mentioned MP3 file. My name is John Sussewell and there is no virus, worm or trojan embedded in what I hyperlink. So kindly add (concatenate without spaces) " Hyper Text Transfer Protocal : / johnsussewell com / " It's a damn shame that very skilled folks seek to hack where their talents arent.

[SussQuatch]

Having worked with you two as your drummer on more than one album Nick & Val, I now express my sorrow for Nick's departure and prayers for you & Family. It's a d*(* shame that any one so gifted and talented should die: Aint-iTaShame_Ashford&Simpson&­Suss-1978.mp3 . Time is very precious everyone - just make the most of it. Respectfully; John Sussewell (a.k.a. SussQuatch & Suss!). Keep it Real. I remember this song & the recording sessions & tours. R.I.P Nick.

[Denisellen]

RIP Nick Ashford. We are all better for your and Valerie Simpson's music..

[LadyPaulaMata]

My favorite duet of all time both on and off stage. Rest in eternal power Nick Ashford!

[Sydelle66]

My heart is heavy right now. RIP Nick, you were one of my favorites.

[spotcoffee]

Rest in Peace Nick Ashford

[jazzynlala]

I always wanted to have a relationship like theirs since I knew about them in the eighties and I was playing music then.....now over twenty years I hear them singing of wnating something real.....It makes me reflect on all my relationships and kids (2 girls one 25 yrs old) since then......sitting here ALONE

[myklstarr]

I remember the first time I saw them in 1984. They generate love on stage and throughout the building. Amazing couple. Amazing singers and songwriters. Amazing performers. Simply Amazing.
