Wow.....this took me all the way back. I am just about to fall out my seat. Thank you so much for posting this. The smile on my face right now says it all.
Carlagirl7, that is not going to be easy because they wrote SO MANY songs. To start with I would go online to Harry Fox agency, then type in "Hopsack and Silk Music or Nick-O-Val music and see what you come up with. Peace Cch092775
Can Valerie Simpson and Nicholas Ashford write a song or what? - Shoe Shoe Shine, Ain't No Mountain High Enough, Your Precious Love, Remember Me, Let's Go Get Stoned, Solid (As a rock), If I Could Build My Whole World Around You, Who's Gonna Take The Blame?, I'm Every Woman, The Boss, Silly, Wasn't I?, Didn't You Know You Have To Cry Sometimes?, I Am Your Man, Clouds, I Don't Need No Doctor,
@Cch092775 Are you serious?? Ashford & Simpson wrote this, I have the 45 single still. It never occured to me to see who wrote this. Young as I was I loved this song so much, I would read articles about them in Right On magazine too. Couldn't get enough, thanks for the info.
I used to have these guys eat dinner @ my home whenever they were away from D.C. on holidays. I became good friends with Tony and Michael . May Tony rest in peace. Michael is Godfather to my youngest daughter. I have not been able to find Mike for many years, we have lost contact. I have been trying to contact him to no avail.He and I were like bros and sisters. I have moved several times because of armed services and really would love to know if anyone on here can help me.
IT WAS CALLED "THE LOFT" HARTFORD CONN. UPSTAIRS OVER "PASHA,S ORIENTAL RUGS".. AFTER HOURS COFFEE HOUSE..WE DANCED TILL 6 A.M. BOY AM I AGING MYSELF!! I WAS THE DJ THERE TOO...BILL ADAMS RAN THE PLACE..WOW!!
While listening to this I'd close my eyes and smile and remember those wonderful times. Thank God for blessing us with beautiful memories, yesss in-deed!
this is the music we listen to in my house,not the crap they make now. my stepson likes and knows lots of the words to these songs and he,s 11.real music
When I first heard this song I thought it was the Stylistics....and so did everyone else. But it was no surprise when I found out the song was written by Valerie Simpson and Nickolas Ashford. They have been so good for so long and are still very much alive musically in 2010. Solid as a rock.
Jam on. That's all I can say. Jam on. Troubles we didn't have many. Go young men. Reminds me of my older sisters and I sitting on the back porch, laughing and playing this over and over....it was so cool. Thanks.
My mom used to play all of these wonderful songs when i was a little girl....wow music was so smooth back then, this crap that they have out now is for the birds.
One Smooth Group of Brothers....I'm glad that was able to see them back in the day.
Back when groups sound better then they"re records live and not like today you have to check your ticket to make sure who's on stage. Yeah they were a awesome sight to hear & see. RESPECT
The stuff they're talking about was real!!! This used to be the way life was..very simple!! And Love was what it was all about! The production on this song is "Awesome"!!!
Shoe Shoe Shine used to cost a dime...enuff said!!!

@eric2181965, yes "recorded on Motown" but not in Motown; instead you're listening to some classic, silky smooth Philly, recorded in Philly.
