  • The Husband & Wife Team showed us how being in the music industry did not take away their love for each and the love of their music....RIP Nick Ashford. You and Valerie are an inspiration!

  • Love has no Color however it was good they stayed together, for better for worse. When God instituted a marriage in the beginning there was never a intention for there to be a divorce but sin and disobedience to GODs word causes such things to happen and it affects everybody. Great duet

  • R.I.P NICK

  • wow great song, as so many of theirs is. We lost a music Icon. Hope their music influence generations to come.

  • 'Til death did they part. THAT'S how a Black marriage is supposed to end!

  • @Apsu72 When they hit their stride musically, certain music industry jackals encouraged Valerie to ditch him and go solo. They were destined to be together. We should all be so lucky to find that special person.
