Ashford & Simpson - Found A Cure

[arethafan2006]

This vocally sounds 10x better than the original. You know you are talented when you can sing a song better 30 years later.

[missbliss4life]

Just showing luv. Miss you Nick.

[MissDoni]

I Love This!!!

[dgotti37]

he will be missed

[chrystalSexydiabetic]

It is extremely sad that Nick's Death was overshadowed by drug addict Amy Winehouse. Nick has made super contributions to music and Black R&B for the past 50 years. What has Amy Winehouse done for anybody nothing but give something to talk about in the tabloids. TOTALLY UNFAIR!!!!!!!

[OJoyBaby]

Since Nick's passing nearly a month ago, I have been playing A&S songs daily. What an incredible journey it has been thanks to You Tube. There are quite a few songs I had forgotten about & several I found anew. Their contribution to several generations of music is vast and varied and thanks to technology it will not be lost. God truly gifted Nick & Val and used them to touch our lives. I pray for the peace of God that surpasses all understanding for Val & family. He was ready y’all.

[mrronman2015]

thank you mr nick ashford and your wife for such great music.may he RIP.

[mariejj1338]

IM STILL IN SHOCK I GREW UP ON THE MOTOWN SOUND I WAS A BIG FAN OF THEIRS OMG I CANT BELIEVE HES GONE,,,RIP NICK,,,I FEEL SO MUCH SYMPATHY FOR HIS WIFE OF 38 YRS,,,HOW MANY PPL CAN SAY 38 YRS NOT MANY,,,,,,LOVE YALL

[JEEminn3000]

Damn, valerie simpson stll looks good.

[softsensitivity]

I will miss you Mr. Ashford...

[MrBrotha2171]

They gave the best concerts for couples and people who wanted to be a couple. Rumors squashed by Solid Rock Love. Valerie please do not stop performing because now Nick is in you. God blessed Nick with the number 7 for completion and 0 for unbroken promises which equals 70KJV. Yall knew they met by chance in her church. Know their beginning to understand the Love they shared with us. They found the Cure, I know I'm healed.

Shalom

[MrBrotha2171]

@MrBrotha2171 Nick don't rest in that grave. Go into the light and receive your reward for all you have done for Valerie, Motown and the World for you gave us something that was Real.

[Kasbahkabaret]

Such great love of life comes through their music!

[Kasbahkabaret]

[rasta487]

oooh this hurts. This was such a wonderful performance. they never came up short. everytime i'd see them in concert or catch them on T.V., I wished I were Valerie & that Nick would look at me the way he did her. r.i.p & peace to Valerie & the rest of his family.

[RTT8001]

Happy 65th birthday to Valerie on August 26. It must be extremely difficult at this time.

[007jjb]

Thank you so much for posting this. It does my heart so Good to see my brother as GOD designed him, so full of Life and Joy! I love him so much and already miss him horribly, yet I know the devil may have robbed me of this temporal relationship but Christ has prepared and Eternal Place for us to be and live love laugh and worship forever. Long Live Nick Ashford and Praise be to GOD for HIS Glory and Precious Gifts. JB

[IFknHateUTube]

lol dis nigga dead yall

[mlbennett95]

I hear the term "On Point" being used often in this day and time. However that is exactly what this duo was, even back in the day. Also many of their songs have been sampled by today's artists. So I must give my props to this awesome song writing duo. RIP Nick! Carry on Valarie....the pain will lessen with time! Love you

[djbigpean]

Nick Ashford always had that good hair, R.I.P!!

[lovingmychocolate]

RIP 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!

[syoung2008]

Awesome! Live talent! Unbeatable! This is what you call "Professional Performers" not like some of the singers and groups out today! They need a track playing behind them. Sandra Young

Real Music, Real Singing and now it's time for the Music Industry to get Real and sign real musicians and singers that can play, sing and perform live.

[doodiddy03]

RIP THE GREAT NICK ASHFORD..THANKS FOR THE MUSIC

[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!

[MisterGeno]

Can't believe he was 70, looked good for his age. R.I.P. Nick Ashford

[wurltee]

@MisterGeno I didn't think he was that old either! And yes, he did look good for his age. May he Rest in Paradise. 

[Vyskochkova1]

What great talent, and such nice people.

[Diva441]

RIP Mr. Nick Ashford. Great songs. Always wanted to make it to their club! Love their music!! Good good good sounds. Legendary song writers both of them.

[oldiesbutgoodies3]

Lost Nick Ashford today 8/22/11- R I P Nick, you and Valerie brought a great deal of joy with not only your talented writing, but also your great singing and performing. Deepest condolences to Valerie.

[monajonz]

They taught me the best lesson in life, "Whatever it is, love will fix it."

[gratheeus]

RIP, Mr Ashford.

[eflat2tnr]

This comes as such a shock to me! Another legend gone! This is when music was the way of life! Unbelievable that most of my generation of entertainers have made their transition. How I will miss the love and compassion of music of yesterday. However, the music still resonates in my spirit. Tonight I celebrate the love of music and the artistry of the pioneers that have made such an impact. Thanks Nicholas for all you did and to Valerie the songbird of my 70's

[rtisleo]

Rest In Peace Nick Ashford.

[jselth]

Thanks for having these! R.I.P. Nick--Peace to Valerie.

[blovingit1]

Rest in peace Nick Ashford. We love you and your wife.

[RTT8001]

Ashford and Simpson were the ultimate inseparable soul mates. I cannot imagine one without the other. God, they wrote brilliant heartfelt songs esp for Motown that tore up your heart. Nick is jamming with Marvin & Tammi now. Diana is surely shedding a few tears. It is ironic that two geniuses from legendary songwriting duos passed on today, Jerry Leiber of Leiber & Stoller and Nick Ashford. Both songwriting duos are some of the most highly respected and brilliant in the music industry.

[rimewizzard]

They recorded this at their restaurant the SUGAR BAR LIVE!!!

[TeeboneNY]

I am glad to have the opportunity to meet and work with them.

[alphoonz]

rest in peace Nick love you man...

[TuNee23]

RIP Nicholas Ashford..You will be missed!

[FunkMasterRio]

R.I.P. Nick I will alwayz remember you, your tunz and your baaad hair style!

[Heyjay454]

The Angels just got a new voice to add to the heavenly choir. Thank you Nick for all of your music!!!

[Lynelltravels]

Rest In Peace Nick. Loved your concerts and praying for your wife, Valerie and daughters.

[nice1dave]

R.I.P.NICK ASHFORD

[tricianfred]

I just found out from a friend on FB, so sorry to hear of the loss, heaven is certainly becoming a musical place.....Rest In Peace

[jbFromNYC]

RIP Nick Ashford :(

[tennisdoc1]

It seems to hang on!!!!!

[MikeKrysta1]

They sound soooooo great live!!!

[eyesley]

@MikeKrysta1 yes they do!

[melvin1123]

THAT WAS THE BEST PERFORMANCE IVE EVER WATCHED FROM THE 2

[Sangria3]

There are no more duets like this anymore!!! Beautiful music from back in the day...

Had the pleasure to see them live back in the day in New Orleans, La...

[uzipolo]

the punchline is this...they dont have to do this..yall cant see they money..they do concerts for the hell of it--says uzipolo king of decatur

[stephenmazyck]

truely a time when music was music

[saywhat157]

saw them in the late 70's and again in the early 80's. they gave one hell of a show.

would pay to see them again.

[19ccj65]

A few months ago, I saw them at the Razz Room here in San Francisco and Ashford & Simpson give 150% in their performances. They are inspiring!

[uniqueautographhut]

My first too listening to cut. Oprah saying that she listens to the 10-Min. version of Found a Cure. They are really complementary to the other. Love the way the song keeps going. Feel very happy!.

[LifeWithNisey]

This is my first time hearing this song. I was watching Oprah and she says she listens to this song (10 min version) during her workouts. I like it!

[up2itru]

Saw Nick on the street, Easter Sunday three years ago ... really made up ... but just as nice as ever, and grateful for the memories! ...

[KSMSDRPEPPER]

Old School All The Way!!! :-)

[jubileedoo]

Ashford & Simpson rocked the clubs back in the day! I remember the couples as they twirled across the dance floors. Disco was king back then!

[jubileedoo]

@imendizabal: A&S were hot back in the day and they've written songs & composed for some of the biggest names in music. When you're as famous & awesome as they are, you never retire. Show some respect for the legends that they are. Didn't your mother ever tell you, if you ain't got nothing nice to say, then keep it to yourself...?

[JEDI7ACEN]

What? Retirement time? As many hits they sang and wrote for a lot of others, They still got money rolling in, they are probably just doing this as a hobby. I know they are years older than me but look younger than a lot of people my age or younger.

I bet you are a Gaga or Nicki fan. Let's see them in a couple of years after their bondo and sillycone(yeah I spelled it that way on purpose) surgeries start failing. They ain't got the talent to make it after their fad is over.

[imendizabal]

It was fun once, now it looks like is time to call it quits. Retirement time.

[tubeyounity]

Much respect and love for Ashford and Simpson. Gotta say for those who remember, In Living Color did a hilarious parody. Check out " We Tight - Cephus and Reesie" LOL

[CINTERPOL]

Wait this isnt just bieber

[PeaceFan1]

I just LOVE these two together ...Amazing singers as well THE best song writers ...xoxoxo

[JEDI7ACEN]

Now you know this was live music. This I would pay to see.

Too bad a lot of the new stuff is lip sync at $50 bucks and up for a ticket. I wouldn't give up a food stamp to see Ga ga in concert.

[TheMrtimmy28]

@JEDI7ACEN best comment i've read lol lady gag gag and justin bee bee wtf? thats music? fuck kids should be forced to learn 70,s and 80,s music and learn to FUNK

[MrSmartBob]

@JEDI7ACEN What does lady gaga have to do with Ashford and Simpson? You keep your food stamp you freaking parasite.

[JEDI7ACEN]

@MrSmartBob Just saying I would pay big money to see Ashford and Simpson here in the place rather than see any of these new no talent singers with the bazillion dollar stage shows.

[nubihotepamun]

They look so good for their age. Living Legends.

[utleowynd]

alway's good

[JANKEW93]

I LOVE THE SONG

[Mskim722]

Have loved there style since the beginning. They both have this sexiness going on. How couples should always feel about each other. Not to mention how their voices compliment one another. The stage presence is awsome. They allow each other to get their own turn, then come back together. What an example!

[Modacolorist]

They are working that old people's dance[ X-D], reminds me of watching my aunts dancin' when I was a little girl.

[rufus317]

They still look like their album covers, haircuts, outfits and all. Wow! Nick and Val found the fountain of youth!

[MsNJborn]

I sure which I could have been at one of those tables. This type of music sure can take a bite out of crime. Absolutely love it.

[margaretszuky]

B O R I N G.

[ladybost74]

i love their music and they still look good after all these years. you woul be surprised of all the songs they have written for other people

[trickywillet]

Saw them last year at Concord California's Stone Soul Picnic... they are so talented.... love their love...

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #2 soul, #36 pop in Billboard. God bless, Nick and Val!

[rufus317]

@DaveWollenberg A monster hit in the discos #1 on Billboard's Disco/Dance Chart for 2 weeks back in September 79'

[nippy22]

Lovely they are a good pair :)
