Ashford & Simpson-High Rise

[Scorpion1054]

One of my favorites - thank you Nick and rest in peace buddy.

[sexsavannah43]

You will surely, surely be missed

[sltwinkie]

i could not singing this song today, so as Nick Ashford is laid to rest on today I want to say thank you for posting this video...... THANKS SO MUCH!!!!

[norfleetw]

Oh my I forgot about this tune , i remember it so well now , "she wanted to live in a highrise" , Oh Nick and Val you touched us so much with your love and music , God bless and keep you Val and kids , Sir Nick is not far away .

[algeeaugust]

i know this was on a movie soundtrack....what was is someone please help me ....a Richard Pryor movie maybe?....HELP!!!!!!

[off10imit8ted]

This song just popped up in my head a few days ago. I hadn't heard it in years and couldn't quite remember how it went (only the chorus and the ending of the video). Yesterday when I heard about the passing of Mr. Ashford I was floored. The media tried to eclipse the news of his death with that of Jerry Leiber, but the musical contributions of Ashford and Simpson are equally as great as that of Leiber and Stoller

[5annent]

Did they make it 2 the "Music Hall of Fame" as best duet of all time ? by a lonnng shot no one could touch them w/ a 10ft pole] they had too many songs to me ,just to pick1!!!]both had dynamite voices ]u talking about complementary or soul mate gee] the news about Nick ,was so sad to hear &surprising

[carlagirl7]

@5annent ...Ashford and Simpson did make it into the Songwriter's Hall Of Fame....They were inducted in (I think) 2002.

[NYGHTCRUZER]

This is also my favorite as well. I don't think this song got the popularity as "Solid", but never the less, to me this was the better of the two.

[e14212]

One of my all time favorite singers, you will be missed ! R.I.P Nick Ashford....

[lifesaver72]

This is my favorite Ashford and Simpson song. RIP Nick. You will be missed.

[lifesaver72]

RIP Nick Ashford

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

OMG!!! I used to watch this video on New York City Hot Tracks back in the day. This has to be my all time favorite video by Nick & Val. RIP Nick and thanks for the music and showing people that you can go make it despite obstacles. He went from being homeless to being a household name!

[NYGHTCRUZER]

@MUSICENCYLOPEDIA

mee tooo, I loved hot tracks....yeah !!!!

[soulchildsacomin]

@MUSICENCYLOPEDIA

New York Hot Tracks was the first time I saw the video (my dad still has it on tape after 27 years). They also had another video from the High Rise lp in 1983 called "Its Much Deeper" of which I haven't seen yet, but it was a minor hit. RIP Nick!

[chanecia75]

R.I.P Nickolas Ashford, May 4, 1942 – August 22, 2011

[stlblkmn]

This song will always be one of my favorites. It still brings tears to my eyes to watch the video as the story line reminds me of my mother.

R.I.P. Nick, you have touched so many with you talent. You are a legend and will never be forgotten. My prayers go out to Valerie, their daughters, and the extended family.

[areubaked]

Hearing this brings back so much of those days in New York and all that was there...There's something so magical about this song and the story the video portrays. Nick Ashford, you're the best! Thank you for so much...

[debailey72]

R.I.P. Nick, you will be missed so much.

I will always love this song and the memories it brings to mind!!!!

[diamonddel1]

I bought this record as a 12" import and played it endlessly. Haven't heard it in years, it just popped into my head so thought i'd google it and was surprided to find it with a video I had never seen. FANTASTIC!!! I'm back in the 80's and want to dig out leg warmers and lycra and lashings of lip gloss. Thanks for the memoryxxx

[MrZachman7]

I've always loved this song, but I've never seen the video until now. Very well done. Valerie looks so glamorous, especially at the end.

[VermontAlpha]

I love this song! It is very powerful for both men and women.

[lifesaver72]

[bnotesounds]

This is one my favorite Ashford & Simpson songs. I always loved their video treatments. Just like the songs they wrote, the videos had great vision and told excellent stories.

[Gdsgrce1]

[mousedriverRussia]

At 1987 my uncle from Israel bring me a present - my first casette' player with this album !!! Sweet memories.. :)

[nupedre]

[jazzyfayy1983]

this almost sound like the jacksons torture song

[jeromefreymond]

OMG! What a beauty Valerie is while sitting on the piano. Great song from the same entitled record from 1983.

[masterlech]

it's some way from their peak in the 70s, still happy to see it

[Brittanyesta600]

thanx 4 the memories

don't think i ever saw this video be4, but i remember the song from when i was a kid. always liked the song... i love them!

[Wonkie6060]

I remember this video on BET! My favorite as a child Ive been wanting to see this video for over twenty years thanks you tube the 80's rocked hard!!!!!!!!!

[Blackbolt42]

the name should be Beauty and the Beast, he looks like a singing werewolf

[pinochlada]

thats very funny blackbolt42.... i have a question though...how did you come across this rare song and video anyway?....if you feel a need to post that comment. This song must have meant something to you since you posted a meaningless comment like that about a fabulous duo that i happen to like and feel equally about this song....post your ugly mug on youtube.....and let US rate how YOU look .....other than that STFU.....P.S. i wonder who gave you a plus on your comment? HMMMM

[Blackbolt42]

I can post whatever I want wherever I want to post it, I happen to love Ashford and Simpson but dude looks like werewolf period, so you STFU, who the fuck made you the youtube police? I an I look way better than Nick Ashford!

[pinochlada]

blackbolt you dumbass!! you hemmorhoid

[karameldreem]

that is wrong. he is not a bad looking man he looks like a lion. My ex boyfriend looks like a lion and his horoscope is Leo the Lion. But that doesn't matter because they have been together forver they have everlasting love a lot of people in the industry can't say that besides Marilyn MCcoo and Billy Davis JR.

[fightingmink]

I saw them on flight today from JFK to SFO.

[obcityann]

What's so fabulous about A&S is that despite their IMMENSE success, they don't take themselves too seriously. Definitely one of the great "Theme" videos of the '80s.

[hombremonja]

i love this couple :)

[divazeephib]

I miss my youth as well. However, looking at these videos bring back happier, carefree times for me. This was my favorite duo. I still love them.

[misssouljagirl97]

ashford look so scary

[alankendrick]

WOW Thank you for posting this - I loved this song and used to watch this video. Thank you for the trip down memory lane!!

[karameldreem]

I love this song. I remember seeing this video on BET.

[drkfreakman]

These guys set the stages for many singers we listen to today. They wrote hit songs for diana ross, marving gaye, reberta flack and many more artist.

[schnikta]

the best duo! ever! bar none! word!!!!!!!!!!this was one of fav songs of the 80's

[dirtydee28]

great jheri curl and great sonf from 1983 wow i miss my youth days.

[llehcin]

This was a great video considering it was the 80's. It wasn't campy at all. I can't believe no street dancing.

[sicilianbabe8]

These 2 are real artists..real deal here. They do it all and the very best. They are both so damn gorgeous.

[josephxxl]

They wrote SO MANY good songs! Not only for themselves but for other artist as well.

[jes102]

OMG:) I can't believe it!

Thxs:)

[jeanrollan]

This song is so eighties but everybody tells it right, Ashford and Simpson are one of the great R&B songwriters and this is a jamming cut. I love the ending.

[dirtydee28]

never knew there was an video for this song i always liked this cut the funky beats and everything ashford&simpson are great.

[jeromefreymond]

Another great song from one of the greatest R&B songswriting teams. Val is a sexy pianist;)

[lancejm]

Thank U for posting this video!!! Classic!!! My Mom met Ashford and Simpson @ a wedding and said that they were the most down to earth and sweetest people u could ever meet.

[fladude06]

Believe it or Not, I just heard this song (or i could of forgot about it...) for the first time this past November and I LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOVE IT!!! They rock! music is NOT what is used to be. still good today but just not as the 80's! thanks for posting!

[granprix49]

Ashford & simpson, the best of the best , such a cute couple , and one of the few married couples still together , they are the 70's duo, i love all their music

[gaae2000]

[gaae2000]

[roaming80]

Yes I want to see solid! Where is it at? :)

[darkchild00]

Is there a video for the song called Street Corner by Ashford & Simpson, if so can anyone post it? That would be nice.

[soulchild01]

Yeah, they had a video for "Street Corner" but I havent seen it yet! Would someone please find it. The also had one more video from the Highrise lp, but I forget the name of it.

[Azone01]

Munnieman has "Street Corner" and its up rite now (watch)!

[PaulRiddleJr]

Great song writing duo. A this video is great, when a song had meaning, a beginning, middle and an end.

[scatman44]

The creme de la creme of songwriting teams of the 20th Century. Period!

[CHRYS1001]

Does anyone have the video for, "Count Your Blessings", at least I think that that's the title of the song. If you do, please post. Thanks. God Bless.

[llehcin]
