RIP, Mr. Ashford.

I'm just stunned, shuddering at the loss of another GENUINE talent, but, you were a blessing to all those who heard your uplifting and thought-provoking work.

I always wondered if they had children.My condolences go out to Valerie and theit children.one of my many favorites of theirs is"til we get it right" which both my sister and I love..and she fell in love with her late fianace to.

Not to mention that my Dad shares the same last name., RIP "Ashford" RIP Nick we will and always will love you and the beautiful music you gave the world.Now youre singing in Heaven......

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.
