[Zandi5]

@DRUMTOY2002 Yep they certainly don't write lyrics like that anymore

[bigsbz]

[Zandi5]

I remember seeing Ashford and Simpson sing this live at the Paramount Theater in Oakalnd so many years ago and I remember my teenage ears and eyes were AMAZED! I was never the same after the 1st time I saw them live :) I will miss you Nick and Thank You for the wonderful and positive impression you made in my life. Ashford and Simpson forever! #Soldi and stuff like that :)

[Zandi5]

@robirob12000  Iam absolutely stunned I didn't know he just died!! WHat a sad day and my condolences to Valerie Simpson

[starrchild851]

This track has all the heavy hitters on it...Michael Jackson is singing backgound on it and so is Patty Austin. Along with Ashford and Simpson Quincy Jones put together a master piece for this time period in music.

As the first female solo on this song, Valerie Simpson demonstrates what a fantastic voice she has. She more than holds her own against the great Chaka, who has the second female solo later in the song. This is one of the best songs out of the dance/disco era of the late 1970s!

@Zandi5 Me too, I can't shake this grief "it seems to hang on, like a shadow it follows" - I wish somebody would "loose me please please". I am going to miss him so - greatest musical poet of my lifetime.
