I met them in person at restaurant and they interrupted their dinner to take pictures with us. They appreciated and adored their fans. Such a class act.
Wow! It was an honor to sing with both Mr.Nick and Ms.Valerie at Abyssinian. The best memory was when Nick told me he was waiting for the Spirit to tell him when it was my turn to sing on his Tuesday Blues Night at The Sugar Bar 😂 classic memories I cherish
I don't think we talk about Nick's vocals enough. They're seen more as song writers. But Nick has a slick baritone with a silky falsetto over top of it. Great male vocalist
OMG! Memories! These two were amazing, not only entertainers but wrote so much music for others! And loved each other! Miss you both so much! RIP Mr. Ashford!
I posed to "Solid" in the ANBC bodybuilding competition in 1984. Years later I met Nick at Seaside Park in Bridgeport, CT. I thanked him and told him it was because of his song that I won the contest. That video is on my channel here along with other videos some of which show Seaside Park. BTW, we both frequented Seaside Park.
Had the great privilege of seeing these wonderful folks in '78, at the Circle Star in San Carlos, Cali. They were FABULOUS! And their real affection for one another showed through then, just as it does in this terrific video. Beautiful people (including the band and back up singers - all excellent), making gorgeous music. Thank you, dear Nick and Valerie.
One of the most powerful love ballads ever! I really feel the love and it makes me realize why I should fight for love and with the man I'm with it's really worth it!
I agree with you totally! My only regret I never knew about them and thus never got to see them live! I would have traveled far & wide to see their show & talent! Such a powerful combo! Plus he is such a flirt onstage with her and the audience! Does she still perform? DDG
I was at the Budweiser Superfest at Madison Square Garden ,when Nick and Valerie, Pronounce they were pregnant.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. Yes .👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. I love will ALWAYS be a SOLID As A ROCK.!!!!!!!!. Fan of There's. And There Daughter is gorgeous .👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. And still during the one in 2021.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.
Awesome song! These two where so great together! Don't no if there ever be another husband and wife tandem like this ever again! This song makes you wanna set out on the back porch with yer wife,crack open a bottle of wine, and dance the afternoon away! Great ole song!
Ashford and Simpson are a beautiful singing couple and songwriters. Nick and Val are so gifted as well as energetic. Val Simpson is so sexy. Nick Ashford your memories will never be forgotten.
They are and have been so underated. Both as performers and writers. Plus all the times I have heard them speak they seem to be tremendous human beings.
Asford and Simpson my Goodness such a beautiful couple.Great song writers ❤ My mom and I had such a huge crush on Mr.Ashford lol good God almighty umm ....❤
This was an excellent performance this song brings happy thoughts thank you Ashford and Simpson ! You will never be forgotten when ever I go to Home depot this song always plays there !
These two made a beautiful couple, i can't think of a couple that were together as tight as these two people nick it's sad that you couldn't hang on just ten more years man you were part of a great duo, my hat is off to the both of you 😢
Nick was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO underrated, and could sang, no doubt, but Valerie, good LAWD, she's in the top 25 of greatest singers and she doesn't get enough love!
Wonderful music video! Brings out the feelings in me as if I were at the live music festival. Very well produced, great camera views of the band and the audience, great clear audio. My congratulations to everyone involved in the creation of the Ashford and Simpson video.
Gran dueto y extraordinaria melodía...no me canso de ver este vídeo ritmo e interpretación de gran ejecución los amo!!! lástima que esa gran voz se apagó pero nos dejó un legado único!!!
Talk about being "Soul Mates" they were. I'm so happy they were able to have over 40yrs together before Nick's passing. Much Love❤
Yes, ma’am and I have not witnessed another love this strong between any couple, I love them dearly.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
SOLID AS A DIAMOND ROCK ...❤🎉❤🎉❤😂❤🎉❤🎉
It is so clear to see how much they loved each other!!
I lived in their neighborhood on the upper west side of New York. They looked just like that walking down the street.

I'm at home cooking Sunday dinner and I started signing this song. I'm crying tears of joy because this duo right here put out some gems. 🥰❤❤
What a beautiful blessing to listen to these fine artists 30+yrs later!!!!! Whoever said Nick's voice is underrated was true!
They are my faves”
Beautiful couple they were and definitively one of the best songwriting duos ever, Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson. Flawless performance 🙌🏽
These two wrote so many incredible songs but this is my favorite!!
Two giants of music. RIP Nick.
I met them in person at restaurant and they interrupted their dinner to take pictures with us. They appreciated and adored their fans. Such a class act.

I give Valerie HUGE props here. She was totally losing her voice but kept trucking forward. That is a CONSUMMATE professional folks.
They are and have been so underated. Both as performers and writers. Plus all the times I have heard them speak they seem to be tremendous human beings.

Ashford and Simpson...A love that will last until the end of time...
The music still lives on .
I love them! Everyone misses him. ♥️♥️♥️
I would've loved to have been there to see this amazing performance live...
We've got to see all the greats that are still living now, if we get a chance--especially after Covid. We may never get a chance to see them again!
Tout simplement magnifique❤❤❤
