they were my neighbors for many years on West 87st. (NYC). Mr. Ashford would always return a hello when I would run into him 'on any street corner', a great human being!
I forgot they sang this. What a talented duo!! Sorry for your loss Mrs Simpson. Thanks to you both for your contribution to true song writing and the memories! May we someday find our way back to this level of music.... Peace to you and your family!!
Thank you Nick for this song. I have always loved this song since I first heard it! The lyrics speaks so well back in the 80s and they speak now. You have been gone 9 years now and are so very missed. Thank you for all those great songs you left behind.
I was young when this song came out but I knew good music back then when I heard it and still love it to this day. That's what happens when your parents play great music in the house all the time with or without company. We grew up learning how to appreciate everything about it. Thank you Nick and Val for all of beautifully written and songs that you have sang over the years.
Musical 🎤 🎶 giants!🎊 Thank you both for superb collaborations… sounds .. words🎉 U kept us dancing… gave us joy❤and excellence… Love y’all ( RIP and power Nick … job well done) Ashe’ B1 fam💋🎶
I have nothing but RESPECT for this musical duo the talent, songwriting and performances are pure genius and quality. I Loved some of the outfits they wore with class. Artists were clothes back then.
rip mr. ashford, the music u wrote wit ur wife r classic now ur wit god, god bless u n ur family,my heart goes out to ur wife, daughters and the rest of ur family and friends
Dear Marcella - I was a DJ in Manchester (UK not US) and we used to give this max airplay on our Friday nights. You are right - they were legendary BLACK artists. In those days we didn't hide behind euphemisms like 'R & B' . Quality black acts were my speciality & A & S were up there with the best of 'em! Glad to hear someone ELSE thinks they were the baddest sound around! Have a fab day, dear lady.....'TJ the DJ'
I took my mom to see the beautiful Valerie in concert with the Whispers for mother's day....im happy to have spent that time with her because not too much longer after that she became ill and passed away...😞😞🙌🙌...and yes it was an awesome concert!!!! Her daughter was on of her back up singers .....and the Whispers gave out roses to the crowd😍😍😍
The streets have changed!! Young kids standing on street corners wit guns now in the 80's we fought with hands and looked out for one another!! Now it's a bunch of wannabe down snake's and snitches SMDH🤔😮🫢🐍
Brilliant re-edit of a classic tune. This is one of those numbers that nails the early 80's for me. Up there with "Is it Still Good To Ya" as one of their finest albums. And a masterclass in how to write a bittersweet love song.
Nick Ashford & Val Simpson never forgot Christian roots even in writing secular songs there were messages of love, warning, relationships, fun and high spirited beats from the floor up to the ceiling down! old school in the house! think about it on any street corner LOL sis.Val & Fam.
It's just like God had a hand in putting these 2 talented people together .They had great chemistry together. Valerie may God continue to bless and keep you in his care..and Nick. May you Rest In ☮️ Peace
Ahh Man!!! NYC Summer '82 !!! Nick Ashford May you Rest in Peace and may God bless your soul forever and ever...Valerie You hang in there I know you lost your Prince but he will always be there right to you..May God bless you and your family..
Hearing this mix is like listening to 98.7 Kiss - WRKS-FM/New York - at the height of its glory in the early 80s. And, more importantly, the height of Ashford and Simpson's power on the airwaves. I can see the city and everything in it so clearly as I hear this incredible song...
I always told Nick Ashford you have a builtiful wife love both of their voices are unreplaceable much respect to you Nick Ashford RIP Nick Valerie I'm a bass player you love you valPeace TJ SWAN
I remember my mom goin all the way off on me when we were in the car and this came on the radio and I sang Ashford's part to the top of my lungs: "they say Fee Fi Fi and I say oh no not me" was my favorite part. Moms went in how do you know that song you don't ever sing that again!! Dang Mommy give me a break I'm only 7. It wasn't until later I figured out.........Oooooh that's why LOL!!! Rest Easy Nick Thanks to you an your lovely wife for all the music!!!
OMG this takes me back to when i was real young my mom always used to play this song ... and i was just looking at the lyrics and had to burst out laughing because i made up my own words On any street , ( me ) any street on earth lol ha ha ha
I cannot resist UA-camrs! Here's another adulterated R&B classic by Ashford and Simpson which is a classic hit!!! It is still smooth til this day to listen to!!!
they were my neighbors for many years on West 87st. (NYC). Mr. Ashford would always return a hello when I would run into him 'on any street corner', a great human being!
I'm from the Bronx. I sure missed NYC. I left after 911.
Bet that was kool, Cat!! To be so close to such musical geniuses like these two, I'm jealous!!!
@djdigital3806 I miss also it's not the same NYC that's why left after 911.
I can see that
This has to be planted in your soul for this type music,best married duo in the 80s
Ashford + Simpson = PERFECTION.!!!!!!!😎
This song is 40 freakin years old...Oh Gawd !! Where the time went ...🤯
As an aside regarding time: Rick James died 20 years ago. 😮
I forgot they sang this. What a talented duo!! Sorry for your loss Mrs Simpson. Thanks to you both for your contribution to true song writing and the memories! May we someday find our way back to this level of music.... Peace to you and your family!!
You're an idiot, Nick Ashford died you moron

It's any given Saturday in 86-88. and mom is bringing me to my track meet..In the 85 Buick regal, bumping this....Aight don't tear up D....✌️✌️✌️
Words can't describe how much I love these two, they put their hearts into every song they sung. RIH Nick, you'll forever be missed!!!
Thank you Nick for this song. I have always loved this song since I first heard it! The lyrics speaks so well back in the 80s and they speak now. You have been gone 9 years now and are so very missed. Thank you for all those great songs you left behind.

I grew up listening to Nick & Valerie, my mom would spend this record over and over the 70s
I was just 8 years old the first time I heard so satisfied Mardi Gras of 76

Rest In Peace Nick. I truly experienced JOY from you and your wife's songs. I really want to say THANK YOU to you both. God Bless.
This song reminds us, today, the streets have not changed! A great message, with a warning today for our young people!
