    Thanks to all who have liked this video and commented on it in the past year and a half. Nick and Val were friends of mine for several years. Nick's passing really shook me! I wanted to do a fitting tribute and I knew this video was not in wide circulation. Valerie said she doesn't even remember making this video! I'm glad everyone is enjoying it. There will never be a more down to earth showbiz couple like them again!

      Is Ms Val OK? I have only visited NYC one time and the only place I wanted to visit was the Sugar Bar. She was there, listening to her younger daughter sing. Years ago I bought Gimme Something Real and was hooked. Not sure that it was their first album but I have loved them forever. Folks who are not familiar with how many songs they wrote for others are always stunned at some of the titles! I will go back to NY soon!

    This is snuggling music, after being married for so many years, you ask your significant other this question, it will definitely put you in the mood, I feel sorry for the people that dislike this song, they truly haven’t been in a real relationship in their life.

    Wow, I know how Val feels I just list my wife to breast 2 months from diagnosis. It had metastasized to her lungs and liver.. Her and Nick's music enabled me to keep it together through those trying two months, they were our favorite singers. We were together 29 yrs, God bless you Val and RIP Nick...
    Thank you for all the beautiful music..

    My favorite couple - I saw them live and you could see and feel the love they had for each other. Even in this video you can see the look of love in their eyes , especially hers because the camera focuses on hers a lot. Married 38 years. I love all of their songs and have all of their albums but this is one of my all time favorites. RIP NICK

    When I was DJing and collecting records I came across Ashford & Simpson. After hearing the track Outta this world I was hooked. I immediately started collecting their other records, I noticed the pattern of seeing them both on their Album covers. Even someone who is blind to tell this is THE power couple.
