- To honor the memory of Songwriter Nick Ashford, his wife Valerie and their abundunce of family, friends and fans, I would like to share this rare footage from my collection- the actual promo video for Nick & Val's 1978 Composition "Is It Still Good To You". Enjoy and God Bless - Robert Spiegel
Some of the best music of our times. Who's still listening in 2024?
It’s a shame they haven’t been honored on BET, Soul Train Awards, etc…they gave us hits❤️❤️ and Valerie is still alive. They need to do this!!
my wife and I used to sing this together in a band
Agreed!
Good Point
Absolutely
I no
The most amazing husband and wife singing duo, in the r&b music history"....hands down. 😎👍
U mean hands up hands down is a no
Totally agree
Yessss!
Don't forget Peaches and Herb 🤷😅
In the Industry period!!!!!
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!
Thanks for the video great to listen too fantastic
No, I thank you. I will never get tired of listening to thus great and blessed couple. 💕💕💟💟💟
I love this from my heart
I loved everything, except the name all over it, throughout the video.
🥰🥰
I can not believe how powerful 6 words can be in a relationship. There will never be another husband and wife duo like Nick and Val. Please give this lady her flowers BET , Soul train and honor their contributions to Black Soul music. Anybody have a petition?❤
I would sign it.
RIP Nick Ashford. Beautiful song for a beautiful couple ❤
A time when we had to wait to get what we wanted. Lay-a-way, Dates, spending quality time learning about each other. Help us, Lord!

Yes! The good old days. Holding hands. Talking on the phone all night, "okay, you hang up. No you hang up. Hello? U sleep?" 😊👌🏽💖 Pure romance.
Miss those days!
AMEN TO THAT!!!
Beautifully said!🙂
Music had meaning and you felt it inside you it could make you smile, make you cry, dance around the house all by yourself. That's when music had SOUL!!!
I love how she looks at him. I can feel the love and passion. Such a beautiful couple
She look like she wanna give him some.
That look
Ashford and Simpson always my favorite couple when it comes to sinning a love songs look how they look at each other old school love, you know what I mean.❤❤❤
@@JesusChrist-dc1hr
Forgive me
Yes they are.🙂🙂🙂🙂
Loved them. I was 18 years old, white male growing up in Oakland CA, born and raised. So glad I grew up with soul music. How lucky I was and am.
I met Mr . Simpson on my bus one day what a great guy he was a very nice gentlemen I picked him up on 72nd St. and Broadway on M7 line what a great guy we had a very nice conversation and I also mentioned to him that I had all his albums on vinyl records may my brother Rest In Peace. May god have favor upon his family.
people today don't understand the message of real music it moves your soul, every song has a meaning behind it and people who can't respect that are losing out, it's a gift to music that makes sense.
Hello Pamela good music touches the soul and every songs has it meaning pretty.
Who is still listening to this Great classic in 2019......
The morning after Thanksgiving day 2020. It just popped up in my feed & I could not keep scrolling.👌🏽💖
I’m listening in December 2020, it’s so romantic to play this while snuggling with your husband
2021
🙋♂️
You mean 2021 and forever
They made "Beautiful" music together.
What a romantic song recorded by dynamic duo Ashford & Simpson. They both are talented bless with a god given gift R.I.P Nicholas Ashford.
They don't make true love songs like this anymore
My daughter had the honor to sing at me Simpson Club in New York it was wonderful and beautiful love seeing her in person still a beautiful lady
They sounded so lovely and pure. NO AUTOTUNE!!
hail naw they dont
Love lasts a very long time.. " we dont choose how long it lasts.... Thank God, that we love..! Beautiful song..
This song has me all in my feelings! I love it!
A song every couple can relate to great tune
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.
There's no love like this anymore 😭😭.. It's so rare to find the kind of love they display
I always loved theirs songs and you can hear the love in their voices....then I saw them in person and WOW!!! They showed their love on stage..so much it it was palpable to me.
It still exists, but you have to find the right person to tap into your spirit, soul, and energy, and I thank God for sending me such the man to do just that, I can say with certainty that he and I have such the chemistry and connection 💕💕
I don't think I agree with you, if a couple truly, and honestly commits themselves to each other, and takes the time to get to know one another, instead of rushing the process, they can find that in each other, because my man and I most definitely found it in each other 💞💞
Gone baby gone. Nobody loves like this anymore
You could see the love they felt for one another. That is why their songs had so much meaning and feeling.
I love the way she looks at him while playing the piano and singing☺
Mommy D ilove this jam
Sheila Palmer Me too always and 4EVER REPEAT REPEAT CAN'T HELP IT STILL LISTENING 2017 4REAL! !
Mommy D I know. You can tell she was in love. Real love.
That’s the look of love... Unfortunately. Not too many of that nowadays.😔

It's 2022 and Ashford and Simpson's songs are still powerful, mesmerizing, and good as ever!!!
These treasures should never be forgotten. Rip Mr. Simpson.. Blessings to Mrs. Simpson.
Mr. Ashford (R.I.P) Mrs. Ashford ❤❤
Such a God- gifted couple, who wrote soooo many beautiful songs!! These songs are classics, performed by this amazing legendary couple as well as other legendary artists!!

I was born in 1971 and every time i listen to Ashford and Simpson it reminds me of my mother and father loving each other. This song reminds me of my childhood, when the world was family orientated.
Oh my God the greatest love song of the 70’s 🙏🏿 Thank you Lord for the wonderful memories 🎶🙌🏾
"True Love" , you can hear it and see it in their expression. Yes, it's still good to me...Brings tears to my eyes to hear them sing. So beautiful
Omg Real Love. They were special. ❤
😅BEAUTIFUL VIDEO.... BEAUTIFUL COUPLE..... and, I'm in tears..... it's just the BEAUTY I see in this video. Also, just saw on Facebook (2day 8 29 2023) it's Valerie Simpson B/day

Nick and Val are one of the greatest song writing teams ever; Teddy and Stephanie really take this somewhere else!
They sang to each other all the time and never at each other. Their love showed every time they were seen. Beautiful!!
I absolutely love how they sang to each other. I love the words,melody and everything about this song
This song touches me to the core every time I hear it, best husband and wife duo❤
They were one of the best duets of all time beautiful couple many God bless Valerie and give her strength really love their music.
One of the greatest soul duets of all time. Teddy did a great version, Patti and Luther killed it, but Nic and Val always and forever have my heart.
Ashford and Simpson y'all make the great Duo and one thing about it least you know what love is from your husband you have people out here will kill for that type of love
yes this is that love song right here~2019~
This song should have been huge.
They had greater crossover success with their club/dance music than with their soulful ballads.
Great song.
I wonder do people know how incredibly amazing these 2 artists were. They wrote for some of the biggest artists in the world..Chaka Khan, Marvin Gaye, and Diana Ross..just to name a few. And their own music as well. I love this one & "Send It " is a favorite too. RIP Nick Ashford...miss his falsetto.
This was REAL music. They set a standard. And it's still good.
Also, Nick's pictures don't do him justice. In person, he was breath taking. Yes.
Some people are just made for each other! What a beautiful pair. its hard seeing one without the other. Rest easy Nick
LovelyFlower44 OMG You just hit a home run with those comments TRUE DAT 4SURE! !
So true.. No one can break that bond..
Fills my heart with joy great music forever
Never know about the trashy people that tried to pull them apart such ashame we will never know their pain.
For real❤️
OH MY SWEET LORD!!!! This is Simply beautiful. I Can actually feel their love for each other!..what a blessing!!!💜💜💜💜💜 REAL BLACK LOVE
Yes! The world needs to see this so called "Black Love" again! It's so desperately needed... Real love, compassionate, genuine expression in REAL MUSIC!!! Timeless! I only hope that our audience one day experiences our love for one another this way!!!! You can see and feel it.. touches you to the core!
Amen.
2019 yall still listening to this beautiful classic.🖤🖤
It's amazing how even after all these years I can play this and still push the repeat button! Just as beautiful as the first time heard it...
Christina SMILES Luna beautiful song days dont come no more love feeling seeing the sunset. love in the hart its gone
So true and so well put. This music today lacks a quality that's so apparent in every inch of this work. Lyrics, sound, presentation....it seems like a perfect marriage!
I just did that😆 for the Umpteenth time😂😂😂😂
Ha ha I'm just about to do that too.

I honestly forgot how beautiful this song is, they were such a dynamic couple, I can only imagine how special their bond as husband and wife, pouring your heart out to the absolute love of your life in a song.

NOW THAT I'M GOING THROUGH MY TWELVETH YEAR OF MARRIAGE THE LYRICS ARE SO RAW AND REAL IT MAKES ME CRY... BECAUSE THEY TRULY HAVE NEW MEANING TO ME.
The person that you asking this question to your husband is it still good to do you Gotta make him feel like it’s still good to you too and that he should want to ask you the same damn thing because he can see it in your ass that is still good to break his heart with love girl
They showed us of what life was about in song................may God have his eyes on them!
The way Valarie glow into his eyes with the way she looks at him is beautiful amazing lovingly
A dynamic writing duo & a more accomplished Singing 🎤 Duet. But first & foremost they were truly a loving husband & wife who just happened to be singers👍🏿

I saw Ashford and Simpson in Providence, RI many years ago and still remember Nick saying beautiful things about Valerie. I always admired their beautiful Union. 💐
This is what it's like when you are soul mates! Every thing seems to fall in place. There where never be
another Ashord and Simpson. This is as good as it gets. Heaven sent.
You never know who your soulmate can be. Nick was sent by God as a homeless man looking for a meal. And Valerie noticed Nick. And the rest was magic!
The most beautiful duo couple ever....R.I.P....The late legendary Mr. Nick Ashford,
and stay strong Ms. Valerie Simpson....you two will definitely reunite back together
in heaven again, and thank you for all the beautiful memories of your timeless music.
So beautiful, a magical duo , they are true soul mates. I'm stopped in my tracks every time I hear their voices making audio love to each other.. My heart is broken that they are now separated by death, but I know the will one day be reconnected and will continue
to create their God given gift for eternity…..
beautiful souls real love true soul mates
Your Right !!! Just Beautiful !! God give all of us that Love !!!! Take your time young man you will know. God bless you !!!
Nick and Valarie was just meant to be together. RIP Nick!! Thanks for your great talent!! Much love Valarie.

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
Absolutely amazing duet ,perfect harmony,,so much talent ,,,R.i.P,,thru your songs will live forever , Carinho to all ,,C

That song is absolutely amazing. Great writing and singing.
I couldn't stop listening to Ashford and Simpson growing up. They made beautiful music. They told stories with their music and you could feel their emotions behind the words. They had something special.
YOU JUST HIT THAT ONE OUT THE BALLPARK TRUTH TO BE TOLD AMEN! !!!!!!!!
I saw them in concert in Providence, RI. Nick gave so much love to Valerie that it was beautiful. ♥️ RIP Nick. We all loved you and your family.
I thank God for blessing me growing up during that MAGICAL MUSICAL ERA...Motown-TSOP... from the 60's thru the 80's were the decades of the Best Original Music Produced.... and to a certain degree the 90's.... What we have today can't even call it MUSIC....So Sad!!!!
It's still good after all these years!
Brenda Henderson nick was deep
You or right Henderson’
They were so in love! To answer their question, yes it's still good to me...In fact it's great! Love these people!
shawna lewine their the best
yeah,...the mills are hard on everything that is not about them, and their "unearned" "entitlements"...African american .history is not taught in school, if it is?..its severely edited. we need unedited black history saturday school or We ain't gonna respect ourselves, we ain't gonna get much help from them-the mills, we aint gonna survive without each other, and we ain't gonna never be free!
❤️
Carla Linton. I love Ashford and Simpson. They are one of my favorite Duo Artists of all times. One of my favorite songs by Ashford and Simpson is called. Is It Still Good To Ya. This is one of my favorite old school slow jams back in the day.

Happy birthday to Nick Ashford who would've been 75 today had he still been with us, of course Nick along with his lovely wife Valerie Simpson wrote "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing", and "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)" also wote & produced numerous of Motown artists over the yrs as well as their own solo material like this song
J Eshun nick was so bless
My favorite song by them and when I watch this video I get all teary eyed. To me,besides being one of the all time great singer songwriter duo,when you watch Nick and Valerie on this video clip,they epitomized what true love really looks like.
These two were the best husband & wife song writing (& singing) duo ever... I've seen them a few times in concert here in NY back in the 90s as a teenager... NIck was SO into Valerie and she into him, you could see their love was pure and real... They were such a dynamic duo :)
Still listening and enjoying this classic in 2019
I love this. I'm feeling it! I can watch this over and over again and it just takes me to another place ❤
OMG Tracee You just hit a homerun with those comments 💯💯👍I grew up on this magical sound so grateful to have lived through this era of beautiful music this kind of music will never go out of style 💞💞👍 The lyrics that yank ur heartstrings for decades 💕💕💕Do U Agree???
