Love how Fellow Travelers used this song in the episode I just watched. Also, I don't know that I really ever fully appreciated the brilliance that is Ashford & Simpson.

I love playing this for people who try to tell me all disco and dance music sucks and watching them lose their shit at how great this is.

[@ronster369]

At the risk of giving away my age....I still have this 12" single and still play it.....and all my early moves come back!

And why wouldn't you! It's flawless. An anthem of the ages. A soundtrack to our youth (and more besides​).

@@JonniePolyester merci pour cette vidéo! Je ne connaissais vraiment que "Solid" as a rock en 1985, on n'entendait rien de ces sons en 1979 en France, et j'étais trop jeune surtout!

[@valeriecheersbrown4829]

There is something to be said about two people who find each other time and time again. No matter what situations they end up in or how far apart they become - they come back to each other. Those are the people who have a little thing called fate on their side. Those are the people I envy. It is almost like the world is saying, "stop separating you are meant to be together. Love always fixes itself and finds it way back." - Valerie Cheers Brown

[@sevenkendrick5843]

Valerie Brown Cheers i like to call it soul mates..i met mine in primary school. In secondary we went opposite ways losing touch for about 2yrs. then we ended up working together. Then losing track for over 15yrs.i moved to the states and continued on with my life. 2yrs. Ago i ran into her in the grocery store in Florida turns out she had moved to the states 4mos.earlier and we lived one street over from each other.
