Beautiful story. Thank you!

[@syncsummit]

You know what is so beautiful? You can tell how much they truly loved each other - and this song is a testament to that. That's so rare.

Everytime I head this song it takes me back to 1984!

Great song. The clarity of their voices. Every line has a meaning.

I've always liked the chord progressions in this song. Very unique.

[@tremainelymon6857]

Ashford was protected by the man upstairs,then God led him to a church for a nice meal, and thats where he come up on his wife valerie Simpson, ain't no way he could have lost with a valerie Simpson.

[@0Imtheslime0]

They wrote many top songs, but this was not one of them..

[@mikekaraoke]

Totally disagree

[@DrWhom]

Big hit though.

[@kimberly6211]

I disagree this was one of their big hits

[@hevyonez97]

Yes it was, shoot, this cut has stood the test of time just like the other classic songs they recorded before then...not every song was gonna be Ain't No Mountain High Enough....

[@dorianharris1633]

This was one of their biggest hits, not just in America but around the world. Chart wise it was actually bigger than the original Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell version of Ain't No Mountain High Enough.
