"It Seems to Hang On" (12" extended version) - Ashford & Simpson

Ashford & Simpson performing a mix of songs in a compilation of edited clips dubbed with the 12” extended version of my favorite from them, “It Seems to Hang On” (1978).

[@winelover3966]

Omg, this song makes me cry. I have loved this song since I was little girl in the 70’s because life was so different back then. No internet, no reality TV etc., singers had real God given talent. These two were my childhood and I often wondered why there hasn’t been a movie written about everything they did for music while having their own career also & being married for almost 40 years before Nick’s death. Rest In Paradise Nick. ❤️❤️

[@jaybethatdude]

I feel you.

[@jeffreychandler8666]

I can always remember the tremendous talent from Ashford and Simpson. As creators of hit songs for various artist during the 60's -- 70's and beyond. When they sang together as a couple, Ashford and Simpson continually created hit after hit, and many concerts SOLD OUT! A great time, also, because of the beauty, and positive " SPIRITUAL " values and goodness integrated within many songs. Lastly, Ashford and Simpson brought joy to your heart and soul. Thanks, You Tube!
