Not only were a they a dynamic duo they wrote hits for a number of artists as well. Rest in Peace Nick Ashford

[@akastarchild]

They were a great team. Their songs were beautiful and soulful. They wrote good songs for others but their songs took on a much deeper meaning when they performed them themselves. You could hear the love in their voices. Amber and Jay should listen to "Is It Still Good To You," next. Then they will hear what we are trying to get them to understand.❤❤❤

[@bunnyheywood]

My absolute top favorite song by Peaches & Herb. Such a beautiful song. "Reunited"came out just as I had reunited with a guy I was soooo crazy about...I broke the relationship off telling myself I would be fine without him ...but every day was torture without him....two months later I broke down and called him crying and apologizing and he was so glad and we reunited and we happy once again. This song came out the very same week and to this day many,many decades later this reminds me of our time together. Growing old together wasn't meant to be but it was great in the time we had together and we made some fabulous and wonderful memories.😊

[@hustledude]

Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson … they wrote a lot of great songs together … R I P NICK ASHFORD …

[@vanessa4u4evr]

The story of this couple reads almost like a fairy tale. You are looking at LEGENDS here. From writing hits for Ray Charles to writing and producing 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' for Motown, plus hundreds of other hits for themselves and other singers, they ascended from struggling artists to musical icons - LITERALLY. Got to see them perform in 1977 (or 78) at Crampton Hall on Howard University's campus when I was a student there. They were really young then and they turned it out. Rest In Peace Nick Ashford. And carry on Valerie Simpson. You guys set the night on fiyah back in the day. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥♥️

[@ken7531077]

An 80's classic

[@Friend_Of_The_Muse]

Ashford and Simpson were a married power house songwriting duo for many other artist/hits. Every now and then they would do their own songs/hits. They wrote the Marvin Gaye/Tammy Terrell hit "Aint no mountain high enough".

[@MrSwitzerland1234]

Talk about taking me back to a happy time. They were magic. RIP Nicholas Ashford

[@clg3697]

Suggest Nick Ashford & Valerie Simpson as singers - "Is It Still Good To Ya" showcases Nick's falsetto & "Send It" are both ballads with their magical harmonies. "Found a Cure" is upbeat & dance at the disco. "Street Corner" has the beat and I love the bass. Thanks for the reaction. 💜 Ashford & Simpson as songwriters are an essential part of music education & music history.

[@rickeyjay7164]

Such a great husband and wife team - Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson! This was their biggest hit as a duo, but as composers, they wrote a bunch of hit songs for other artists. They wrote, Ain’t No Mountain High Enough and I’m Every Woman among other classic songs. RIP Nick

[@Earcandy73]

Nick Ashmore and Valerie Simpson. They spent much more time writing for the Motown greats: “Ain’t Nothin’ Like the Real Thing” by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell along with “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by Martin & Tammi, then also Diana Ross. They also wrote “Reach Out and Touch Somebody’s Hand” and “Remember Me” for Miss Ross. They were songwriting royalty. A lovely couple. Nick passed away just a few years ago.

[@debibailey2968]

Shot in Central Park, in 1984, this is pretty much what life was like, in Central Park, in 1984 There best performing single, reaching #12 in October of 1984. It was their only Gold record and only song to reach the Top 20 Nick Ashford passed away in 2011, at 70 years old

[@lreed1040]

Great song and reaction! For a jam give their "It Seems To Hang On" a try. Another Duo you would also enjoy would be Peaches & Herb. Start with their 1978 hit "Shake Your Groove Thing" for some definite chair dancing and then their 1978 hit "Reunited" for that romantic chill. Their 1980 hit "I Pledge My Love" is also a definite Romantic Chill vibe. There, another new duo for you. I have to throw in two other songs. One by Cherrelle & Alexander O'Neal. It's called "Saturday Love" and the other is "Don't Look Any Further" by Dennis Edwards & Siedah Garret. You both would enjoy these two also. "With You I'm Born Again" by Billy Preston & Syreeta also. How could I forget to add this Beautiful love song. It's another must.

[@TheOicyu812]

In 1985, I was a sophomore in high school and one of my classes flew to Greece for a week. On the flight over I must have listened to this song on the inflight radio station countless times. The song had just been released the year prior (1984) and was still getting a lot of play on the radio. I loved it then and I still love it now.

[@ramzgirl]

Omg my husband sings that song all the time. Amazing!!!!

Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson. Before Asford and Simpson became the powerhouse singers, they wrote many songs performed by many Motown artist.

[@davidscott129]

I'm one of the many who suggested this song. When homeless Nick Ashford went to a church mission for a meal, and heard Valerie Simpson singing gospel, the universe forged a connection that resulted in one of the greatest R&B duos ever. They were also great songwriters, creating hits for Aretha, Ray Charles, Diana Ross and many others.

Married until Ashford's death at age 70 in 2011, this couple were very successful songwriters as well as performers. They wrote hits for many stars before and after joining Motown. Among their Motown hits were 4 of the great Marvin Gaye-Tammi Terrell hits, including Ain't No Mountain High Enough and You're All I Need To Get By, and I'm Gonna Make You Love Me for the Supremes and Temptations together.

Yes Ashford & Simpson is a husband/wife duo that their biggest heyday was the late 70’s and early 80’s although they had many songs “Solid” is their biggest hit and their signature song, growing up as a kid this song was all over the radio and it’s a great song too, I’m with you Jay, my favorite part was on the chorus when they say “h-h-h-h-hot!” 😂

Diana Ross, Chaka Khan, Aretha Franklin, 5th Dimension, Ray Charles, and of course Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. And the list goes on. Nick and Val worked at Motown back in the 60s writing and producing. We miss them, they definitely left their mark on popular music. RIP Nick.

[@Seagate1-dh6it]

Another Duo you would enjoy would be Yarbrough & Peoples that most forget about. Three wonderful songs by them to hear would be "Don't Stop The Music" (1980), "Don't Waste Your Time" (1984) and "Heartbeats" (1982). They were married in the middle of their music career and are still married. "Don't Waste Your Time" is my personal favorite and then "Heartbeats". Both songs are Gems to hear. Another Gem of a song that I feel you both would enjoy is "Who Do You Love" by Bernard Wright. Maria Adler does vocals with him. They sound great together and the back and forth between the two match so well. Not considered an official duo song but to me they sound great together and like I stated earlier a wonderful musical gem for the ears.

[@jvsmith7888]

A real love story, married in 1974, together for 37 years until Nick Ashford's death in 2011.
