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.❤❤❤

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. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥♥️

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.

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.
