I met them in person at restaurant and they interrupted their dinner to take pictures with us. They appreciated and adored their fans. Such a class act.
I don't think we talk about Nick's vocals enough. They're seen more as song writers. But Nick has a slick baritone with a silky falsetto over top of it. Great male vocalist
OMG! Memories! These two were amazing, not only entertainers but wrote so much music for others! And loved each other! Miss you both so much! RIP Mr. Ashford!
I posed to "Solid" in the ANBC bodybuilding competition in 1984. Years later I met Nick at Seaside Park in Bridgeport, CT. I thanked him and told him it was because of his song that I won the contest. That video is on my channel here along with other videos some of which show Seaside Park. BTW, we both frequented Seaside Park.
I agree with you totally! My only regret I never knew about them and thus never got to see them live! I would have traveled far & wide to see their show & talent! Such a powerful combo! Plus he is such a flirt onstage with her and the audience! Does she still perform? DDG
One of the most powerful love ballads ever! I really feel the love and it makes me realize why I should fight for love and with the man I'm with it's really worth it!
Had the great privilege of seeing these wonderful folks in '78, at the Circle Star in San Carlos, Cali. They were FABULOUS! And their real affection for one another showed through then, just as it does in this terrific video. Beautiful people (including the band and back up singers - all excellent), making gorgeous music. Thank you, dear Nick and Valerie.
Awesome song! These two where so great together! Don't no if there ever be another husband and wife tandem like this ever again! This song makes you wanna set out on the back porch with yer wife,crack open a bottle of wine, and dance the afternoon away! Great ole song!
I was at the Budweiser Superfest at Madison Square Garden ,when Nick and Valerie, Pronounce they were pregnant.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. Yes .👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. I love will ALWAYS be a SOLID As A ROCK.!!!!!!!!. Fan of There's. And There Daughter is gorgeous .👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. And still during the one in 2021.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.
Wow! It was an honor to sing with both Mr.Nick and Ms.Valerie at Abyssinian. The best memory was when Nick told me he was waiting for the Spirit to tell him when it was my turn to sing on his Tuesday Blues Night at The Sugar Bar 😂 classic memories I cherish
They are and have been so underated. Both as performers and writers. Plus all the times I have heard them speak they seem to be tremendous human beings.
This was an excellent performance this song brings happy thoughts thank you Ashford and Simpson ! You will never be forgotten when ever I go to Home depot this song always plays there !
Ashford and Simpson are a beautiful singing couple and songwriters. Nick and Val are so gifted as well as energetic. Val Simpson is so sexy. Nick Ashford your memories will never be forgotten.
Valerie Simpson is the reason I have wanted Locs since 1972. But the love that she and the tall sexy hunk had was and Always will be Solid as a Rock. After 2 Babies she knew how to keep her Rock Solid.
Gran dueto y extraordinaria melodía...no me canso de ver este vídeo ritmo e interpretación de gran ejecución los amo!!! lástima que esa gran voz se apagó pero nos dejó un legado único!!!
These two made a beautiful couple, i can't think of a couple that were together as tight as these two people nick it's sad that you couldn't hang on just ten more years man you were part of a great duo, my hat is off to the both of you 😢
Wonderful music video! Brings out the feelings in me as if I were at the live music festival. Very well produced, great camera views of the band and the audience, great clear audio. My congratulations to everyone involved in the creation of the Ashford and Simpson video.
