RIP NICK ASHFORD
I WANTED TO WRITE THIS LAST NIGHT BUT I WAS OUT, I WANTED TO TAKE THE TIME OUT TO LET ALL UNDER 25 AND EVERYBODY ELSE KNOW, WE JUST LOST ANOTHER GREAT INCREDIBLE PERSON. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE AROUND NICK AND VAL A FEW TIMES AND EVERY TIME HE WAS THE NICEST PERSON. AS I WRITE THIS IM LISTENING TO “IT SEEM TO HANG ON”. THIS WAS ONE OF THE BADDEST WRITINGÂ COUPLES EVER !!! IN MY BOOK, THEIR MUSIC EMBODIES LOVE, THE ENERGY OF NY, THE GREATNESS OF MOTOWN, AND A SOUL THAT STICKS WITH YOU A LIFETIME, YOUR WARM PRESENCE WILL BE MISSED.
LOVE JD

Very well written JD…My older sister was a HUGE fan of Ashford & Simpson so I remember their music from her play’n their songs all of the time. 1 of my favorites 2 listen 2 was “It Seems 2 Hang On.” “A snowball roll’n down the hill, I lOOk behind me it’s there still, ooooh like a shadow, it follooooows…” LOVE IT! R.I.P. Nick Ashford, ur presence will be miss’d. Thank u 4 the decades & decades of great music…”Ur All I Need 2 Get By” đ
