How Ashford and Simpson are not in The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame is totally absurd. At least they are in The Songwriter Hall Of Fame. RIP Nic.
Thank you Kevin, for one of best interviews with Valerie Simpson. Her and Nick Ashford's music has been some of the greatest of our time and will be for generations to come.
It's amazing how she's been around so long and still looks so youthful. It's also amazing how the music she wrote so long ago is still bankable for her now! That's a true artist.
Excellent interview!! Ashford and Simpson's music catalog is Priceless!
People dont realize that a lot of classics that they love were written by this amazing woman here, and her late Husband.
Thank you so much for this!! She’s such an underrated songwriter
Valerie looks beautiful and what a great personality and story teller.............
I’m a spoiled brat. I am a former music industry exec. I never had to ask or pay for concert tickets. But one day, my former business partner called me saying, “I have a pair of tix for Ashford & Simpon tomorrow night at Radio City. Do you want them?” Of course, I snatched them up, took my then husband and enjoyed one of the very best concerts of our lives. And I’m telling you, I’ve seen EVERYONE in concert. This was one of the best shows I’ve ever experienced. A&S has set the standard for me. No one has outdone them since.
MsValerie the piano intro was beautiful. Stay encouraged and blessed
Legendary. They absolutely should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I just got done listening to solid as a rock live. One of the greatest duos in history
Black gospel singers have brought so much into this world, amazing
Valerie Simpson on piano...the sound of Soul. Respect and RIP to her writing partner/soulmate Nikolas Ashford(May 4, 1941 - August 22, 2011).
First heard her when she did the song "Silly, wasn't I". Have loved everything she and Nick did since then. A forever fan. Grateful I saw them in concert.
Very grateful that Valerie Simpson (along with Nick Ashford) wrote some memorable music during the Motown era that will never die...👍
I REALLY enjoyed this interview! Until now, I had never heard Valerie talk about her music and her life. This conversation left me wanting a biopic!
More legendary Motown stories. I can listen to them all night.
Valerie is so hip I seen her and Ashford in concert in the La.Superdome in New Orleans La. back in the day awesome concert
I enjoyed the interview. Love listening to the stories. Valerie deserves the Kennedy Center Honor Awards. Valerie and Nick deserves every award. Love Valerie❤️RIP Nick Ashford.
I remember as a child Mrs. Valerie had those gorgeous braids or locs before they were popular...she updated the look of her braids about 20 years ago...she was ahead of her time even then... thanks to ebony magazine I got to know them as a family when I was a child.
