It is with great regret that I inform you all that
singer-songwriter Nickolas Ashford passed away on Monday, August 22, 2011 of
complications resulting from throat cancer. The duo Ashford & Simpson is
famous for such popular songs as "Solid (As a Rock)," "Is it
Still Good to You", and "Found a Cure". Amazingly, they co-wrote
big hits for other artists such as "Let's
Go Get Stoned" (Ray Charles), "Ain't No Mountain High
Enough", "You're All I Need to Get By," and "Ain't Nothing
Like the Real Thing" (Marvin and Tammi), and "I'm Every Woman"
(Chaka Khan).
Nick exhibited his acting ability in the blockbuster "New
Jack City" (1991).
The husband-and-wife duo was inducted into the Songwriters' Hall
of Fame in 2002.
I am certain that our sincere best
wishes go out to Valerie Simpson in her time of loss. R.I.P. Nick!
