Rest In Power Nick Ashford

Nick Ashford, of musical super-couple Ashford & Simpson, joined the ranks of our artistic ancestors today at age 70.  In addition to creating for their own successful duo career, the two have a laundry list of credits, including penning hits within the Motown Machine and owning the Sugar Bowl in NYC.

Ironically, he spent much of his life with his wife as a powerhouse duo, singing and making music, and met his last breaths as a result of throat cancer.  

Live a life you love…

#RIPNickAshford. Wow. 

Everybody’s Mama got an Ashford and Simpson record…or they wrote a song your Mama LOVES. 

Rest in peace, Sir.
