RIP Nick Ashford

[El Prez]

You will truly be missed

Hey,





Yes, Nicholas Ashford will be sorely missed. His wonderful catalogue of songs with his wife, Valerie Simpson, helped to define a generation (and build Motown). RIP Mr. Ashford in the knowledge that your musical legacy will live on forever!!!





Peace,





Big Stacks from Kakalak

RIP to one of the greats. Jerry Leiber and Nick Ashford on the same day - sad.

The story about the sparrow at chapter 5 says it all, a unique, gentle soul.
