Collection: Ashford & Simpson
Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson in two label phases: soul and disco albums on Warner Bros. Records such as Send It and Is It Still Good To Ya, then 12-inch singles on Capitol Records. Outta The World leans boogie, Solid stays disco, and Nobody Walks In L.A. from 1986 moves into dance-pop and freestyle.
Nickolas Ashford, Valerie Simpson
[a268165 and [a268169 were a husband and wife songwriting-production team. They started writing and recording together in 1964, and two years later wrote their first hit song - "Let's Go Get Stoned", recorded by [a30552. They then took up staff positions at [l1723, where they wrote and produced hits for [a18984 and [a47742. During their stay at Motown, Valerie released a couple of solo albums which flopped, prompting her and Ashford to leave in 1973. From then on, the duo concentrated on making their own records, though they also penned [a17035's hit "I'm Every Woman" before finally achieving recognition as artists in their own right. They had two daughters: Nicole Ashford and Asia Ashford.
Both were inducted into Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2002.
