    I can not believe how powerful 6 words can be in a relationship. There will never be another husband and wife duo like Nick and Val. Please give this lady her flowers BET , Soul train and honor their contributions to Black Soul music. Anybody have a petition?❤

    “Is it still good to you” No other song that I’ve ever listened too, ask this question with so much passion and heartfelt emotion. Thanks Nick and Val

    Thanks to all who have liked this video and commented on it in the past year and a half. Nick and Val were friends of mine for several years. Nick's passing really shook me! I wanted to do a fitting tribute and I knew this video was not in wide circulation. Valerie said she doesn't even remember making this video! I'm glad everyone is enjoying it. There will never be a more down to earth showbiz couple like them again!

      Is Ms Val OK? I have only visited NYC one time and the only place I wanted to visit was the Sugar Bar. She was there, listening to her younger daughter sing. Years ago I bought Gimme Something Real and was hooked. Not sure that it was their first album but I have loved them forever. Folks who are not familiar with how many songs they wrote for others are always stunned at some of the titles! I will go back to NY soon!

    This is snuggling music, after being married for so many years, you ask your significant other this question, it will definitely put you in the mood, I feel sorry for the people that dislike this song, they truly haven’t been in a real relationship in their life.

    I honestly forgot how beautiful this song is, they were such a dynamic couple, I can only imagine how special their bond as husband and wife, pouring your heart out to the absolute love of your life in a song.
    Rest In Paradise, Nick Ashford, and to answer your question, yes, "It is still good to me"💕💕

    When I was DJing and collecting records I came across Ashford & Simpson. After hearing the track Outta this world I was hooked. I immediately started collecting their other records, I noticed the pattern of seeing them both on their Album covers. Even someone who is blind to tell this is THE power couple.

    Allow me to express how remarkable this song is; it was the one I used to drift off to sleep to when I was 14 years old. Picture those evenings when you had that serene, soulful music playing softly until 1 am as you drifted into slumber.

    My favorite couple - I saw them live and you could see and feel the love they had for each other. Even in this video you can see the look of love in their eyes , especially hers because the camera focuses on hers a lot. Married 38 years. I love all of their songs and have all of their albums but this is one of my all time favorites. RIP NICK
