We have lost a talented writer and producer and a loving dear friend Nick Ashford. I send my thoughts and condolences. My heart goes out to his loving wife, Valerie Simpson and family. I send my love and prayers to you.

Thank you for all your great production and songs from Ain’t No Mountain High Enough to Reach Out and Touch, The Boss and many others. Your music will live on forever. You will truly be missed. DR

Yes. I saw this and shared it with members of another message board I post on.

The writing sounds like it came from the real Diana Ross, not a ghost writer.

You are right Rob, I was thinking the same think when I read it. I have been playing Nick and Val's recordings all day.

The FLOS also paid tribute to Nick Ashford on their Facebook page [[Scherrie Payne wrote the tribute) and Katherine Anderson Schaffner paid tribute to Ashford on the Marvelettes fan page at Facebook.

I believe the words in the messages come from Ms. Ross, but she has someone type it in. I don't see Ross posting links of her own videos herself.

One would hope so. Typing and linking are for minions, not divas and superstars.

It was such an honor to perform on the same stage with Ashford and Simpson at the Sunset Junction several years ago. I'll always remember that night. It was special for me. I always loved and admired them over the years, not only for their tremendous talent, but for their endearing and loving relationship. Now, Nick has gone on to Glory. But, greatness never dies. His music and lyrics will last a lifetime and beyond. I pray for his wife, Valerie, and their two daughters, and ask that God will give them strength and comfort during this tremendous time of pain and loss.

Diana Ross posted on FB, well, no big deal, IMO. So many others did, to pay their respect to Nick Ashford. Like Katherine Anderson Schaffner, ex-Marvelette.

That's what I was thinking, Robert. ^^
