Question About Nick Ashford Songs

[mark speck]

I need a little help here...I wanted to sing a Nick Ashford-related song last night at karaoke, but for the life of me, I couldn't think of anything that wasn't Marvin and Tammi or Ashford and Simpson, aside from "Let's Go Get Stoned". Can you name me some other songs written by Nick that aren't duets?

It got to the point that I almost sang both parts of "Ain't Nothin' Like the Real Thing", which would have been pretty scary!! Thanks in advance for any help.

Best,

Mark

Out of all of those songs, the only song available for karaoke is "Solid", which I'd have to learn and also get someone to sing the female part. I doubt the other LP's you mentioned would have songs that are available on karaoke, plus they're not guy songs. Thanks anyway.

Is "Can't Seem To Get You Out Of My Mind" [[ as recorded by THE FOUR TOPS ) available on Karaoke?

Its certainly a "Guy" song :)

No, it's not, Roger...since it was nowhere near being a hit, karaoke manufacturers don't have an interest in making it available, but thanks anyway.
