All I Need to Get By

Nick Ashford died the other day. Ashford and his wife Valerie Simpson were a Motown-based variant on the singer/songwriting teams that came out of the Brill Building in the 1960s. And their songbook compares favorably with King/Goffin, especially the wonderful songs they wrote that Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell performed in the 1960s. Hit the video above.
