Ashford & Simpson - Solid

Nickolas Ashford - nascido a 4 de Maio de 1941, e falecido a 22 de Agosto de 2011 - e Valerie Simpson - nascida a 26 de Agosto de 1946 - conhecidos como Ashford & Simpson, foram um casal de compositores e produtores musicais norte-americanos. Ashford compôs a canção "Ain't No Mountain High Enough".

Na década de 1980 (1984), interpretaram o hit "Solid", que alcançou o n.º 1 no top dos Estados Unidos, em que referem que, apesar das dificuldades que tinham como casal, o amor mantinha-se sólido como uma rocha.

Ashford nasceu em Fairfield, na Carolina do Sul, e Simpson no Bronx, Nova Iorque. Conheceram-se na Igreja Baptista White Rock do Harlem em 1963. Depois de terem gravado, sem sucesso, como uma dupla, juntaram-se a Joshie Jo Armstead, Ronnie Milsap e Maxine Brown, bem como as The Shirelles e Chuck Jackson.

Ashford morreu num hospital de Nova Iorque, a 22 de Agosto de 2011, devido a complicações causadas por um cancro na garganta.

Ashford And Simpson

Solid

And for love's sake, each mistake, ah, you forgave

And soon both of us learned to trust

Not run away, it was no time to play

We build it up and build it up and build it up

And now it's solid

Solid as a rock

That's what this love is

That's what we've got, oh, mmm…

Solid (Oh)

Solid as a rock

And nothing's changed it (Ooh)

The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot

Oh…oh…oh…ah…

You didn't turn away

When the sky went gray

Somehow we managed

We had to stick together (Ooh…ooh…ooh…ooh…)

You didn't bat an eye

When I made you cry

We knew down the line

We would make it better (Ooh…ooh…ooh…ooh…)

And for love's sake, each mistake, ah, you forgave

And soon both of us learned to trust

Not run away, it was no time to play

We build it up and build it up and build it up

Now it's solid

Solid as a rock [Ooh]

That's what this love is (Oh…oh…)

That's what we've got [Oh…oh…] (Yes, it is)

Solid

Solid as a rock

And nothing's changed it [Oh…]

The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot

Oh…oh…oh…ah…

Gone with the wind

Another friend

Got in between

Tried to separate us (Ooh…ooh…ooh…ooh…)

Oh, knock-knock on wood

You understood

Love was so new

We did what we had to (Ooh…ooh…ooh…ooh…)

And with that feeling we were willing to take a chance

So against all odds, we made a start

We got serious (Ooh), this wouldn't turn to dust

We build it up and build it up and build it up

And now it's solid (Ooh)

Solid as a rock

That's what this love is (Oh)

That's what we've got, oh (Oh, oh)

Solid (Yes, it is)

Solid as a rock (Ah…)

And nothing's changed it (Ooh)

The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot , hot , hot

Solid (Oh)

Solid as a rock (You know it) [Well] (You know it, baby)

Solid

Solid as a rock (Lovin' me, lovin' me, oh)

Solid (Don't leave me, baby)

Solid as a rock [Well, well, why, why] (Oh…)

Solid

Solid as a rock (Every day it gets sweeter, now) [Ooh]

Solid [You know I like it]

Solid as a rock (Good, good, well, it's good, good, good)

Solid (Solid, solid, solid, solid, solid)

As a rock
