Damn, two of the great songwriters in one day.

Nick Ashford (of Ashford & Simpson) and Jerry Leiber (who co-wrote with Mike Stoller) passed away yesterday.

Does it get any better than this? Maybe, but not much.

More Ashford (including the Diana Ross version of above) and some Leiber tunes compiled:

Nick Ashford co-wrote a bunch of the Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell songs. So bummed. I can't even say how important those songs are to me.

Ditto. If you haven't yet check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz-UvQYAmbg

Of course the song is fantastic. Perfect, even. Few things move me like Marvin Gaye's voice, but one of the few are their voices combined. But I love the video. Those two are beautiful.

I knew I had a bunch of Ashford and Simpson scattered throughout my music collection. So I just searched Ashford on itunes and came up with a 15 song playlist of Ashford and Simpson hits from 9 different artist.  Did you know they wrote I Don't Need No Doctor by Humble Pie?

It's this one. There are a couple weird things on there, and at least one live performance where he looks cracked like an egg, but the rest is sweet as hell.

Whilst answering this question I discovered that my local video rental place has Save the Children. I will be watching it this time home.
