DJ Grizz- Ashford and Simpson Mix

Welcome back and time for another tribute mix. This time its the prolific singer songwriter couple Ashford and Simpson whose career as writers for Motown and later Gold selling recording artists spanned the early 60's through to the late 80's. Responsible for writing hits such as Ain't No Mountain High Enough, Reach out and Touch, I'm Every Woman... heres a selection of my favorite tracks from the late Nick and Valerie.

We've hits like Mighty Mighty and Love or Physical, there's the wicked Top Of The Stairs, the instrumental of the Gladys Knight hit Bourgie Bourgie, a Grizz favorite in Its Seems to Hang On and we end on Have you Ever Tried It.
