RIP Ashford and Lieber

It has become a sad week for the music industry with the deaths of Nick Ashford (of Ashford & Simpson) and Jerry Lieber (of Lieber & Stoller).

Between them these guys helped create a lot of the music that was my youth, everything from “Hound Dog” and “Stand By Me” to “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” and “You’re All I Need To Get By.”

Sad to see them go. They’ll be long missed.
