RIP. They made some of my all-time favorite songs.

With this and Jerry Leiber dying today, music took a serious hit today.

I don't believe in Heaven, but I still like to think the guys and gals behind the great soul tunes make it there.

At first I thought it said "Ashley Simpson Dead."

He was one of the significant 'Golden Age Motown' writers/artists. Great talent loss. :(

I can't wait for the Chuck Klosterman article to tell us why we should feel bad for making fun of Ashford's music. Oh wait, that won't happen because he didn't suck.

RIP dude. You were a mainstay of parents 1970's record collection.
