With the passing of the legend, Nicholas Ashford, it is yet another great moving on but leaving behind treasures that are priceless, their value immeasurable.

On September 8, 2011 Producer Jerry Ross will talk to Joe Viglione about Nick Ashford, Bobby Hebb and others at 8 PM EDT on http://www.wincam.org

_______________________
Visual Radio host Joe Viglione talks to producer Jerry Ross, the man who recorded Ashford & Simpson along with Melba Moore on Bobby Hebb's immortal "Sunny" as well as the entire "Sunny" album. September 8 at 8 PM on WinCAM.org Channel 8 on Comcast, Channel 36 on Verizon.

Mr. Ross produced Spanky & Our Gang, Keith (98.6), Jay & The Techniques and so many more. He also co-wrote "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" with Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff (Gamble & Huff of Philly International) which hit for The Temptations & The Supremes, Dee Dee Warwick and Madeline Bell

Tonight Ross and Viglione will discuss the passing of the great Nicholas Ashford.

Hit radio received a jolt, a shockwave,with the tragic passing of Nicholas Ashford on Monday, August 22. It is a significant loss of one of the creators of some of the finest pop records ever to grace an AM radio speaker. With his wife, Valerie Simpson, he crafted such memorable tunes as "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" for Diana Ross, "You're All I Need to Get By" from Marvin Gaye & Tami Terrell, "Let's Go Get Stoned" - a huge hit for Ray Charles but a signature tune as well for Joe Cocker - who performed it at Woodstock, Ashford & Simpson's own big Top 12 hit (#1 R & B) "Solid" and so many others. Ashford & Simpson produced and wrote and sang backing vocals on "Remember Me", a superb Diana Ross hit that doesn't get nearly enough airplay as an oldie.

Humble Pie took "I Don't Need No Doctor" from a Nick Ashford solo 45 PM on Verve Records and made it the centerpiece of their live lp HJMBLE PIE PERFORMANCE ROCKIN' THE FILLMORE in 1973 and was a huge FM smash.


R.I.P. Nick Ashford 8/22/11 R.I.P. Bobby Hebb 8/3/10

Two of the great voices behind the hit "Sunny". We'll talk about it from the man who made that immortal recording with these giants, the fantastic Jerry Ross.

I'm Gonna Make You Love Me co-written by Jerry Ross, Gamble & Huff
