No wind (no wind), no rain (no rain), nor winter's cold

Oh, lordy - we need this! A three-day Bank Holiday weekend, with all the forecasts pointing to a heatwave...

Today also happens to be the 85th birthday of the late, great Nick Ashford, best known with his wife Valerie Simpson for their 80s blockbuster sing-along Solid ["Solid as a cock rock"...].

Perhaps less well-known was the fact that - alongside the far more lauded Holland–Dozier–Holland, Norman Whitfield and Smokey Robinson - the duo was responsible for writing several of the songs that became "Motown Classics", including You're All I Need To Get By, Remember Me, Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing, The Onion Song and Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand). After Motown, they wrote It's My House for Miss Ross, Chaka Khan's I'm Every Woman and Quincy Jones's Stuff Like That...

...and they also wrote this:

Inner Life featuring Jocelyn Brown - Ain't No Mountain High Enough

Thank Disco It's Bank Holiday Friday!

Have a great one, my lovelies...
