5.0 out of 5 stars After all these years...IT'S STILL SOUNDS GOOD!, June 7, 2002

Ashford and Simpson made some of the best soul music in the 70s and 80s. They are most known for their 1984 hit, "Solid" but it is their earlier material for Warner Bros. Records that sounds the best! My favorite songs are "It Seem To Hang On", "Get Up and Do Something" and the title track. It's ashame that music this good is no longer being made and heard on the airwaves. Today's soul music is alright but I think the infusion of hip hop makes soul music today lose its quality and endurance and prevents anything from becoming classics, unlike the wonderful songs made in the late 70s and early 80s. Buy this album and treat your ears to what real soul music sounds like....believe you will not regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hopsack and Silk at their finest., February 1, 1999

This review is from: Is It Still Good to Ya (Audio CD)

This is a must have for all silky soul aficionados. Nothing can capture the true essence of this husband and wife singer/songwriter duo like the title track. The tune "It Seems To Hang On" is a song that kinda leaves a lot to the imagination--a truly inspired version of it, however, can be found on A&S's live album, "Performance". "Ain't It A Shame" which, I think, was intially to showcase Nick's vocal prowess, ends up showing off Val's pipes in the few lines of the refrain. "You Always Could" is vintage A&S. Is it still good...? I'd say it is.
