I played Ashford and Simpson-Solid as a current in early 1985, it was one of my favorites. I had no knowledge or appreciation at the time of all the huge hits they wrote.

I didn't know their history either when I heard "Solid"

I heard it a couple of months ago and it sounded magical...put me in a great mood. I can't think of any songs today that celebrate a relationship with such positivity.

I remember "Solid." It was a "solid" hit for them, but maybe a bit underappreciated in its day. I remember it getting airplay, but it only reached #12 pop! Went to #1 on the R&B charts! 8)

Yeah I'm surprised that it didn't do better on the Pop charts.
