Ashford & Simpson to Release Live CD + DVD – The Real Thing

Ashford & Simpson
Ashford & Simpson: The Real Thing – Available January 27th
Burgundy Records / Sony Music

Ashford & Simpson: The Real Thing
DVD & Blu Ray contains over 90 minutes of exciting concert
performances with 18 of the Greatest Hits filmed in HD video and
surround sound digital audio. The popular New York City
spot, Feinstein’s at the Loews Regency, was carefully selected as the
setting for its intimacy and the energy a performer and audience can
experience only in a nightclub surrounding. Having played larger venues
such as Radio City Music Hall,
the group realized that a big location could not create special
moments. They were right, this unique location created the background
for memorable highlights: Valerie’s personal interaction with fans out
in the audience as well as a special impromptu performance by Freddie
Jackson. Nick spotted Jackson in the audience, walked from the stage to him and handed him a mic. Jackson took the mic and sang along side Nick which the audience ate up.

There
is thirty minutes of bonus content which includes a retrospective
feature from CBS Sunday Morning, an intimate at-home interview and 2
tracks from a never-before-seen concert of Dr. Maya Angelou and Ashford & Simpson performing together on stage. The DVD features an exclusive premiere of four songs from Ashford & Simpson’s upcoming Broadway musical, “Invisible Life.”

Ashford & Simpson: The Real Thing
CD features 14 Greatest Hits with over 65 minutes of live performance
as well as a link giving the consumer access to ringtones, audio &
video streams, links to purchase recordings of Ashford & Simpson songs that have been recorded by other artists and never-before seen interviews.
