10 Cheesiest Love Songs Of All Time

9. Solid - Ashford and Simpson

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wN_Wbnqthg You didn't turn away When the sky turned grey Somehow we managed We had to stick together (ooh ooh ooh ooh) You didn't bat an eye When I made you cry We knew down the kine We would make it better (ooh ooh ooh ooh) This wonderful piece of 80s cheese is still hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot according to my local radio station who play it at least three times a day. The song was written and performed by husband and wife song writing team - Valerie Simpson and Nickolas Ashford. The song is a celebration of a couple's love. They have been through hard times but their love is only strengthened by them and now their love is 'solid as a rock'. It topped the US RnB chart and reached number 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1984. It reached number 3 on the UK singles chart in 1985. Check out Ashford's fabulous mullet in the video.
