Solid (song)

Solid (song)

"Solid" is a hit single recorded by the songwriting duo Ashford & Simpson. It was released as a single in late 1984.

It was written by the two and follows a similar template of most of their hits for other artists, except with a slight 1980s inflection to the music, since that is when it was recorded. In the lyrics, the narrators of the song celebrate the fact that, through all the difficulties and problems their relationship has faced, they made their love stronger by learning how to forgive and trust each other, and their love for one another remains "solid as a rock."

It remains as their biggest hit single as performers, topping the US R&B chart, peaking at number 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and peaking at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart in 1985. It was the 16th best-selling single of 1985 in the UK.
