Such a grand lady. So glad I got to see her in person twice. Hope the birthday was a great one and best wishes for many more!
Yes I do and I agree, it was very comprehensive.
As I have asked many other times in regards to many other artists.....when there are expanded editions released, why in the world do they include four or five versions of the same songs and NOT...
Yessir.......CDs in August is indeed cause for celebration!
Had not heard about any Dionne album coming out in Canada or anyplace else. Guess I will have to check into that. But if it is only vinyl, I will not be interested. Same goes for this one.
This album was on Arista and although we didn't know it at the time, that label would eventually have long continuous associations with such fine ladies as Dionne, Whitney, Aretha, Phyllis Hyman,...
Rather frantic pace.......the original tempo was much better.
In my early [[formative) days of Motown-buying, I concentrated on the three better known female groups. I had to have everything they put out. I was willing to occasionally buy a record by a solo...
Glad to see I have some soulmates out there. Yes it was always fun to have an album jacket and read the liner notes and all that jazz, but CDs are soooooooo much more convenient, easier to store,...
Vinyl only???????
About 35 years ago +-, Dionne recorded a song entitled "The Promise of Life" to benefit research into SIDS [[Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.) I am pretty sure it was only available as a cassette single...
I don't think this was mentioned previously but on the CD version of Come and Get These Memories Rosalind's name is spelled Rosiland in two different places.
Definitely missed as are many other Motown artists. Since Diana and Stevie, to name a couple, are still with us, just imagine how much longer and stronger the classic Motown Sound could have lasted...
Keep em coming and along this same line, how about some Linda Clifford, Gwen Guthrie, and a few others that come to mind?
You guys never cease to amaze me. Thanks for the input!!!
Hmm the plot thickens..........
Thanks for responding but that is the US version, which is apparently pretty easy to find. There are 6-8 for sale on Ebay although oddly none on Discogs.
But I am trying to figure out which...
You guys are usually pretty good at solving mysteries, so let's see what you can do with this one. I have acquired a CD [[hopefully I have successfully attached photos) and I am trying to figure out...
I saw this lumped into one news article so I will in turn salute both these fine ladies, and another show biz icon, on their upcoming [[or maybe here already) birthdays.
I believe that today...
If this collection felt the need to include some Motown songs, at least they chose two of the most under-appreciated, yet fantastic songs of all time by our beloved Velvelettes and Elgins. We might...
I am confused by all these different awards and categories. Has it always been that way? I thought the normal process was that they announced a field of 15-20 nominees each year, and then there was a...
Is the release date really May of 2025 as opposed to this May?
If you liked their music, I would still suggest giving it a try. I saw the [[then current) Spinners about 5 years ago, and although they were younger guys, they put on a great show and delivered the...
My first introduction was the two-sided hit "My Ship" and "Remember What I Told You to Forget." Many other great ones followed such as the clever Whodunit.
