I am not Facebook friends with Willie but he is Facebook Friends with the Queen of the "Gownies". The only time I read anything about a book by Willie was when Gownie Goddess was saying once again...
I have seen on Facebook that he is writing a book. I read it in posts by the person who is friends with him on Facebook. The same person is the one who says he is writing the definitive book on the...
Way back in 1976, I was at College signing up for courses. While in line, someone had a boombox and the song it played while I was in line was "I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do The Walking". I took it as a...

If you look at the JML performance Jean was starting to separate but it was too late for the Mass public.
I think everyone was saying that prior Mary was the strength in the background maintaining an assured "coolness" that projected an elegance and sophistication. Once the group started to become a...
I absolutely loved High Energy and Mary, Scherrie & Susaye. I think they created an amazing sound in the studio recordings. Live, they just did the exact opposite and did not mesh. I know Mary wrote...
I didn't become a fan until 1970, so neither Diana Ross or Florence Ballard was in the group at that time. I had to go back and listen to records with them on it. I followed both the Supremes and...

That was very nice of Lynda to join for the show and for Susaye to be gracious enough to be replaced temporarily.
With Susaye, that is what the...

I totally agree, which is why I posed this inquiry to begin with. The Dudgeon songs were great-although I was less fond of Green River-that surely the quality of You Dance My Heart Around the Stars,...
Dreamgirls used the storyline that Effie and Curtis were a thing before he chose Deena. As for real life, thankfully Berry was not also involved with Flo and Mary.
Diana and Mary both wrote that Flo...
I admit when Mary passed I scrutinized Diana's reaction and announcements. I am sure she felt sadness of the loss of a childhood friend and former work colleague, after all they conquered quite a bit...
You click the star in the left bottom corner. It highlights I like it and a place for a comment. Just enter it without a comment added. I am only guessing that is what you are inquiring about. I have...
Diana Ross is certainly a big part of the song's appeal but the production of the song really is THE element that lifts it beyond just another disco song. Sure, Ross is appealing and playful in her...
LOL, I can just hear Flo saying to them on her last show "fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night".:D
I have a different perspective since I became a fan in 1970 when Jean started with the Supremes and Diana Ross was a soloist. I liked them both for different reasons.
I was drawn in with Jean's...
Mary was always my favorite, but I have to say that I think she was locked into the past. There was no guidance from Motown so I am sure that Mary thought this is what was successful in the past,...
It seems to me that Motown was always quite indifferent to Mary Wilson. I don't understand why. She was certainly extremely attractive and photogenic. She was clearly one third of the Supremes,...
No, it was a case where Motown did the right thing. Someday was the perfect final DRATS song. It wistfully has memories of someone moving on. Had it been her first single, some may have thought is...
.I totally agree that it feels more airy and fun but there are moments that she is playing too much and it is not as understandable. Yes, it is a high voice like Diana and Jean but the version here...
I think in 1974, Cindy was probably hopeful for a variety show since it would keep them off the road and as a Mother to a toddler it probably would have been easier to stay put. Cindy also had...
I agree that It's All Been Said Before should NOT have been the first single release off of 1975. Maybe as a prerelease of the LP in 1974 it may have whetted some curiosity. He's My Man is a stronger...
I was so excited to see the Supremes back in 1975! They certainly recorded a lot of songs for this first new album. After Jimmy Webb and the way Jean was starting to sound shrill, this album offered...
Jean did a fine job with this song. I loved how it was reworked to showcase the lyrics as opposed to a peppy arrangement of the original which was in contrast to the lyrics. In later days, Scherrie...
