Norman Bates is alive and well.:eek:
I agree. Perhaps they were still haunted by the days when it was all about Diana, moving just a little to far in the opposite direction.
For me the Love Child album remains perfect as is. I think “Bah Bah Bah” a dreadful idea, being as it works so perfectly on the Reflections album.
It’s always interesting to read what others think...
I really don’t see how the focal point of the problem can be aimed at Mary. The majority of the act was simply far too manic and needed to be toned down.
In my experience, unhappy people tends to...
No, it was definitely for that performance. Can anyone find it?.
The review of that particular performance was complimentary of all three women. If Flo really had been that inebriated, you would imagine they would have at least noticed something not quite right....
Cheers milven. It seems a lot of people were involved in helping to create a solid sound.
It’s an energetic little number with a memorable chorus. Are the male voices featured the Four Tops?.
She was clearly angry about something as she reportedly pushed her way back to the dressing room after the performance. Personally, i think she sensed it was all over prior to going on stage. It...
I always had a hunch you were none to keen.:rolleyes:
I think “Beginning Of The End Of Love” would have made for the perfect followup single, with its soulful, haunting vibe matching that of “Reflections”.
I also like the uplifting John Henry”, and...
The difference being the Supremes look desperate to please. I love MS&S in the studio, but live Susaye can start to become annoying.
If only they could have calmed things down. It reminds me of a...
I’m a huge fan of “Beginning Of The End Of Love”, thinking it a far more commercial sounding song than either “Forever Came Today” or “Composer”.
It’s a total head scratcher why it was never...
That’s exactly what I think happened, although my gut feeling is that Flo was tired and hungover as opposed to drunk when first entering the dressing room. What happened after, who knows for sure.
There really was no special reason for Flo to do what she did that particular night. In the PJ book she says that she was worried not knowing if she was in or out of the group, and they had just...
A huge improvement i would guess. One thing I do love regarding the Reflections album is the progression in Diana’s voice, being generally far more rounded than those early hits.
By late 67 the music world was changing, being you were less likely to get away with surrounding a hit or two with filler as Reflections is testament to.
I agree. That outfit was placed there for a reason, eventually serving its purpose.
It’s odd with the care that went into recording the R&H album, that the company would just cobble together an lp in support of one of the groups finest and most contemporary songs.
I wonder how...
Something certainly managed to get Flo’s blood boiling that final night.
The additional tuxedo makes perfect sense, as she had apparently appeared in a happy mood prior to her entering the dressing...
I agree in the lack of any promotion for the album. The timing was also far from great, being as it followed the mega selling and tv advertised compilation 20 Golden Greats from the previous year....
Diana Ross without doubt. That unique voice emanating from the radio that first caught my ear as a young kid. The others were all great in their own personal way, but no one could ever quite match...
Im guessing Gordy had a huge change of heart after he and Flo had a heated exchange regarding the marquee advertising Diana Ross & The Supremes. It’s reported he was quite upset, realising Flo was...
In hindsight, she most probably was being naive in thinking BG would remain true to his promises of career involvement and support, but Mary always did veer towards the sentimental in thinking Motown...
It’s true that the drawn out lawsuit case had left her in financial difficulty. It really was a massive shame, as i think had Mary the funds to see it through to conclusion she might well have won....
