It isn't a Motown recording. But I remember editing an Aretha/Otis "duet" on I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU TOO LONG for an Otis cassette I was making for my father.

I used to do the same thing when I was making cassettes and songs wouldn't quite fit. For Christmas 1986, I bought a great stereo [I forget the brand] and any edits made were seamless....
Diana's Simplicity designs.

Yes. I remember Eric from THE WHITE SHADOW.
Yes, this was a great feature in the series. For example, it was nice to see the brief interview with Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis which didn't make the film itself, although there was a brief reaction...
I really loved LOVE STRONG ENOUGH TO MOVE MOUNTAINS.
I think this is spot on. I remember there being big hype over this album, with ads and so much. It was one of the first albums that I ever bought, for $5 at Sears. One of my favorite aunts borrowed...
I just finished watching the last episode of the series. While I enjoyed the series very much, I thought they concentrated too much on Otis Redding and Isaac Hayes, while ignoring many of the other...

Ashford and Simpson produced JUST SAY, JUST SAY [[the first track on Side 2) and I'VE COME TO LOVE YOU SO MUCH, which wasn't released on the original album but made it to the expanded edition cd.

Great photos!
I saw Diana last night in Boston and as satisfying as the show was, I can see someone leaving somewhat frustrated at the songs she didn't perform. Of course, with so many hits under her belt, she...
Many thanks!
Are there any notes or additional photos?
It wasn't the Supremes, but when I worked at Eddie Bauer, Diana's CROSS MY HEART sometimes played over the PA system. I was rather surprised because the record was not a hit and this was in 1989, two...
In 1971, Diana did a guest spot on Danny's show MAKE ROOM FOR GRANDADDY. A few months later, Danny appeared on Diana's first solo tv special. Maybe he recommended Diana to his daughter.
I have no idea how Diana became involved.
As I kid, I just remember being excited that Diana was on a record that was being played during kindergarten. I remember my teacher teaching us the words...
This is good info to know. I have to admit that with these collections, it might take some time for me to get to the music, if I even do. In this case, when my set arrived, I went straight for the...
WHAT CONDITION MY CONDITION IS IN is a fave of mine as well. I haven't seen Bettye in concert post-Covid but I always enjoyed when she did her earlier recordings.
I have a vinyl version of the Sun release that I bought some time ago.
It is good to see that Bettye's current profile has been making many of her recordings available again. I've been hoping...
Diana's album produced by Richard Perry was released in 1977. I vaguely recall Richard Perry saying that Berry told him how much he enjoyed the album he produced on Martha. Maybe that's how he got to...
I would agree that most of the Cindy-era studio albums don't live up to those during the Flo years. But I don't think any of them are truly bad. As you said, maybe some change in sequencing and the...
Now I see it.
Diana's name was in a smaller font on LET THE SUNSHINE IN as well.
I forgot about Mary and her adlibs on MY WORLD. Although as some have mentioned in the past, they seem sort of out of place in a sad song.
