I'm thrilled that Diana will be singing at this event for the Obamas. I was disappointed when she was not a part of the Motown concert they had a couple years ago at the White House.

I completely agree.

This is so cute

Above all, BG is a business man & understands the importance of putting out hit records & getting mass appeal. This is a totally different music era we're in so the tastes & trends are different. I...

Gladys Knight looked incredible!

For years, people championed for Donna to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. SMH. It's a shame to me that Donna hasn't been honored like she should. Matter of fact, has she EVER received any kind of...

^Hmmm. I wonder which song that was.

But I do know the classic "It's Raining Men" was turned down by Diana & Donna [[as well as Cher & Barbara Streisand!) before The Weather Girls made it a hit.

Ok we don't have to undermine Motown's very own to give Donna her accolades. For all Diana's "sexy cooing"...she took the song to #1 on the charts. So it resonated somehow.

But anyway, the Vh1...

Sad, sad, sad. I did not know she was battling cancer.

I wouldn't do it but it looks kinda cool.

I didn't know she was sick! Wow!

^I hadn't even known that Diana was a host for the Academy Awards until I stumbled upon an article. I wish there was some footage from that awards ceremony. Diana is fortunate to have experienced so...

The T-Neck/Epic era is their best for me...[['73-'83).

Well that's surprising.

Yes but Gladys is usually honored...I don't recall any tributes where the Pips have been recognized & awarded alongside her.

Gladys was recently honored at last year's Soul Train Awards...she had...

Dustin Fitzharris conducted interviews with 7 people who recall working on the famous Central Park concert. And some others who worked with Diana for the "Ross" album released that year.

John...

Cute interview.

The 60's output was the greatest!

After the 60's, I loved "Papa Was a Rollingstone" and "Just My Imagination".

Inspired by the Stevie Wonder thread.

I've always enjoyed Diana's voice over Martha Reeves.

It is sad that Diana is the only living principle cast member from this movie today.

^It aired yesterday too.

I wish they'd air "Lady Sings the Blues" & "Mahogany" some. I can't recall the last time I've seen those on TV. But they play "The Wiz" regularly.

Incredible!
