Yes! That very tone of regret would have been out of place/character for her debut - not to mention how genuinely disingenuous it would have been!

Yes! That very tone of regret would have been out of place/character for her debut - not to mention how genuinely disingenuous it would have been!
I always picture Stevie himself blowing the whistle…
A great transitional song, for sure - a look back while also looking forward with some regret and sadness. If it had been billed as DR solo, I think it would have worked fine, but sending the wrong...
I thought the same thing! And we all know that no one wants these Supremes projects out more than Andy and George.
Maybe we could fan-fund the releases? I’d be happy to give a generous amount!
Often times the shot cuts to the interviewer because they’ve made an edit to the subject’s responses and the cutaway to the interviewer hides the cut - it’s not always because the interviewer is a...
Amen! I shudder to think what sort of stupid stuff I did before hitting 25 [[or, let’s face it…35! ;))
Whenever I hear/consider stories about Diana’s behavior [[especially during the 60’s), I just try to remember that she had Berry egging her on, too; her natural all-consuming ambition and...
The expanded booklets are just as sublime as the music!
You did it for massive fans like me! I LOVE your website and am so glad you did it! All that archived material is a dream come true!
I totally agree - she’s great here and, frankly, the competition probably only makes her better!
Does anyone know if The Andantes were instructed to try and sound like Mary and Flo? If this was addressed elsewhere, my apologies…
Love it! It’s so reminiscent of this, right?!

I never heard that - fascinating!
What I understood from the story is that he was able to get sales numbers and figured out himself what she had coming in platinum and gold records, not that he somehow got her and the Supremes...
Reflections is way up there for me - I even like to think that both Flo and Cindy are on there somewhere…
Point taken but this doesn’t help to validate her claims, either - it’s simply more to consider. I have no idea what really happened, either, but I think it’s an easy mistake to always believe...
Well, it’s worth noting that two of Joan’s other children deny Christina Crawford’s tales of child abuse....
Diana doesn’t seem to “push” anything - she did very little press for THANK YOU [did she even do any?] - it’s just not her thing, so it didn’t surprise me when she seemed to have little involvement...
Why would you even have that idea? And how could she even “stop” them if she wanted to? We’ve been very lucky to have as many expanded releases as we’ve had so, if even if your theory was correct,...
YIKES!, right?
Ha! Actually, it’s a real testament to her that that line doesn’t sound even worse than it does! Same with
“Out of the pot she ate
Never used a fork or a dinner plate”
Cringe!
And now at this moment, I’m going with this from A-Go-Go’s “Baby, I Need Your Lovin’” [[quite possibly my very favorite bit from her/The Supremes ever):
“In the midnight hours, When I reminisce...
And, at this moment, I’m going with a bit from LILAIIMH [[especially from the live version on Sullivan):
“Now, when you're ill
You take a pill
When you're thirsty
Drink your fill
What you...
SO many to choose from! At this moment I’m going with “I cry not for myself, but for those who’ve never felt the joy we’ve felt” from IHAS..
Amen! He is sorely missed…
