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!

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.

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!
