in the booklet for L&F, there are a couple version of You're Gonna Come To Me. although one version was incorrectly included on WDOLG as Version 3, that was actually the 4th Version. the real...

I don't know that there was ever a full album prepared for this. TITS had cover graphics completed and all. the Live Live Live album did also at least have a mockup cover created. I'm not sure B&B...

but what would she have gone to them with? "Diana ross is mean?" "Berry and Diana are sleeping together?"

if she had, it would have also shined a light on her alcoholism which was a pretty...

who's that?

i happened to just run across this and so will share!

in another of the recent threads someone brought up the wonderful George post from several years ago outlining all of the problems and...

i was so excited to get that cd. i thought the cover pic of the girls was amazing. and then i discovered that the cassette version was a different track lineup!

i have no idea if Diana knew Marlo personally or what. Diana would later appear on Sesame Street and Muppet Show. and during the early 70s she included a Sesame Street segment in her shows and...

i scrolled through the online version of Billboard for all the July issues and didn't see anything about the Flamingo run - no reviews, no photos. of course i could have missed it

yes - i believe Randy had a pic in his last Diana book and it was at the Steel Pier. he also mentioned that Gordy wasn't 100% of exactly how they wanted the billing to read. until they eventually...

agree - too little too late.

and they were also plagued with some really odd choreography on tv.

the Sullivan debut had those weird "climbing the ladder" movement which is just too literal...

one of the ironies of the problems we all are calling out regarding the MSS lineup is that i think during the JMC lineup there wasn't ENOUGH breaking out. it's like they were a pendulum and after...

this is great!! it's so interesting to hear how other fans would reorder things. i even went all the way back to A Go Go and started with it. revamped it and then had to do Sing HDH, and then...

oh completely agree. Mary's voice and style just wasn't a great match for fast-paced disco. on a more moderate dance tune like You're What's Missing, she fits much better.

and i would assume...

i think Susaye was also woo'd into the group with talk of potentially writing and producing for the group. I mean she had just had a #1 with Deniece Williams after all. so she had the chops for it....

somewhere i thought we've seen a review of their gig their but i'm not sure if it was this particular night. i think they were on night #4 of their 2 week gig when it all fell apart. i thought the...

what would you do for the Reflections lp instead of Bah?

it's an exciting track, great rhythm and dance beat. Diana is delivering an assertive lead and isn't too nasal or whiney. to be honest, the song is sort of a Heatwave knockoff. i could easily hear...

oh of course you can change things! lol that's half the fun ;)

it would very interesting to hear what some of the original proposed lineups for the LC album were to be. we've heard that at...

i think they mostly kept that in for sentimental reasons. that was one of their first "blockbuster" MOR songs. and sort of their signature tune. most of the other MOR stuff cycled in and out. ...

i believe that story is in reference to the winter 66 performance there.

to some degree, i get it. I don't think Podell really cared all that much about Flo. it was more about inconsistencies...

there are so many excellent tunes left in the vaults and yet so many albums were filled with endless cover tunes. of course we all know this was a sales ploy - fans would see tunes they recognized. ...

i don't blame disco - look at how perfectly Diana incorporated The Boss into her act or look at her 1980 HBO concert in Vegas promoting the whole The Boss album. the audience is absolutely alive...

with both Lynda and Susaye [[and frankly even Scherrie) there wasn't a very strong effort to help redefine the group with the onset of a new singer and personality. They did eventually do some with...

totally agree that they were trying to sort of ease things in. on GH it was definitely smaller. and then the bubble lettering on Reflections just helped to make "Supremes" more legible than DR.

you'd think they could have spent the 5 mins in trying to come up with some NEW stage patter. this sassy Pearl Bailey persona just wasn't Cindy
