I grew to love this album, it is to me a mood lp of sorts and clearly designed to focus on Diana Ross at the expense of the Supremes. Every song on Side A works for me. Side B has its hits and...

I saw her live at the New Orleans Jazz Fest around 2000 and she was an amazing bundle of energy on stage. I can listen to I Need Your Lovin', Behind the Groove or Square Biz anytime! She also made...

Back then they didn't know about PTSD or bipolar disorder. She wound up on anti-depressants, I think traces of one was in her blood at the time of death.

In fact, on one of Flo's entrances into...

There was some talk of a GH package of Jean material and Diana solo in 1974. Instead, Britain got the excellent 16 track Greatest Hits, Diana was making a comeback off of Lady Sings and was hot with...

It wasn't "foolish" of Mary to drop the lawsuit, she really had no choice. Motown bled her dry. This was a mega-company with in house attorneys and Mary had to spend most of what she made on her...

I have to say I think they had no choice in letting him go. He had the voice and the looks but lacked the macho-ism it takes to be a Temptation.

If I may make a suggestion guys, could we put a lid on Cindy and Flo's income levels?

I say this because the world is crazy. If anyone reading this stuff, and we don't know who really does or...

Totally valid, for the ETH I did on Ross I had a guy lined up who was an intern at RCA. He sat in on a meeting with her and execs when they were about to release the Eaten Alive lp I believe it was....

All of this really turns my stomach. Cindy does not deserve this.

If they are going to feed off her carcus can't they at least wait until she is dead?

Excellent observation Floyjoy

It seems to me that when Cindy joined it was for no other reason than to prepare Diana for solo stardom with Mary and Cindy as backing scenery. Therefore the jolt to...

I'm afraid I don't understand the question

Money, who needs it
Let me live my life free and easy
Put the toothbrush in my hand
And let me be a travlin' man

It always sounded like "Do the jerk baby" to me. On the Motown Story released in 1971, Jr. says it was a dance back then called the Shotgun, but I don't remember it.

Years ago, I think on Vh1,...

Yes, and she started her own lawsuit against Motown for royalties but did not finish it

So that she would not lash out at Diana and Gordy in the press...which she eventually did.

It is a tribute to Scherrie Payne that the ladies got another recording contract in 1974. Motown was...

[QUOTE=Ollie9;795719]I respectfully disagree. Are we saying that as opposed to Mary, Diana, would blindly comply with anything and everything Gordy wanted to the detriment of her and the group. As a...

As usual we have strayed off the basic point of Motown not liking Mary. I will maintain that was not the case.

To my recollection Deke Richards did say the released set was mostly from the last...

Jean's family owned Terrell's and Terrell's II, hair salons. Several of her siblings had taken up barbering and hairdressing. In the early 80s, before joining the FLOs, Jean attended a class at a...

If Martha went for that then she needed the money

Last I checked there were only one original Commodore. Ruth Pointer is the only living Pointer Sister performing with her daughter and granddaughter. There are no living Spinners. El DeBarge is...

As someone posted earlier, when Jean first joined a new medley of 60s hits was assembled and as Jean sang the lead on Come See About Me, Mary and Cindy threw in a verse from Baby Love and then from...

Yes, looking back I think the Supremes died when Jean left. And, after talking to her at length in 1978 I really don't think anything would have stopped Jean from leaving. Even if Bad Weather had...

Jean and Mary got along just find in the beginning, though Jean grew closer to Cindy. Jean was just not into the party scene like Mary was. While touring Jean stayed in her room and rarely went out...

Yes, the Jean led group did get some geers at one of the fundraisers, I don't remember if it was Save The Children or Operation Push or one of those types of things. Some of the Stax acts were there...

Mark Bego has seen them, he helped Mary with both books. When I was doing the Mysteries and Scandals on Florence in 2001 I got Mark to interview. I asked him specifically about Mary's diaries...
