I agree My Mistake would have been a better lead single than Special Part of Me, especially for the Pop market. I think it would have charted higher on the Hot 100 than Special Part of Me's #16 peak....

Shoulda, coulda, wouldas! :)
Shoulda been bigger:
Remember Me
I'm Still Waiting
I Thought It Took a Little Time
The Boss
Missing You
Chain Reaction
Not Over You Yet
Yes. I heard it a few times on an LA Top 40 pop station. I liked it, though I now think it was a big mistake. I believe this was when the DJ remarked that "we keep hearing Diana Ross will leave the...
LOL, Boogie! OMG, I was not in kindergarten but in college when Free To Be You And Me was released. I was very much surprised, but was proud Diana Ross was part of a unique, worthy project. I never...
Truth!! What a great story! It's new to me, but I remember reading or hearing an account about the early no-hits Supremes days with Smokey & Berry discussing "what to do with/about Diana's voice." I...
Thanks for posting this. I never tire of seeing and hearing it. Supreme evidence of their talent.
Hi sup, actually my album playlists are for my own listening pleasure, and I include Reflections on Greatest Hits 1 & 2 and title that collection Reflections [as Motown may have originally intended]....

I would agree that most of the Cindy-era studio albums...
Diana. I fell in love with The Supremes, but it was Diana's voice from the start. Still my favorite voice 60 years on.
I always liked Rebel Rouser and Because They're Young. His Motown connection surprised me but Because They're Young was a hit in 1960 and now I can hear similarities with early Motown - The Miracles'...
I grew up on the single versions and, for a long time, I preferred the single and mono versions. They sounded like the hits I remembered from the radio. I was very happy when The Ultimate Collection...
I think by the 70s many albums, including many greatest hits collections, had 10 tracks or less, depending on the lengths of the tracks. In a parallel late 1972 [no Jimmy Webb or Dynamite!!], I can...
Thanks, I needed this. :)
I remember it this way too. Mike Love was apparently feeling the spirit of the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame moment and felt the need to [sarcastically] comment on the absences of two of the most...
Yes, I really liked this, too! When and where was this? Nice energy and I never heard her sound better. She almost made me forget Diana, but I still missed Florence on the background. I've also liked...
I say 50:50. I think Hal Davis and Diana Ross are equally responsible for the recording's commercial and artistic success. It was stunning the first time I heard it on DR76. Hal Davis produced one of...
Your favorites [eras & albums] are exactly the same as mine!
I'm also glad it worked out as it did, the last #1 for DRATS and for the decade of the1960s. I had my doubts on first hearing SWBT, it being so different from previous DRATS singles. But it's an...
Where Did Our Love Go [always!]
Upside Down [Diana Ross solo]
The two standouts for me:
DMF - The early [1965] Hullabaloo with Back In My Arms Again and You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You.
MSC - Star Spangled Banner acapella at the boxing match.
Lol, Boogiedown. Just tell us how you feel, why don't you?
But your last statement is sacrilegious! I think there's a reason MWIEWY endures as a Greatest Hit despite not reaching #1. It's a great...
I was underwhelmed on first listen when I bought the album in 1975. I agree about half being good [but not great] - It's All Been Said Before, Color My World Blue, You Can't Stop a Girl in Love, Give...
She wanted to look down on all the Motown magnificence she & Berry had created/wrought! :):rolleyes:
Truth, LoveSupreme, still, 41 years on.
Coming on 60 years of Ross bliss now, but if I have to list my Ross Go To's over the decades:
Supremes:
Where did Our Love Go
Come See About Me
You Can't Hurry Love
You Keep Me Hangin' On...
