Hi, I'm Michael from Sweden, and I'm new here. I've been an avid Diana Ross [[and other Motown artists) fan since I was a kid and I also ran a Diana Ross website for many, many years. Anyway, I would like to thank Bluebrock and the rest of you for a very, very interesting thread. I love the fact that the discussion is about the ARTIST Diana Ross and her music. I also think her RCA/EMI years has been sadly overlooked or even ignored for far too long. The discussion here clearly shows that people are interested in the entire legacy of Diana Ross, not only her [[early) Motown years.
Bluebrock, a couple of questions if I may? What are your thoughts on the Live at Wembley set [[Greatest hits live) that EMI released in '89? I love anything and everything Diana, but I never thought that this live recording made her justice. I was there and loved the show, but on record the sound is kind of flat and Diana is not in her best voice on some of the songs. Was she herself happy with this album? I know EMI used songs from this album as b-sides on future singles, which was a smart marketing strategy, I just wish the live versions sounded more exciting
I also wonder if EMI UK ever thought of releasing those Japan only songs Diana recorded for her children's book, and also the one off single, "Promise Me You'll Try"? Thanks again!
