Who's playing on Diana Ross' Theme from Mahogany?

[gary_james]

Does anyone have a list of musicians playing on the Theme From Mahogany [[Do You Know Where You're Going To)?
Hal Blaine has taken credit for drumming on it, but that's all I know.
The guitar and piano are beautiful. Did Michael Masser arrange it?

[reese]

The arrangement is by Masser and Lee Holdridge.

I could have sworn Kaaren Ragland was on drums, piano, and drums?

I clearly hear the Andantes, possibly replacing Cindy, Flo and Mary or at least prominently mixed in with them.

I'm not surprised Lee Holdridge was involved, his string arrangements for other artists and soundtracks are beautiful as well.

No I think it's Barbara Martin plus Syreeta singing the high notes.

Well, what about SHANTEL BAKER??? YOU CAN'T SAY NOTHIN' WITHOUT TALKIN' 'BOUT MISS BAKER!!!

If I'm not mistaken, I think "Do You Know" is credited to the Funk Brothers in their documentary, where it lists their discography. But I could be getting it mixed up with "Touch Me In the Morning", which would make more sense. Do You Know has too many strings and orchestral instruments to be credited to in house Motown musicians IMO.

I thought Gerald Goffin was also one of the writers.

Since the movie and single came out in 1975, it would have been an L.A. session with Lee Holdridge arranging. I think Touch Me In The Morning was also done in L.A. with Ed Greene on drums. Gerry Goffin [[RIP) wrote the lyrics to "Do You Know...).
