I didn`t think much of the song Jobeterob but I was able to obtain a download of "The Temptations Show" from the blackamericancinema address that accompanied it. Thank you very much. Regs. Roger.

I always enjoyed seeing Diana in those long haired wigs, she looks so sexy. Not long after this show aired a photo of Bob hope embracing Diana appeared in Jet Magazine, with the title "Is This Hope?"

Wow, an early version of the song live. DR takes it nice and slow. Thanks for posting.

Thanks Rob for posting - I had truly forgot about this song being sung here. Interesting though I remember Diana on in Jet and Ebony with this same outfit.

Nice video. A lot of this stuff - the Bob Hope Special, the Temptations Show, TCB, GIT, etc. - is available on the collector's circuit. Like I always say, you just gotta know where to look.

This is a nice "starter" version of the song. As the years went by, she sang it better and better, culminating in the great performance of it on her 1979 HBO special. Too bad she doesn't perform it much nowadays.

So young and talented.

Hey, she's wearing Mary's wig!! It looks good on her. This hairstyle is my favorite from the late 60's/early 70's... Dusty had similar wig, and so did Nancy Sinatra. LOVE the style.

Do you all think her take on My Man took a leap upward after she immersed herself in the music of Billie Holliday when preparing for Lady Sings the Blues?

[skooldem1]

I think it was life. She was older and as she sang "love taught her who was the boss".

[jobeterob]

Age, kids, marriage, life, Billie Holiday all did it.

I wonder who she was singing about.........Bob or Berry? Or both?
