Thank you SO much for this reminder - I missed #1 as I was Miss Rossing in Harford - watching her tear the roof off the packed house. I'll be there tonight with you and Joe! PS: Thank you again for the definitive Never Leave Your Baby's Side! xo

Thanks guys.:) Thanks, to everyone who tuned in and/or posted last week. To work on a project like this and to have it received so well is a true joy. Thank you all very much. I really appreciate it. Special thanks to my buddy John Perrone, for this opportunity and for engineering the show, and for encouraging me to develop my Diana 50 Celebration into a two part program. I hope everyone will tune in again tonight and continue to enjoy the celebration. “Ain’t no mountain high enough . . .”

I love the videos I have seen. I would have loved to have been there for that moment. Tone and I saw Diana at the Los Angeles Amphitheatre at the very beginning of "The Force..." Tour. We lucked out so cool. Stevie Wonder was in the audience and joined Diana on stage for "Force". They just tore the place up! Then Rhonda and whole bunch of other people joined them on stage. People were just blown away. I felt so fortunate to have been there for such a rare performance. Just awesome!:D

Even as a long time fan I have had to grow into some of Diana's projects. And as I was putting this together I realized how over time I had really grown in my appreciation of the RCA years. I seem to enjoy them much more now than I did it the time. She recorded some really wonderful during that time. Songs that have stood the test of time.

The wide variety of Diana Ross recordings presented over the two nights is mind boggling. It makes me wonder why certain material wasn't released over other sides, and what the resulting chart action could have been. However, we the listeners over these past two weeks are the winners here for sure. Thank you Joseph for your inspired choices, and of course to you John for sharing your airtime.

Joseph you have outdone yourself my friend. I just know that we better fasten our seat belts for the remaining 15 minutes! :)

Well it took me 23 shows to get my courage up to do a Diana Ross celebration. I am just really happy everybody's diggin' it. Thanks everybody, I'm just flyin'!:cool:

This man has made an excellent collection here; I've been hearing it in the background; he knows his Diana Ross music.

Incredible; knowledgeable; excellent.

He's made me think I'm obsessed because I know all these songs.

Thank you; it was great.

Wow - I forgot what similar taste we have! [[Remember when we first heard Someone That I Loved Before LOL) Anyway, this has been wonderful, made Mike cry [[I'm So Happy) and these final songs.....I played Solitude everyday for months and months without fail. Amazing Job! I take my hat [[that I bought in NY) off to you!

Joseph...so glad to be a little part of your shows...and all your shows. There is something about airing a special show like yours, then going to sleep...then during sleep, all that wonderful music that you chose sifts and shifts and makes me wake up with a smile. I don't think I have had such a wonderful sleep in quite a while. Thanks for your loving labor.

Well looks like maybe it might be time sometime in the future that you are Itching for getting your DR/Supremes fix that I do another show. Maybe in the fall/early winter when her current US tour is over. Such a large catalog to choose from but he really nailed some great stuff.
