As a lifelong Diana fan that’s comforting to hear.
Through my ex i have previously met industry peeps who have worked with Bab’s and have never heard any negatives about her.
Could it be that during the early 80’s Diana’s increased focus on making money led to a temporary drop in standards?.. The Carson performance, first two RCA albums, Gary Katz recollections of recording ross 83 and the fact that “Missing You” was considered unfinished suggest that could be the case.
