I would have loved to hear what Jean Terrell could have
done with it....esp. "When October Goes" and "The Last Dream Home."

Mary Wilson sang "When October Goes" at Nancy's funeral and sounded great.Quote:

You're right. I am going to do that. Thank you.Quote:

I am sorry to learn that she passed. I think it great that Mary sang at her funeral.
Nancy Wilson had no funeral as per her personal wishes. Her memorial service is forthcoming. You may be thinking of a recent performance of Mary's where she sang it.Quote:

Mary broke down at the end of the song. Spoke of her long friendship with Nancy dating back to the 60s and how Nancy use to call her "little Miss Mary Wilson". She spoke about how much fun they had doing Dionne Warwick's "That's What Friends Are For" television special in the 80s, etc etc. etc. The video was/is on Facebook. If I can find the link, I'll post it here. No need to lie here.Quote:

Ah, okay. So they had the memorial already, but not a funeral. I stand corrected.
Thank you Marv.
You know what? I never really understood the difference between a funeral and memorial service. What's the difference?Quote:

Nancy performs the definitive version, I think. I'll pass on the funeral version.Quote:

I did not know about the Barry Manilow connection. Interesting. I still think Jean could have done a decent job with it, but Nancy owns this song for sure.Quote:

I am not saying Jean could have surpassed Nancy's efforts. That would be a bridge too far for most performers, but it would have been interesting to have heard what Jean could have done with such material.Quote:
