Diana prefer's smaller intimate venues these days, but it was the promoters decision to book the larger venues. They hold all the power and it is they who take on all the risks involved with mega star tours.

The richest people in the world still go to work. It is the poor ones who prefer to sit all day and do nothing.
That was a little harsh Circa; not sure you meant it totally; in Canada, even we have an understanding of what white man privilege means and it’s a much more gentle and mellow country than exists down south
I agree khansperac. I think Diana made the right decision not to record IITS, at least with Barry.
I really don't think the song would have suited her voice at all and the thought of it being a D & B duet sends me running for the hills.. I also believe she made the right decision to veto any thoughts of duets for the EA album.
The song "Eaten Alive" provides a glimpse of what might have been had their voices been paired for a duet...................Yikes.
I think Diana in the early 80s proved quite the opposite. All those poor choices on her RCA albums, let alone her worries about the Chic-produced 'diana' which became her biggest success of all-time. Of course, she wasn't alone with the other powers-that-be at Motown also doubting that album.
If only Motown had a proper promotional effort for 'diana' - video clips, an actual choice of single released before the album came out and some other marketing, it could have been even more of a massive hit all around the world.
