I experienced Ella Fitzgerald in her mid-60's barking her way through a JVC Jazz Festival concert at Carnegie Hall and we loved her. I attended a Nina Simone performance at The Blue Note when she was...

I'll comment more fully in a minute, but yes, an interesting topic, and Stevie did indeed continue to create great music in the 80's. An imperfect but worthy of revisiting era.

Kinda, sorta overlooked at the time [[probably due to the swerve from disco to smooth jazz/quiet storm) this has become a favorite, and perhaps the favorite lp from this wonderful singer. Here's the...

Good find, Eddie! Barbara Mc is always welcomed here!

Certainly Sir Paul is no longer at his peak, but I would not consider an imperfect vocal delivery or any other nitpicking complaints as reason for him to call it a day. His millions of fans can...

Very nice to see, Bobby! Sure looks like a good crowd having a good time. I applaud Diana for singing live; it still has me a bit perplexed that Dolly P got such rave reviews for her Glastonbury set...

Never any shortage of terrible things to say from some of our members, unfortunately. But glad we found out that this is an unauthorized, and unsupported production.

Nice find; quite a 'reveal' to see Miki at the Amazing Grace concerts!

"Goal" I can't advise, but there sure were wonderful recordings, and 'River Deep' alone was worth the pairing.

Thanks, my friend AY, for finding this and posting it. That's our girl!

I don't know why, and have now-and-again thought of this as well - there are members who have read Ruth's book so maybe one will address this for us -

Have a listen to the podcast, Lakeside! It starts out with the Opera House performance. Sure wish I had been there - best to you -

Episode 1 is wonderful -

Another great performance. New costumes, new material, and Diana's looking and sounding great. I do hope the tour comes stateside!

This is why Diana Ross continues to attract a major audience. Just breathtaking.

Hi, Tom - to my knowledge Mary never attended or participated in a NYC Pride march.

Interesting, DD - I was a Dirty Mind' origination story. 1999 was a killer, to be sure! I fell off after The Black Album, which I thought was a bit repetitive and dull. After that there were just to...

That's wonderful. Thanks, Carlo -

Thanks, Eddie! I had not seen that post - don't visit here quite as often as in the past. Did you have a favorite Prince era? I don't have a fav 'era' myself, I'm more of an every-album-was-good,...

I'm listening to the Political Beats podcast 3-episode series based on this extraordinary performer. And, wondering. Why does no one discuss Prince? Ok, we're Soulful Detroit. GET IT! But ... is...

I'm a bit 'whatever' and underwhelmed. Seems more like a promo opp than anything. I have to agree largely with MotownManiac in that I've been an adult & gay AF since the mid 70's and I have exactly 1...

Yes, a few different songs - glad to see the Thank You material being featured. Glad you had a good time! I hope Diana comes here to the states. Best to you!

Hi There, my friend Tom! I hope the sound issues are improved and that you have a great time! As I've said separately, I've seen Ella-Lena-Peggy-The Dells-Jerry Butler and many more after their peak...

WONDERFUL! A great find, Blue!

Me, I don't shiv a git about reviews / reviewers. For decades I saw Aretha raise to a fever pitch audiences at venues in the NYC area - and the white, male, cis reviewer crowd pretty much always...
