I must agree.
There was fairly recently a major historical drama where a black actress was cast as Anne Boleyn. As least in this case they didn’t choose a white actress to play Diana.
Certainly not true in The UK where it received a considerable amount of airplay.
Most of those hits you mention have a catchy chorus. None of the songs you refer to from Supremes 75 album would have anyone humming along to them. Just my opinion.
Perhaps if “He’s My Man” had a...
I made that comment about going nowhere regarding “It’s All Been Said Before”. My opinion hasn’t changed.
”If “He’s My Man” was so knockout, why did it die a death. It certainly received enough tv...
What are your feelings regarding the casting midnight?.
When singing pop/r &b, Mary’s voice can lack personality being why there were so many split leads when a Supreme. Closer Together” is a prime example of this where Susaye’s voice adds colour and...
I think top #10 a bit optimistic, top #45 with a fair amount of radio exposure seems much more realistic.
“I’m Gonna Let My Heart Do The Walking’ is a much stronger track than anything featured on...
Thanks for the info reese. I thought Mary had referred to Midnight Love at some point when discussing their meeting.
Perhaps Marvin made some loose promise that was taken as literal.
Could we’ll be the case lol
I did a small spot of research on Kat Graham who appears to have made quite a few films, including successful tv work. She is also a singer with a few albums to her name....
There are variations, but for me still to much prancing around on all. Allowing for the time frame, it still comes across as being rather cheesy, and trying just that little bit to hard to please.
I agree brad, as i don’t hear anything in “It’s All Been Said Before” that signals a hit. Scherrie’s voice sounds unusually strained and it dosnt really go anywhere.
He’s My Man” was probably their...
Yea, that's true. He was definitely playing her something he was working on as i can remember reading the article. Wish i knew from where.
I agree regarding the choreography for “He’s My Man” being pretty dreadful. Whoever wasn’t singing lead should have been chained to their microphone stand on more then a few occasions.
Is this to be major motion picture or a made for tv film.
It’s been reported they met up one evening with Marvin playing tracks from his forthcoming Midnight Love album while asking Mary’s opinion.
I can imagine Mary asking Marvin if he might produce...
I very much agree, particularly regarding the Funk Brothers and Andantes.
Did we really need Adam Ant or Linda Ronstadt with so many significant Motown acts being unjustifiably ignored.
Gladys...
As regards the Grammys, all she had to do was send either Rhonda, Tracee or Evan to say thank you very much and goodbye. I think the Supremes legacy deserved at least that much consideration....
This works really well. A good idea to change the arrangement completely, but the simplicity rather spoilt by the over exaggerated arm movements and cheesy orchestra finish.
I hope she had a memorable day full of love and celebration.
By Supremes standards it sold really poorly. To me that says something, regardless of whoever considers it their best.
I love “I’m In A Different World”, being a far more energetic number. It’s...
Life wouldn’t have been the same without you.
I always had the feeling that Diana thought Berry was going to rush to her first. It’s only proper that she is made to wait lol.
I agree in that “Forever” is a pleasant album track, but can’t really think what might have been added as a transformation to sizeable hit. For me it just never really gets going.
With “Nitty...
The record buying public of the time and myself would have to disagree.
